Find Your ‘Ness’

I am blessed to be surrounded by birdsong almost all the time. It wakes me up in the morning, keeps me company throughout the day and reminds me it’s time to stop in the evening! Of course, the birds are just doing what comes naturally and have no idea that they play such an important…

Guidance
