I had to stop doing the work I was doing, I lost people who were close to me in my life, simply because someone turned on us unexpectedly. The period afterwards became very difficult financially and emotionally. Everything seemed to have gone One day I found myself walking through London, living in a bedsit with £30 to spend for a whole month on food. I realised I had to make changes.

I knew the situation occurred for me to learn from and grow.

It dawned on me that by just changing my perspective I could turn things around. I still had everything I needed to build a beautiful life for myself. My friends and children loved me, surely I couldn’t let all that be ruined by one person, by an outer reality? I started looking at all the positive things in my life, experiencing the beauty of a single flower or a smile, the sun rising. When life slows you down that much you have the time and ability to discover what’s really important. I realised that everything which is important in life was still there. Gratitude, love, compassion, people, nature. Happiness doesn’t come from your circumstances. The right circumstances are created from happiness. Love is exactly the same.

Now you don’t have to go so deep but we can all tune into the abundance and love which is all around to live in prosperity and happiness.
