"Oh Ted..I wonder if The Slaney has gone down & if we'll be able to get to school to see all the children" said Nelly,

"It's awful,Nelly..all the poor people's homes & shops that are now all full of water,

Isn't it strange how water cleans us but makes everything dirty sometimes", said Ted,

"But how will we get through Ted..maybe Ben's car won't get through the water",

"I know what we can do Nelly", sings out Ted,

Jump in my boat & we'll paddle through it all together",

"Oh you always find a way Ted..you make me feel safe",

"Pull now Nelly..row,row,row your boat gently down the stream"

And off we go on another of Ted & Nelly's Adventures.

Reiki Level One Training this weekend,

Had to cancel the evening class I teach due to the weather so I managed to get ahead of myself with admin this afternoon,

I've printed off the manuals for the four lovely people that are booked in with me to start their Reiki Journey next Saturday & Sunday,

It's an absolute honour they've chosen me to teach them,

I'll never tire of seeing people walk through the door in search of something to help them & Reiki does that every single time,

A beautiful weekend awaits us all 💛

It was a very short commute to work this morning,

Down the lane to Our Lady Of Lourdes NS,

Coincidentally it was this week 7 years ago that I taught my very first Mindfulness Class in a school,

I'd approached Mr.Moriarty & he decided to give me a chance,

Many school doors were slammed in my face prior to this..at that time I was offering any school I contacted a complimentary session to let them see what I was doing & they still weren't interested..wouldn't even try the free session,

If I wasn't so confident in what I do this would've destroyed my dream of bringing what I do into schools to help the children,

I realised it was just a case of finding the right Principal,

I found that in Tomàs Moriarty,

After my Sound session in Miss Clinton's ASD Class I bumped into Tomàs in the hallway,

He welcomed me back with a handshake & I thanked him for believing in me when it was proving almost impossible to get in anywhere & for continuing to bring me back over the years,

His response was "and sure look at ye now Ben",

Indeed..I can proudly look back at my younger self & say "well look at ye now Ben..it all worked out after all"

Ted:"Not feeling so good today Nelly",

Nelly:"What's the matter Tedster?"

Ted:"My head feels fuzzy & I feel a little sad & I don't know why..I just want to stay under the duvet all day where I'm safe,"

Nelly:"Awww Ted I'm sorry you don't feel safe but if we get up together now we can go with Ben & snuggle down under blankets with the children at school & have Sound Bath,"

Ted:"Oh,OK.. I know that always makes me feel better..sometimes we need to just remember what helps..I'm glad you're my friend Nelly..you always help me remember",

THUMP THUMP...Down Ted jumps out of the bed..a little sad but ready to try.

Two situations brought me to playing this song this morning,

My nephew Alan,after the Tommy Tiernan show hadn't heard of Paul Brady so I sent him this song,

During the 80's you'd hear Paul Brady on Irish radio constantly & this song in particular reminds me of teenage Summers..I adore it as much now as I did then,

A comment from my lovely friend Marie Becconsall was the second reason,

In a voice note over the weekend Marie said something along the lines of "do what you advise all of us to do Ben..go back & tell your teenage self you've made it..you've followed your dreams & you've found your place in the world",

Great advice Marie😁

The broken,anxious,depressed young girl within me has brought me to this point,

Finding Reiki 11 years ago has brought me on this magical whirlwind that is my life today,

Secure in myself..feeling safe..content with all I have..not a people pleaser..forging a path through life that's not someone else's nor am I dependent on anyone else for my happiness,safety or financial security,

I think I can happily say I've followed my crazy dreams & made it,

I burst out crying with happiness halfway through listening to this song & if you were around in the 80's in Ireland you'll know every single word,

Go on...lash it on loud 🎶 🎵

Strabane singer songwriter Paul Brady continues to make a name for himself with his solo career.Former member of The Johnstons and one of the founding member...

€94 raised in the raffle today for

I drew the names out after the Sound Bath earlier when we were having a cuppa,

People's names & phone numbers were on the tickets attached to the prizes so I didn't take photos,

All winners have been notified,

Instead I've attached a photo of my beautiful Belle from a few years ago,

The absolute picture of contentment which is just about how I'm feeling right now 😊

What an amazing day so far,

14 people came along to try out various types of Massage this morning,

I think they all left feeling better than when they came in,

So lovely to see new faces coming through the doors of Seomra Sangha & familiar ones too,

Tired now but happy tired,

All set up for Sound Bath at 4pm with some lovely people coming along,

When you love what you do,you'll never work a day 🙏
