Chasing butterflies 🦋
A beautifully written book. I thoroughly enjoyed every section of this book and loved snuggling up in bed with it and a cup of tea in the morning. But my absolutely favourite take away from this little pearl is the chapter Chasing Butterflies 🦋 I won't ruin it for you but purchasing this book is worth it for this chapter alone. Absolutely magical.

Ellen Edmondson's A Place of Love and Light is a journey into the depths of spirituality and its practical implications in daily life. Through her meticulously crafted chapters, Edmondson not only invites readers on a path toward personal enlightenment and universal love but also offers a transformative experience. This book is more than a read; it is a catalyst for a deeper connection with the divine and with oneself, inspiring hope and optimism.
Edmondson's writing style, a blend of clarity and deep compassion, makes complex spiritual concepts accessible and engaging. Her use of vivid metaphors and personal anecdotes enriches the narrative, demonstrating the practical application of her teachings in everyday life. Particularly compelling are her discussions on the "GOD Spark" and "God's Presence," which not only provoke thought but also instill a sense of empowerment and optimism about the human capacity for goodness and change.
The book’s content is enriching. Each chapter serves as a standalone meditation on aspects of spirituality, which some may appreciate as it allows for non-linear reading tailored to personal spiritual needs. The chapter on Self Mastery was particularly impactful to me as it dives deep into the essential practices of self-reflection and self-improvement, encouraging readers to cultivate virtues that enhance personal growth and societal contribution. One standout example from the book discusses the significance of "Be Still," where Edmondson eloquently describes how moments of stillness are not just pauses but opportunities to connect deeply with the divine and listen to the subtle guidance of our inner selves.
A Place of Love and Light is a heartfelt guide to spiritual living that resonates with warmth and wisdom. It's particularly recommended for those at the beginning of their spiritual journey or anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of a life led by love and light. The book acts as a gentle reminder of the divine within and around us, making it a valuable addition to any spiritual seeker's library.

After years of meditation and study, Ellen Edmondson wrote A Place of Love and Light to share her gifts. In over 150 devotionals, the author conveys the sense of unconditional love, truth, faith, spirituality, purpose, and becoming an agent of spiritual change. While encouraging meditation and contemplation, Edmondson offers urgings that remind readers of their purpose so they can refine their spiritual focus. After each section, she attempts to motivate readers with a step that will enable them to connect with a personal and divine exploration. Edmondson provides a free journal readers may download and fill with notes from the text as they read and reflect upon the words.
Readers can see Ellen Edmondson's inspiring gifts throughout her book, and everyone should review her testimony before diving into the pages. After absorbing her letter to her readers, I felt a stronger connection to the author, and Edmondson's writings carried more weight with me. Even though I do not possess her gift, I see the need for her work to be shared with others, hopefully uplifting them and healing some of the unnecessary burdens they carry. The pieces communicate a calming joy that motivates readers to embrace the feeling, and the pictures in the book transfer serenity as the author channels peace with every section of the book. I encourage you to read every page, as a lovely contribution from Edmondson's late mother appears at the end, and she beautifully details a touching story about her daughter. A Place of Love and Light is a great selection for readers who are ready to receive spiritual wisdom to guide the next phase of their journey.

A Place of Love & Light: A Journey Back to Compassion, Authenticity, and Making a Positive Contribution to the World by Ellen Edmondson is a profoundly insightful book that resonates with anyone seeking to inject more kindness and compassion into the world.
Firstly, a huge thank you to the author, Ellen Edmondson, and Goodreads for the privilege of winning a digital copy of this touching work. The book offers many beautiful and thoughtful insights on how we can be of service to those around us, both in small, everyday ways and through larger gestures.
As I read, I found myself reflecting deeply on the various ways compassion can manifest in our daily lives. Edmondson doesn’t just encourage us to act with kindness—she asks us to delve deeper into our motivations and the impact of our actions. The book poses essential questions that challenge us to consider how we can live more authentically and contribute positively to the world around us. This introspective approach adds another layer of depth to the reading experience, making it not just a guide but a catalyst for personal growth.
The book is particularly valuable for those working on social skills, relational skills, coping skills, healing and growth, self-improvement, self-care, and other such topics. However, the spiritual nature of the calls to action makes it accessible and relevant to virtually anyone.
Overall, I believe A Place of Love & Light is a wonderful guide for anyone on a journey towards greater compassion and authenticity. It is a book that I would highly recommend to those looking to make a positive contribution to the world, one kind act at a time.
