International Women’s Day: the freedom not to be perfect
Today is International Women’s Day, and I’m writing this from the dining table while listening to Radio 3 Unwind. I’m sitting down with my laptop and a going-cold cup of tea, after Virginia Woolf’s famous essay A Room of One’s Own popped into my head.

How Ancient Spiritual Teachings helped me
The way we look at things and feel about certain situations can change as soon as we take the time to reconnect with our true Self, with our Soul.

We receive the necessary divine support to heal emotional pain.
