Be Peaceful Now

January 16, 2016April 8, 2017 / Holly / Leave a comment

None of us ever knows what lies ahead, but we can each choose to find ways to be peaceful now. Now is the only time that any of us has, and we can make our own lives stable by appreciating its value. When we are peaceful, we make it easier for others to be peaceful … Continue reading Be Peaceful Now

Quiet Time In Winchester Cathedral

September 12, 2015February 14, 2016 / Holly / Leave a comment

A few months ago, I was down in Winchester to attend a couple of events at Winchester College and found a little time for myself on the Saturday morning, anonymous and alone amongst the many inhabitants and visitors to the town. Feeling tired and fairly tender on the day, I decided to take myself on foot to … Continue reading Quiet Time In Winchester Cathedral

If your life is all about striving, you will never be satisfied. If your life is all about being, even while you are striving, you can always be real and you can always be satisfied. With love, Holly x

She Let Go – A Poem by Safire Rose

June 17, 2015April 12, 2018 / Holly / 3 Comments

In the past few weeks, I have seen several writings and little signs about the importance of letting go. For many of us, this is incredibly hard to do but, when things build up to a crescendo, we realise that we really have to release what is holding us back from peace. I have had my own … Continue reading She Let Go – A Poem by Safire Rose

When We Respect Other People’s Boundaries

April 17, 2015February 26, 2016 / Holly / Leave a comment

When we respect other people's boundaries, we remove much of the need for their creation of defences. ~ Holly

On Architecture

April 17, 2015January 1, 2018 / Holly / Leave a comment

  I imagine that a good course in Psychology would be as worthwhile to an Architect, as a good course in Nutrition would be to any Doctor.   ♥   ~ Holly

A little bit of #Edinburgh #architecture, complete with #Australian gum (#eucalyptus) tree out the front. Loving the #blue door and #classic lines. Buildings in Edinburgh just need a bit of a scrub to lighten them up a bit, methinks. Would be a much more positive vibe if the stone was its original golden hue. But that's just me being pedantic. The bones are good and the elegance always strikes me. 🏛 . . #Art #Travel #Design #Structure #Facades #ArtHistory #NewTown #Landscape #Cityscapes #SeeTheWorld #BitsOfBuildings #WritersOfInstagram
Recently I travelled to #Israel, for the first time, with a group of people who were on the @tbnuk & @tbn #HopeAndGrace Tour. We set off in our coach on Day 2, the first day having been all about travel and transfers from the UK to our base for the week, our first stop the #MountOfOlives. After visiting The Jewish Cemetery, we walked down to The Garden of Gethsemane, a place of deep meaning that nestles on the hill opposite The Temple Mount in #Jerusalem. Tuesday 6 March 2018. 🇮🇱💙🇮🇱 . . #Travel #Adventure #TBNIsraelTour #TBNIsrael2018 #HopeAndGraceTour #WritersOfInstagram #TheGardenOfGethsemane
