Wisdom and Healing of Flowers

“How do I live in the Magic? Be asked… Well… I find a cup of tea works wonders {{chuckle}}, as no matter what the weather, or what time of day or night it is, when the stresses of life threaten to overwhelm, I make a cuppa and join the fairy folk in the garden.

For those few precious minutes, my mind switches off while I stand and listen to nature.

Hence my mantra 'while there's tea, there's Hope.’  Not to mention of course that tea leaves sprinkled around roses help stop 'black spot'

My Grandmother always told me 'Keep things Simple’ and the older I've become, the more I understand how right she was.”

Ali spent more years than she cares to remember as a qualified alternative health practitioner, but now leaves the rushing around for the younger generation, and has moved into absent healing via meditation and prayers.

Four years ago she took up painting again after more than thirty years since she’d last held a paintbrush, wanting pictures to go with her many prayers, blessings and poems. One day she hopes it will all go into a book to raise money for charity, whilst bringing healing, hope, pleasure and uplift to yet more people that need it, through colour and the spoken word.

“It is important to have a dream, even if the goal is never reached, as you just never know how many lives you can touch in a positive way, without actually knowing it.

Healing Blessings
