The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 725

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, Gardens and RetrEat centre. Today is a very special day in the life of The Mindful Farmer. It is the birth and publication of my second book "Hope in a time of crisis", 365 days of messages to help people have hope in these difficult times. I began writing these messages on the first days of the Corona virus pandemic. I had a gut feeling that this was very serious and I began by writing down how I was feeling daily, what was going on around me on the farm, gardens and in my life, my family life and business. It was all very difficult and traumatic at times and also there were happy times. Each day I endeavoured to help people, to give people hope by being thankful, by praying, by blessing, by powering out hope and faith to my family, friends and all who needed help. This book is powered by hope and faith and is a tribute to my wonderful family, friends and colleagues who, over the years and in this pandemic, have believed in me, have helped me and loved me. Without all this support my dreams could not be fulfilled. The hidden, unseen bud in darkness would not have germinated. My daily messages of hope are powered to people to express life, joy, happiness and delight that you are all out there alive and living in hope which is the daughters to the wonderful Mother of Faith. Our Celtic minds have a very keen and refined sense of acceptance and occasion and we know deep down that we will be blessed in every possible happening. Continue to pray, bless, power healing and hope to all who need it and wear your Friday smile.
