A new start

By Nicole Barnard

A new year, a new start, a new you

A change of heart

Find a new rhythm, simplify your life, declutter your mind

Realise what matters: being patient and kind

And prioritising relationships – with your Father, yourself, those you love

and those you long to know better

Replace hurry, impatience, introspection, and anxiety

With peace, joy, calm, patience and simplicity

There’s never enough time!

You have all the time in the world. Just be.

Be present to the moment and its joy

Rediscover the quiet beauty of God’s creation, precious quiet moments

Just breathe

Downsize your to do list, nurture relationships

Just stop, listen. Know his presence and peace

A new year, a new start

Full of hope, growth and life in all its fullness
