Soul experience
- Having a gift can be quite separate to the life you live. Your gift may determine what you need to do in life and what opportunities that come your way. Yet living your life is something that you can determine regardless of your gift. You can determine what you want and where you want life to take you. Edith Piaf’s advice was to love and in that one word we can find a way of living. Through love we can embrace our life and move through it giving and receiving all with good intent. Through love we can work to enhance our lives and those around us. Even when the events in life seem to turn on us, we can still find a place of love to bring us home

Louise Hay – one moment one action
“By embracing faith, instead of fear, we become an example of the love and strength needed to help change the world. Peace was never won with violence and faith has never been met with darkness.
Let us become the deliverers of hope through our intention to make the world a better place, one moment and one action at a time.”
