I've mentioned how I keep hearing phrases and posts that resonate with me. This week I started to notice things which do not resonate with me and I thought about how we each have such individual lives and needs and how easy it is to get misdirected in our goals if we latch onto other …
Last weekend I was so grateful for some sunshine! After a solid week of rain and cold I was getting a bit of cabin fever. I spent all of last Saturday and Sunday sitting in the garden watching my birds and pondering life. I had such a deep feeling of contentment and happiness and I …
Last Saturday I said goodbye to my friend Geri who is moving back to the UK. I adore Geri, she is such a kind and giving person with an amazing heart. I first connected with Geri when I saw a notice of a course she was conducting and I reached out to say I was …
