The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 298

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 8 into our latest lock down. Well, all during yesterday I got a tremendous response to Nollaig na mBan or Womens Christmas. It is great to see that the tradition is alive and well in some parts of the country anyway. I believe it helps us all in our sense or struggle to belong. It is always nice to remember us belonging and I believe it creates harmony between soul and life and that in itself creates a sanctuary for us to visit especially on special day during the year. We know that our hearts have an eternal longing and it is beautiful to look back and celebrate occasions with warmth and kindness when we gaze within. It also allows light enter our belonging into the future where we may always be blessed with a wild beauty to create an invisible circle of protection around us and all who we love. So today, let us embrace our traditions and propel them forward with the respect that our ancestors bequeathed them to us. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your smile.
