Life. One Breath at a Time.
Big hugs, dear gentle reader.
As Easter Sunday draws to a close, here’s an Easter Meditation for hope to help you stay uplifted as we navigate the storms of life.
May your heart overflow with the peace of eternal hope.
May every breath stabilise and balance your nervous system.
May every step you take keep you connected with our Mother the Earth
and may your soul sing your birth right song, loud and clear.

To honour my words, the messages inside;
To nurture my spirit, take a stand and surrender to the living word.

Dr Mehmet Yildiz provides a comprehensive article on what a leader isn’t and Terry Mansfield describes the qualities and character of “good leadership.”
And all of this is well and good.
I love and respect academic theories and intellectual debates.
Still, how does any of this relate to the everyday person?
