I took this photo last evening at 5.45pm from Curabinny Woods looking across at Crosshaven, Co.Cork

While passing Curabinny Woods yesterday, I used the little stretch in the evenings to get a quick walk in. The view through the trees looking across at Crosshaven looked beautiful. For me it is the stretch in the evenings which is already so noticeable that gives me great hope

Video for the week🎥 

This is my latest new video and it is called ‘Some of the Spiritual Blocks in our lives’. A walk along by the River Aubane created the inspiration!

 

As we start 2025 this video is simply called ‘A Prayer for a Happy New Year’

 

With all the recent snow in different parts of Ireland including Millstreet, Co.Cork this video seems a good recommendation🙏

Spiritual Thought For The Week

A Prayer for a Happy New Year 2025 – As we start the new year it is good to pause and pray for some important things as we move into 2025

A Prayer for a Happy New Year

As we start this New Year may we walk gently. May we be kind and gentle with ourselves each day. May we have courage and hope during the difficult days May we hold the light for others when we sense their darkness and difficulty May we take lots of small steps rather than those random big leaps May we trust our God, the creator of all life knowing we have a beautiful purpose in life. May we try to do our best each day knowing this is all we can do. May we treasure the gift that is today knowing that the real treasure is the beauty and simplicity that you bring to this day. May we do our best to make the most of this coming year Amen
