Today I walked to my local shops to collect a few things – I placed them in my backpack and started the journey home. The ‘pack on my back’ was quite heavy, and when I returned home and unloaded my shopping I felt lighter and relieved! Isn’t life sometimes like that. We start our day […]

Have you stopped to count your blessings today? The past few days have been filled with so many events – some of them ecstatic and some of them extremely challenging. Life can change in an instant. I am grateful for all of my experiences. Each one presents me with an opportunity to learn, and grow […]

I love creating my breakfast smoothie each morning. I have a small ‘rocket’ blender and it is amazing! I start off with a brew of Pau D’Arco herbal tea – warm – that is my base. (You can use any of your favourite herbal teas as a base) I then add some berries. Usually some […]

I’ve just been to a fantastic free pickling and preserving evening at my local community centre.

Today is Earth Day 2012. Being in natural surroundings always connects me to the earth. I celebrated in a few ways. First of all I visited my local community garden and meditated there on the blessings that Mother Earth offers me every moment. The garden shows me the bounty that the earth produces and it […]

I love making healthy, delicious soups. Especially when it is pouring with rain outside and I am relaxing in my peaceful haven. Tonight I made my favourite. Vegetable soup with brown rice and red lentils. So yummy!!! I start off with a little organic cold pressed olive oil in the saucepan and then I add […]

When life is in the fast lane and sometimes a little uncertain, I like to remind myself about ‘grateful moments’. It is amazing what a difference it can make in your day when you start to be grateful for what is happening in the moment. Even in what seem like difficult moments, you can be […]
