Love & Light

 

A story about never giving up

Growing is part of life’s journey.

We change, we learn, and we evolve until we become who we are meant to be. The little seed in this story represents each one of us, and is a gentle reminder to embrace all the different seasons of life. The little seed is learning about patience, perseverance, trusting the process – and most importantly, to never give up.

Note from the Author

 

There are hidden meanings and lessons in your life and healing has a beautiful way of discovering them. Things might not always make sense or be fair, and at times something can be very painful. But if we trace our life backwards, we always find our way home, back to ourselves, back to love and back to the light within us.

Through my own healing journey, I gained some incredible insights which invoked a sense of creativity within me. I found inspiration in the intertwined lessons of life and nature.

Nature grounds us, inviting reflection and connection. For children, it serves as a gentle reminder of the Love surrounding them, offering solace in moments of feeling lost and an opportunity to tap into their inner Light. The Light is the unseen guiding force, it brings hope, clarity and intuition.

Through storytelling, I aim to shed light on these themes, showcasing how nature nurtures the heart and the importance of planting the seed of what Love & Light could represent in the impressionable minds of the young people who will shape the future.

My hope is that this story reaches into your heart and your home. May we all discover the power of healing, creating, and never giving up.

Serendipity

 

A Moment In Time

 James stands toes buried in the sand, ankles brushed by the cool waves of his beach.

                              Why should he leave?
                          Why should he have to go ?
                            …It’s their choice not his.

                              ‘It’s not fair!’ he mutters.

James is faced with a difficult choice…he doesn’t want to leave his special place, but his family is moving and there is no way for him to stay.

Serendipity – a moment in time – intervenes and a surprise encounter helps him to stand up and be counted.
