Hello Everyone!

If you tune in regularly to my blogs you will have noticed that I have been absent for just over a week!  I have been away on holiday with Mr T, cruising around Spain and Italy! We had a wonderfully relaxing break and have I have returned refreshed and calmed.

One of my favourite things to do when I am away (as well as eating lots of yummy local food and sampling the local tipple) is to go in to any place of worship, whether its a church, a monastery, a temple or a cathedral.  For a short while, I lose myself in the sacred space that is so tranquil and infinitely calm with peace, serenity and above all silence.

In the silence and serenity, I find the sacred space inside of me.  The one that has no needs, no doubts, no fears, no anger, no hurt and no judgement.  It can create a sacred space like no other even if it is only for a short period.  There is a sense of something bigger than life in all places of worship.  There is a sense of power and strength within the marbled walls.  There is serene beauty in the artworks and statues. 

I have discovered that over the years I have become interested in all faiths and beliefs.  I pick and choose the beliefs, rituals, prayers and deities that resonate with me.  I had tears streaming down my cheeks when I received a papal blessing this week in Rome.  Seeing the Pope was an amazing experience.  When I read books on Buddhism, my heart swells with words of wisdom and I recognise my own truth.  I keep mantras on my desk to Ganesh and Lakshmi from the Hindu faith.  I use Feng Shui and I have talismans of love, wealth and health in every room in my house.  My purse is bulging with crystals, prayer cards to favourite saints and of course I have Angels EVERYWHERE!!!  That is my faith, my truth and probably why I feel at peace in any home of worship.

Where do you come home to your sacred space inside of you? What are your truths? What gives you faith?

I love going away and exploring the world but nothing beats the feeling of coming home!

Love and Blessings,
