There are times in life when the Universe knows best. While I was in Scotland in March, I heard about an open day at Indigo Silk in Haddington, just outside Edinburgh. I borrowed my mother's car and set off on my holistic day out. However, it soon became apparent that I had no idea how to get there.

Well, I thought I did... which was why I never printed out the directions. And I got very confused and very lost. So much so that I almost gave up ...but something kept me hanging on in there despite my embarrassment at having to phone the venue twice to admit that I still couldn’t find them. Even more embarrassing was that I asked directions in Haddington and it all sounded so easy. In one ear and out the other because another half hour later I found myself back in the town centre and lo and behold when I wound down the window to ask more directions, it was only the same couple that had given me directions earlier! But long story short... I eventually made it!

And what a fabulous venue it was too! Run by Jilly Greig, there was a wonderful variety of therapists and readers to experience, cake stands full of delicious fairy cakes and crystals galore to chose from. While I was waiting my turn for a numerology reading (I’m a 22 by the way!) my attention was drawn to the presence of a lady with piercing blue eyes.

And that was how the Universe brought me and Gail Bryden together. We really didn’t even spend that long chatting, but the connection was instant. Gail’s life coaching skills even homed in on the challenges I was, and still am, facing but in those moments together, everything became manageable again. It really was quite amazing.

Her gift is in seeing the real you and her desire is to help you discover Your True Nature and to fulfil Your True Potential. She has also created her own range of Just Be massage and aromatherapy oils and runs retreats to Bordeaux in France. And we are delighted that Gail is joining our Universal Family!

Next week Gail will be sharing the very personal story of her own spiritual awakening. Her experience is a story of inspiration and courage in following your heart and not your head. It is during challenging times like these that we need people like Gail to help keep us on the path.
