Two years ago I wrote about how to find peace when it feels like your world has been turned upside down. Then the focus was on personal change and the turmoil that can come, for example, through relocation, the end of a relationship, ill health, the death of a loved one, and so on. Never did I imagine that change would come on a global scale such as we’re experiencing now.

Then, the emphasis was on letting go of any need to control, and accepting that things happen as and when they are meant to, our experiences are neither good nor bad, they are simply part of the rich tapestry of life. And, on finding the piece within us that once accepted brings us peace – our Essence, the heart of who we are, the diamond within our heart, where we KNOW all is well in spite of how things might appear. That knowing in our heart that we’re always taken care of, we’re not alone, which brings a wonderful sense of peace.

Now more than ever we need to connect with our heart and accept that everything happens for a reason, there is a plan…and ask ourselves what is the opportunity.  

As we move into the new year, let’s celebrate the beauty in our life, in our world, and open our hearts to creating a new world built upon acceptance and peace, compassion and care, a world without fear. A world where we think of others, the world as a whole, rather than ourselves,

What do you need to accept that will bring peace to yourself and our world?
