We will just take 10 minutes out of our busy schedule of our day to just deep in down in the silence and connect with the source within, and bring your attention in to your heart space. Let us be open to the good that is always available as we allow ourselves to be conscious of it. I came to London when I was one and I was thinking about this... London over the years truly has changed because I feel that is one of the most accepting capitals that exists in our world. In this oneness we know that we are all part of the divine life that is flowing in... I grew up in a Cristian orientated family and I always believed in Jesus, I loved Jesus and I still do. However, as I am prompt to say, I am not a Cristian. I am an absolute lover and believer of Jesus. So for me as I looked at and separated myself from the church that grew up with, and the religion that I grew up with. I recognised that I wanted to recognise and honour a god that was inclusive. The love of god enfolds me, the power of god protects me, the presence of god watches over me. I was servicing, I was being loving, I was being compassion, I was doing charity work but there was a real calling that I need it to go deeper. I need it to do more, I need it to be more. And that was the reason for me going into seminary. I created my virtual Community, the Sunday Soul Connection. There is definitely the experience of being joined together across the airwaves. You can definitely feel and sense the presence of other people. When I looked at the early part of my life it was truly, I was the best daughter that I could be and then when I was married, I was the best wife I could be. Now it is my time to be the best version of me that I wanted to be. So, I wanted to create something that reflected me. My house is my sanctuary. It is created to be a place of peace and a place of healing, and a place of true expression. I have truly given over to express every part of my personality, in terms of colour and electricness. I don't believe in conforming. People are looking for more holistic way of living, being, and showing up. And I wanted to be part of that, and living the life you are meant to live. Take this awareness, take this peace. Take this calmness with you. So, that you truly can allow your light to shy. Where ever you are to stay. And so it is. Amen.
