YOUR STORY - What WAS - what IS and IS TO COME !

The decision to write and create ‘Heart 2 Hope’ spaces and services was born out of many unexpected situations of my own, both those of loss and those of gain. Sharing our own stories by reaching out with empathy and love and opening our own ‘tent flaps’ wide, can create the best atmosphere for connection and restoration, in the heart, home and community.

Heart 2 Hope services and our ‘She Is‘ programs have been enhanced by personal insights; dealing with women in the workplace, community, family, while travelling and generally just doing life. Evolving over this past decade and through creating opportunity for others to be involved in the power of story writing, sharing, listening and reading. Or restoring in a relaxing ‘silent zone’ space of pamper, peace and creativity.

‘She Writes’

‘She Speaks’

‘She Connects’

We can make our collaborative contributions a celebration of all that WAS, IS and IS TO COME ! 🤔 👏👏👏

One of my first confirmations and encouragements of the woman's ‘She is connected’ support direction was when I met a lady in Fiji for only 10 minutes before she flew back to Sydney, both couples on holiday at the same resort. I briefly shared that I was away cresting a program for women. The outcome of this strategic unexpected meeting was the ‘Addiction’ short story in one of the ‘She Is Beyond’ sessions. It was several years later that she felt to write a longer story towards our ebook future resources, an unexpected ‘author’. Her story, like your story continues to evolve. As she unravels events and circumstances that were locked away she is experiencing continual ’onion layer’ steps towards the life she was destined to have. What was….is….and is to come! ❤️

Writing unlocks the soul and releases the mind from strongholds that can keep us captive to our limitations and heartaches. I never ’feel’ like writing but once I surrender and put fingers to the keypad or pen it just flows, yes even if your a 2 finger typist 😂 fortunately I’m not or these resources would be another decade away 🙄🤔😆 . Its not the fingers or pen that holds the story! Like life, don't spend too much time thinking, planning or worrying that you might fail, get it wrong or not do a ’perfect’ job. Thats no way to live or write. Let it flow forth with spontenaity, naturelness and authenticity. Then instead of writing ’author unknown’, proudly put your own name at the end. It will be from your heart, your life - YOUR STORY - no one elses. There it’s out, now let someone else sort the edit for you! You’ve done your part and are ready for the next chapter. You’ve now ‘Turned the Key’ and unlocked one of the rooms in your heart and beyond.

Do you have something to share with us and then to the world! We invite you to consider contacting us, we would feel so honoured! You never know who else needs to hear what you have to say, know that mistakes are ok, its how we handle them that matters most. It might be for one of our topic specific ebooks, our poetry calendar or ’She is’ programs. Or come along to our online or live ’spaces’ and create a dreamboard or gratitude letter, share it with other women or take it home to a friend or family member at the end. Write to us anytime - we are here to help you sweep that room clean, open the windows and let the breeze flow through.

After my brief encounter with this ’author’ all those years ago in Fiji and out of protection for her 22 year old daughter, she posted her journal notes to me a perfect stranger, for ‘safe keeping’. The previous year the father of her child and her dysfunctional ex from 20 years prior, had taken his own life. The event brought back many memories she needed to put down on paper from that difficult part of her life, they had been buried. Her freedom journey had begun and is still going. What was….what is…..what is to come. Find the treasure hidden in the field, unlock the mysteries in your own heart. ❤️

Together we look back now at how amazing it was that she did that, that she trusted a woman she didn’t know. For me it was just one of the many signs along the way that the task at hand was a part of my journey and destiny for both myself and others. I can’t describe how privileged and humbled I feel most days and my promise will always be:

“We hold your stories gently in our hands and hearts with love and care”

After reading this today and as we start another month, in a period of time in the world where there is so much uncertainty, find a quiet spot with a warm drink and ponder for a moment. Whether your lonely, too busy. struggling financially, in business or relationships, facing ill health or just wanting a new season; ask yourself the following questions:

• What if anything am I holding onto?

• Would I like to start by being interested in listening to stories from others?

• Is it possible that someone else’s life could be changed forever by the words I might write or say?

• How does that make me feel?

• If I have ever thought even once that I would like to ✍️ write; this week I’m going to write down on paper the first event or topic I would like to start on. Maybe just the first word!

• Should I write to Cate and the team for encouragement, to share my thought?

• Maybe I’ll book in a free call.

• PLEASE DO 😃 👏 ♥️

Thanks for reading, you matter to me and those yet to be in your story -

1. leave what was….

2. Discover what is …. And

3. unpackage what is to come ….
