At the halfway point of this year's competition, it is my pleasure to feature this wonderful travel highlight from Brigid Gallagher.
Amritha
The temple guide placed two small medals featuring Sai Baba and Shirdi Sai, in the palms of my hand, before an amber liquid began to fill them from NOWHERE!
"Please drink," he urged.
I felt the taste of heavenly flowers tantalize my tongue, before my palms filled yet again with the delicious nectar.
"The liquid is known as Amritha," he continued.
I drank once more, as the wonder was repeated for a third and final time, then I handed him back the miracle producing medals.
"You enjoyed?
"It tasted divine," I replied.
I left the temple feeling incredibly blessed.

Brigid P. Gallagher aspired to becoming a doctor, but God had other plans!
In 1986, she embarked on a series of studies to become one of the first natural medicine practitioners in Scotland. She eventually became a tutor for a number of community projects, a women’s prison, and the Open Studies and Summer Schools of Stirling University from 1993 to 1999.
In 1999, she relocated to Donegal, Ireland – the home of her ancestors. Four years later she succumbed to a mystery illness which was eventually diagnosed as fibromyalgia.
Stopping the World forced Brigid to reassess her life, and creative writing became a significant part of her healing process.
She retrained in organic horticulture and taught this subject in schools until 2016.
