Hi everyone.
Thanks for joining us again this week as we meet another of our LifeWell Hills team.
This week we meet our spiritual director Di Shearer. She's a wise lady with a heart of gold and a listening ear.
I'll let her tell you more about herself and how she can help you to LIVE LIFE WELL.
___________________________________________

I remember being seven years old and hearing someone talk about the meaning of life. I took the hand of God which was stretched out for me in that moment and have continued to go upstream all my life, against the current, secure in a tiny canoe with God’s hand holding me, guiding me, protecting me all the way.

Of course my ways of seeing God have changed all through the decades. My ways of talking with God have changed too. A famous psychologist named Carl Jung once said: Called or not called, God will be there. He hung this inscription on the door of his house. He also said: I do not need to believe in God, I know. Well that’s the kind of quest I’ve been on all my life. Each of us has an instinct that looks for something or someone beyond ourselves.

After teaching in secondary schools in my youth, after treks in the jungles of Malaysia for a decade of my life, after lecturing at Uni SA for two decades, I’ve settled into retirement to give this quest first place in my life. A quest to know God within, to know my true self, a quest to be at peace with myself, my world and my God.

I joined LIfeWell Hills as part of this quest. Yes, I’m still searching, yearning, longing … and I’d love to share your searching, yearning and longing with you. I’ve been trained to listen without intruding. I’ve been trained to notice and to help you hear your deepest longings and the voice of God within. It’s a practice called Spiritual Direction. To put it more simply: Listening into Life. I look forward to meeting with you as you seek to find meaning and relevance in your life.

Di Shearer - spiritual director and member of the LifeWell Hills Team.

Anything that you have, you can lose, Anything you are attached to, you can be separated from, Anything you love can be taken away from you. Yet, if you really have nothing to lose, you have nothing.

(Kalish, 1985, as cited in Firth, Luff, & Oliviere, 2005, p. 200)

Working things out with your ex-partner can sometimes be hard and stressful... I can help reduce this stress by assisting you with: developing parenting plans, work out property settlements, or other family issues.
