    I am a Big fan of Julia Sawahla. Especially her Soul. I am half French (Normandy), half South African. And when I studied in London, a few english students told me how much I looked like her, but I did not know her at the Time.
    I discovered her talent, her wittiness, and deep Soul later.
    Thank you for your Channel, it is Beautiful. Art for the Soul, Art from the Soul...m'y favorites.

    Words are not easy at the moment, just lost my mum and this short video is wonderful, maybe my time to find these words. Feels like a friend has reached out and said “look after yourself “. Thank you, my spirit is a little strengthened ☺️.

    What great poem is Desiderata to read , a great choice… advising and really positive, seeing the true positive value in all people, and opportunities and life rich in challenges and difficulties but still because of its value very very much worthwhile. And you read it in such tender way…. thank you.

    You ARE a Child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars, You have a Right to be Here, Now. And whether or not it is clear to you, No Doubt The Universe is Unfolding as it Should. Even if we don't understand what's happening, two things you should always be thankful for, what little you have, and the great many things you don't.

    This is very beautiful and almost meditative. I feel like I could listen to it to get to sleep. So much wisdom and a lesson to look for the beauty in unexpected places, don’t let the world get you down, gravitate towards love and good intentions and appreciate that you are alive and for a short time get to experience this beautiful world. Love the silence of the busy city contrasted with the soothing voice, and the cinematography is perfect... the nature imagery too. I now want to lay in a swing and look up at the sky. Why do we lose touch of what’s important in life and get swept away by its fast pace? We need to take a time out to be mindful. Merry Christmas everyone and thank you so much for posting this 💛
