The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary 317
Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 27 of our latest lock down. This morning the neighbourhood is cold with the winter freeze but soon we will experience the death of winter and the birth of spring, but also this morning in Ballinwillin we mourn the death and passing of Joe Mulcahy our neighbour, a legend in the music business and a founding member of the famous Maurice Mulcahy Band. A band that gave huge enjoyment to thousands of people worldwide. This morning our prayers are with his family, friends and neighbours. Now destiny calls Joe to a place of music where his trumpet will sound again for all our spiritual enjoyment, where his heart will always remain generous, all heavenly doors will open to his musical light as you now quietly befriend your death and you have no need to fear. You are among your own orchestra in the big band with your pure white suit you are now equal to your destiny and nearer to Earths heart. Rest in peace Joe. Continue to pray, bless and power healing to all who need it and wear your smile.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 82
I am well surrounded by the company of my animals but I really miss the company of our guests at Ballinwillin House and I really look forward to having them all back once lock down is over. The company of our guests from all over the world gives us all energy and warmth at Ballinwillin House.
Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens. It is quite cool here this morning and not good weather for my hay. This morning I am going to talk to you about “company”. The company of people because I am well surrounded by the company of my animals but I really miss the company of our guests at Ballinwillin House and I really look forward to having them all back once lock down is over. The company of our guests from all over the world gives us all energy and warmth at Ballinwillin House. We all lived in one anothers company when the guests stayed with us for their duration and reasoning. Each one of them brought their own stories to our breakfast table and our dining room table. Many of them might be burdened for some reason but we always shared with them our help, advice or comfort, sharing is caring and is very important. Also our own growth and knowledge and development was greatly improved by their contributions. I believe we all lead better lives when we share in the presence and talents of others, just as our guests did benefit from our positive involvement in their lives by our warmth, soul, heart and hospitality. I believe we are all shaped and fashioned by the hospitality and love we shine on others. We have a sign in our reception saying “enter as strangers, leave as family”. But it is not just an ordinary sign - “we live it and they absorb it”. So from today on all of you there live up to legendary hospitality that we are famous for.
Continue to pray, bless and heal each other and wear that smile.
