🙏“Slow me down Lord”, a phrase I hear over time but do we really take time to pause, reflect, recharge without rewinding our thoughts to change or put things into perspective.? It is about moving forward Louise!! Knowing ourselves and what we really want out of life which takes time to process. At the crossroads of life we release our emotions, realise our worth, believe we can be who we really are and regain hope , strength and courage to do so. Listening to the positivity in your voice and those reflective 3 minutes with Eimear have impacted on my personal journey of which I’m truly thankful. 🙏🎼👏☘️🫶🦋🐞🌈

This: “My heart filled like a child splashing into the swimming pool on holidays and my brain took a deck chair under an umbrella in the shade watching on.”

Perfection! ♥️
