As we head towards the end of March, every sign of Easter and new life is most welcome. The catkins are one such sign and are always a reminder that spring is not just around the corner but simply here. P.S Don’t forget to put the clocks forward one hour tonight, another reminder that spring is truly here!!



‘The first person who has to believe in you is you.’ ~Author Unknown


It is always important to believe in ourselves and in what we have to offer and give. Surprisingly many people are slow to believe in themselves. A child or adult whose gifts and talents are not nurtured will believe over time that they are simply no good. That is why words of encouragement are crucial and vital whatever our age. We are often told that God loves us no matter what. But unless we first believe in ourselves how can we believe that even God loves us? Whatever your circumstances, whatever your current situation, you have got to believe in what you can do. None of us can change the world at large, but my little bit can make the world of a difference. Our prayer is very short and simple for today: Lord, help me to believe in myself.
