I took this photo of my yoga mat this morning because I thought the footprints looked pretty cool, but on looking at it again I noticed something strange.
Can you see what I mean?
The footprints look raised, as if I turned the mat upside down.
I think this is a great reminder of perspective. We may look at something one way, but there is always another point of view.
Always remember to look at things from all angles - there are

I've been thinking about how much I accept about myself nowadays and remembered the time that I finally learnt that my height - or rather the lack of it - used to cause me quite a bit of anguish.
A few years ago, I was given this lesson in self-acceptance. I had thought I was fully there, but a high-heeled gold sandal was to show me more.....
I had a family wedding to go to and for weeks beforehand, I had narrowed my outfit choices to two dresses. I knew exactly which

It was my birthday last week and and I was reminded of something that happened around my birthday a few years ago.
My family had been asking what I wanted for a present. While I do generally love a nicely thought out gift, I really couldn't think of anything I wanted that could be purchased. What I really wanted was "Time" to go away on a couple of meditation-type retreats, or something similar. I'm perfectly happy to pay for these things myself,

You may know, my homeland is Australia. You will probably know that, right now, it is burning.
My heart is breaking and I need to do something to help, so ..... during this month, I am donating Charms Of Light profits to fire services and animal welfare organisations in Australia.
Please join me in praying for Australia.
The beautiful artwork is by MelanippeArt.
If you also feel called to help out, here are some links to some of the associations

Towards the end of last year, I realised that social media was becoming an awful place to be. I was seeing so many upsetting posts that I felt pulled into a bit of a downward spiral and started sharing things that angered and/or upset me too. Sharing these things pulled me down even further and also had a negative impact on others.
This year I have made a decision to only share and post about positive things. It's so important, not just for ourselves, but for others

As 2019 draws to a close I would like to thank you for your continued support throughout the year. Yet again, it's been another year full of up and downs, with trials to test our patience to the limits. Instead of focusing on all that's upset and angered us, or that's been difficult this year, let's look to the future with hope and love for change and better things to come.
Please join with me in seeing the good in the world and to showing love and compassion

When we can see the good things within our lives and be grateful for them instead of looking at the things that may cause us sorrow or pain, it causes an immediate attraction to more of the good. We find more things that bring us joy and more reasons to be grateful.
When all that we see are things that we don't like - that cause us pain or sorrow - the attraction is still there and we will bring more of the same to us.
To be grateful ALL ways, is to bring

Throughout my childhood, I was different to most others. There were people who belonged in the "cool" groups, the "clever" groups, the "popular" groups, the "tough" groups etc, but I didn't fit into any of these categories. I was simply just me and was never comfortable with labels anyway.
As an adult, I'm still just me. However, people still want to put a label around my neck and fit me neatly into a box of some kind.

Usually at around this time of the year, I take time off to spend some relaxing time with my family. However, although I have added a photo of an idyllic tropical resting place, my time off will be anything but relaxing! This year, my daughter's graduation is taking place just one week before my eldest son's wedding, and in the meantime I am rehearsing for a little opera performance which is happening in between these two wonderful celebrations! Busy and exciting
