I spent yesterday evening at Stormont Buildings listening to my talented friends playing in Belfast Pops Orchestra.
In this beautiful venue, I set down the challenges of the last few months & allowed myself to become immersed in this beautiful piece of music from the evening's programme - the love theme from Cinema Paradiso.
Soothing for the restless mind, space to breathe & just be, medicine for the soul...and a gentle reminder that listening to & performing these orchestral pieces have been a huge part of my life since I was 7 years old.
2026 has brought challenges for many of us but there is always something beautiful to be grateful for. Sometimes we have to look deep but often, giving ourselves permission to pause long enough & be fully present in a moment, allows us to see the c***k of light which propels us onward.
Wishing you a peaceful week ahead Denise x
