A Wonderful Poem - LockDown

Coronavirus, a virus that cannot be detected by our naked eye yet so lethal that it took the lives of many. It is an uncertain time for everyone, with all of us taking things a day at a time.

We as fellow human beings must stay strong and constantly reminding of ourselves to maintain high level of personal hygiene as well as our surroundings. There is a saying that tough times never last, but tough people do! Stay Positive! Stay Hygiene!

Here we share a very nice poem written by a Priest in Ireland.

Brother Richard, of the Capuchin Franciscans

Lockdown

Yes there is fear. Yes there is isolation. Yes there is panic buying. Yes there is sickness. Yes there is even death. But, They say that in Wuhan after so many years of noise You can hear the birds again. They say that after just a few weeks of quiet The sky is no longer thick with fumes But blue and grey and clear. They say that in the streets of Assisi People are singing to each other across the empty squares, keeping their windows open so that those who are alone may hear the sounds of family around them. They say that a hotel in the West of Ireland Is offering free meals and delivery to the housebound. Today a young woman I know is busy spreading fliers with her number through the neighbourhood So that the elders may have someone to call on. Today Churches, Synagogues, Mosques and Temples are preparing to welcome and shelter the homeless, the sick, the weary All over the world people are slowing down and reflecting All over the world people are looking at their neighbours in a new way All over the world people are waking up to a new reality To how big we really are. To how little control we really have. To what really matters. To Love. So we pray and we remember that Yes there is fear. But there does not have to be hate. Yes there is isolation. But there does not have to be loneliness. Yes there is panic buying. But there does not have to be meanness. Yes there is sickness. But there does not have to be disease of the soul Yes there is even death. But there can always be a rebirth of love. Wake to the choices you make as to how to live now. Today, breathe. Listen, behind the factory noises of your panic The birds are singing again The sky is clearing, Spring is coming, And we are always encompassed by Love. Open the windows of your soul And though you may not be able to touch across the empty square, Sing.

“Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.” ― Anne Frank

That hope in us is like the candle mentioned by Anne Frank. We will get through this together.

Happy International Women's Day

In the year 2020, the world has witnessed a significant change and attitudinal shift in both women's and society's perspective about women's rights and equality. It has definitely came a long way since its movement started back in 1900's.

We are thankful to all our therapists that gave us their trust to allow Lavender Spa & Wellness to continue serving clients for the past 15 years.

At Lavender Spa & Wellness, we have always uphold our values in terms of providing training and job security for women in Sarawak who have strong interest in the spa and wellness industry. It is our ultimate joy to be able to help Sarawakian women to achieve a skillset and earn a descent living independently. And with our core values, we will continue to our journey in helping more and more women of Sarawak in the days to come.

A Sarawak Hero and an inspiring Sarawakian Woman.
