I will be playing a blessing song or two and telling a story at this event.

"Moolana Yakama" - Art in celebration of the living spirit, is a gathering of artists, Indigenous Elders and performers

ABC Open – Blogger of the week

This week i have been asked to be ABC blogger of the week. I shared my 'stroke of luck' story as I wanted to reach as many people with this as possible, in a hope that my journey can help others in their journey. 

I also want to say, that whilst i was in hospital, I could feel the love and prayers I was being sent, viscerally. This is a major reason that I made it through, Prayer and love is so real and I felt it protected me whilst I was healing. So if we know of anyone that is having a hard time, know that sending love and a healing can be a truely helpful thing. Blessings!
