This is one of my favourite places in the world! Why, because it's my safe haven!
As a little girl, my childhood was filled with a lot of emotional trauma, violence, and uncertainty. While it may not have always been directed at me. It was very much in my daily existence! Why am I sharing this with you this. NOT for sympathy or to have people feel sorry for me! If you know me, you know that I always do my best to see the good in life, people and situations, even when my world feels like it's falling apart.
I'm sharing this because even as a 46 year old woman. When life gets a bit too much, which it can, especially in the world we live in at the moment. I want to have that feeling of safety! When I visit this beautiful part of the world, my inner child feels comforted, and I feel comforted. I can breathe, I can reset my nervous system and immediately feel grounded!
I remember when I moved here at the age of 10 years old, what it felt like to experience safety for the first time in my life. My Grandparents took me in and showed me what love felt like, what the meaning of family truly meant, and protected me as a young child from brutality. They gave me back my childhood and a sense of innocence. To which I will be forever grateful! Even though they are no longer with me in the physical world, their kindness, beautiful hearts and life lessons have stayed with me.
To some, these are beautiful pictures and it makes me happy to be able share such beauty. To me, this is what my safe haven looks like. I appreciate how lucky I am to be able to have stayed here. I'm also aware that not everyone is as lucky to have a place that provides them safety or a place they can call home.
This is a gentle reminder that when life gets too much. Visit your safe haven, whether that's an actual place, a good book, a heart-felt film, a person or trusting in yourself for guidance and reassurance. Take a moment to pause, to find stillness and listen to your inner wisdom who speaks softly through you!
By reading this, know that I'm sending loving energy directly to you. Know that in a world of uncertainty, fear, hatred and anger. I will be your beacon of light in the darkness!
