sometimes
life can get you down
you can feel so small that you wonder if anyone knows you’re here
you might even wonder if anyone cares
life’s burdens may weigh upon you
until you wonder how you’ll ever take another step
until you wonder if you’re cut out for this
until you doubt you’ll ever be the same
until you doubt you can ever know love, or joy or happiness again
the pain of life can overwhelm you
but understand something…
you’re not alone
although sometimes it might feel like yours is the only voice
out there in the universe – close to home, or further away
there’s someone praying for you
there’s someone who cares
there’s someone holding that space of love and light and hope
there’s someone imbuing you with strength
we are surrounded by unseen forces
angels and guides watch over us
love transcends all boundaries
there are people we’ll never meet who wish us only good
there are hearts whose only thought
is that you be uplifted, that you know love, that you know peace
today perhaps it’s your turn to hurt
everything has its season
tomorrow might be your turn to hold that intention of love and safety for another
we are, each of us, in this together
and together we find a way, for ourselves, for each other
today, know that I am here for you
holding that space
wishing you well
bless ♥ xx
I don’t know what to say.
Just broke down reading this, but then I’ve been crying mostly for last few days now.
If you knew me, maybe you wouldn’t have sent it, because I don’t deserve it.
I don’t want to die, but I don’t feel deserving of life anymore.
Am so crushed, have fcked up help from someone I really admire, respect and adore.
I don’t think she’ll mind if I do this.
I’m sorry, but thank you.
Everyone makes mistakes. That’s called life. And everyone is deserving of it. Everyone!
When life has been hard for me, so hard that I no longer know how to go on, I have found my salvation in helping others. Being an ear for them so they feel heard, watering flowers that are drooping in the heat, feeding birds in the park. The smallest kindness can be a lifeline for another. Everyone needs somebody, and somebody needs you!
Sending you love and strength and light,
Nicole xx
Thank you, Nicole for your beautiful post and thanks to all, we are one. Bless you <3 🙂
Its like you have your finger, soul, heart on our pulse… and know exactly what we need, and your magical blog appears 🙂
I too have felt the sting of loneliness this week, and I think the fog is now lifting. I had a profound thought this morning about why I always feel bad when I think bad things about myself, or I let someone make me angry… I am really only hurting myself… and I vow to start to be kinder to myself, more loving to myself, nurture myself … really rally for me! And when that thought came to me, an amazing light feeling followed, and the clouds definitely parted, and the sun came out.
Thank you for always being there for us Nicole. Sending you a great big squeeze through the internets <3.
This was so heart wrenching Nicole. Been feeling as though I’m in a deep blackout for weeks now, praying I could just talk to you because you’re the only one who would understand. Thank you for your post. I’m not sure if I ca find my way out yet but to know you’re holding a light. Thank you and blessings. <3 ❤
Thank you xx

Hugs! Hugs! Hugs! to you for such a beautiful post!! <3 YOU!!!
{{{HUGS}}} right back to you, Linnae xx
<3 Just wanted to let you know that I featured this post on my Sunday Link Love!!
http://ournourishingjourney.com/2012/05/21/link-love-3/
Thanks very much Linnae ♥ xx
I really needed to hear this. Thank you.
Any time, Dienna. Love you! xoxo
Uplifting and reassuring, thank you Nicole. By the way, what’s the difference between an angel and a guide? I had never heard of guides until I started reading your blog.
Angels are well, angels… most have never had an earthly incarnation, although they work with us earthly souls. Guides are souls who may have had many incarnations, and are at a point in their own journey where they are no longer in physical form, and where they use their accumulated love, wisdom and experience to guide us – much like a big kid at school would help a junior kid who was just starting out. We all have angels and guides, even though most people aren’t aware of them. One of my guides, Rollo, told my sister and I long ago, when I first began to channel, that one day we would discover him in our family tree, and just recently we did! I hope that one day I will graduate to becoming a guide too…
Oh, and please let’s not forget fairies, who are like angels except that they look after animals and plants and places, rather than people! ♥ xx
Thank you for explaining. Why is it that we don’t know our guides are there? Can we get in touch with them if we want to? How many do we have? How do you speak to Rollo? Do you actually audibly hear him, or is it like a voice in your head? Lots of questions but it’s all new to me.
Thanks for your explanation, I didn’t know that about fairies, I thought they looked after people too!
I love that fairies look after the earth things! Don’t you? Bless xx
What an amazing post. It was a perfect reminder at the perfect time. I love the song and felt the sadness in the words. Thank you.
Thank you! Big hugs and love to you Brenda, and thanks for all you do to uplift others in this world ♥♥♥ xx
This really made me smile. Thank you!
Smiling is good 😀 xx
Hugs are better! And hey, I may well be able to give you a proper real hug in March next year… fingers crossed for a New York visit about then. I’ll keep you posted.
Oh my gosh!!!!!! That sounds so exciting!!!!! Keep me updated!

You and your family are in my thoughts, prayers and meditations every day. Bless xx
I feel exactly the same sentiments as Crowing Crone Joss has expressed. Thank you Nicole. You are a beautiful soul. xoxo
{{{HUGS}}} So are you! xx
thank you for expressing this so beautifully. I am thankful for those times when someone held that space for me. I am thankful for the times I am able to be the holder of space for someone.
Thanks Joss. I love what you wrote – I remember being so ill and down that I doubted if I could ever be in a place to hold that positive space for someone else. It’s amazing how life can turn around. Much love to you, and blessings for all the marvellous work you do xoxo
and blessings to you as well!
Oh Nicole, I had a very bad morning. Your post came just at the right time for me. Thank you so much. It touched my heart. You are an angel.
Love, Mary
Oh Nic😂 I am so grateful and blessed to have you in my life… The timing is so right… For that post as usual. After everything you have taught me over the past ten years you would think I would know by now.. (slow to learn) Love to you… as my kids would say infinity and beyond… I just want you to know I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for u… Xxxxx
Brooke, you brought tears to my eyes! I have always had so much faith in you and your abilities, and it has been my pleasure to hold that space for you until you began to believe in it for yourself. ♥♥♥ xx
Mary, I’m sending all my love and healing energies to you, and shall continue to do so. Know that there’s a little candle burning brightly here for you and shining love out into the world xx
Thank you for the warmth and the healing words. They mean so much to me. You are a beautiful soul.
{{{HUGS}}} Much love to you, Mary xx
