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.

I am sure that some of us say on Monday morning or evening “how am I going to face into another week” and many times this is true but here’s an idea – think of a visit to a museum and what do you find there? The most cherished and valuable items from all over the world and from every age and dating back millions of years.
Good evening everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on another Monday, the beginning of yet another week in our beautiful month of September and day 71 out of lock down. I am sure that some of us say on Monday morning or evening “how am I going to face into another week” and many times this is true but here’s an idea – think of a visit to a museum and what do you find there? The most cherished and valuable items from all over the world and from every age and dating back millions of years. What are these mosaics made of? Mostly broken or damaged items of stone, glass, canvas, all broken into small pieces “but” arranged artistically. So there’s the message for you all on this Monday in September. Next time you feel a little broken, pick up the pieces of your life and think “how might I put them together again in a new and more beautiful way”
Hope you had a lovely day!
Continue to pray, continue to bless each other and send healing to each other and wear your lovely smile.

The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 170
Today is the beginning of a new month and my favourite month for many reasons and I will explain why over the coming 30 days. Firstly, I always associate it with the harvest, the fruits of the farm and garden and it always reminds me of my place in harmony with nature and the universe. For the past six months of the Covid19 era I have really enjoyed the garden and farm here at Ballinwillin House. There were times when it was tough, barren, empty and silent and we had 8 days of storms and outrageous damage but now in the calm of September we are sowing seeds of joy again.
Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 65 out of lock down. Today is the beginning of a new month and my favourite month for many reasons and I will explain why over the coming 30 days. Firstly, I always associate it with the harvest, the fruits of the farm and garden and it always reminds me of my place in harmony with nature and the universe. For the past six months of the Covid19 era I have really enjoyed the garden and farm here at Ballinwillin House. There were times when it was tough, barren, empty and silent and we had 8 days of storms and outrageous damage but now in the calm of September we are sowing seeds of joy again. Seeds of beauty, love, happiness and full of hope and courage. We will learn to grow from this six months experience, we will joy, we will harvest, we will heal mentally and psychologically but we must observe with reverence the inner correctedness between the garden, the harvest and the September of our life and we must join in and be part of the garden of the universe, the creators garden. So today, continue with deep prayer. Send blessings and healing to each other and be bursting with September joy and hope and harvest – it can make the world and wear a September smile.
