Walking the Path: The Next Natural Step
Just had my article/review published on HuffPost for Walking the Path – the follow-up course after Path of Love, both by Path Retreats.
It seems I am on a linking path with this community, and I welcome the journey, the work and the connection. These have been my favourite things to do this year, and by far the most beneficial personal development retreats/courses I have ever done!
Feel free to have a look at the article/review, and see what you think!

Every Nan :-)
If your nan doesn't wave to you until you've disappeared all the way down the street, is she even your nan?

Path of Love : Boot Camp for the Soul!
In June this year, I was given the opportunity to attend the Path of Love retreat in Buckland Hall, Brecon.
Path of Love is a global seven-day intensive personal development retreat, and is famous worldwide for its therapeutic and transformational process.
I was nervous about going, but boy am I glad I did!
Here’s the link to my third HuffPost piece – Path of Love: Boot Camp for the Soul!
Hope you enjoy!

Typing Blanks
For a while now, I’ve had some trouble accessing my creative inspiration. I’ve managed to write a couple of articles, but when it comes to writing stories, I’ve been suffering from the dreaded disease that all writers are afraid of: Writer’s Block.
Yes, friends. I’m typing blanks.
The honest truth is that after suffering with some health problems, it’s not just my body that’s been affected. My mind has been affected, my heart has been affected, my mood has been affected, and my creativity has been affected, too. It’s been a real bitch of a few months, and I’m having treatment for both the physical and emotional effects of my health issues, so I’ll get there. In the meantime, though, I’ve decided to take a little break from writing because I don’t want to force the writing process. If I’m driven by pressure, instead of pleasure, then quite frankly, I’m screwed. I can’t write well, if my body and mind isn’t well. I can’t write well, if pressure is the reason I’m writing. I write because I love it. My love of writing has to be my primary driving force, otherwise what’s the point?
So, in the spirit of being kind to myself, I will be taking a little break from writing. Just for a few months. I’m going to snuggle up, rest, live gently and get well. Once I feel well enough to write again – however long that takes – then I will be back with a new HuffPost article and hopefully a new boost of energy!
Wish me luck!
With love,
Maria

The Sky is Always Blue
Sometimes, the sky is dark.
The days are long, and the nights even longer.
Sometimes, you feel weak.
You wonder if you’ll ever feel stronger.
Sometimes, your body aches.
A dull pain all through your heart.
Sometimes, all you want,
Is a break from the clouds; a new day, a fresh start.
Sometimes, when you’re at your saddest,
That’s when your smile is widest.
You never let on to the outside world,
That inside, your mind is at its wildest.
The hardest challenge is to reach out and say,
“Please, friend. I’m having a really tough day.”
On these days, during these times,
When you feel that you have no fight.
Please know, my dear, that change is coming;
Everything will be alright.
The clouds may be big, the weather cold.
The storm may be harsh, the wind may be bold.
But the grey that you see, is the lowest colour.
A little higher, a rainbow does shine.
You might not be able to see it yet,
But I promise, you’ll see it in time.
One day, the clouds will part a little,
And a tiny bit of sun will shine through.
behind the dark, the dull and the grey,
The sky is always blue.
With Love,
Maria Grace xxx
