Wealth in today's society is most often interpreted as how rich someone is, but what does being rich really mean?  Does having lots of money make you rich?  According to Wikipedia, "Wealth is the abundance of valuable resources or material possessions or the control of such assets.  An individual, community, region or country that possesses an abundance of such possessions or resources is known as wealthy."   Okay, so.... I guess that means that

In our busy lives we often find ourselves with many things on our plates.  It can get quite difficult to choose how to approach this plate, piled high with all the goodies we have chosen from the menu of life.  We tend to take on far more than we are capable of digesting.   To get through this we often try nibbling at a little of everything, so that we feel like we haven't missed out.  Unfortunately, at the end of the day we are left with a plate still piled high,

Sometimes, when you spend too much time trying to analyse "why", it can take up the time that you should be appreciating the "what is".   When you look at "what is" and find the good within it, you will find that life is full of wonderful lessons for each and every one of us.  There are blessings to be found in all situations and circumstances, if you choose to look for them .... sometimes you don't even have to look that hard .... just as

You may have heard this story about a butterfly.  I shared it many years ago, but am sharing it again as a reminder of how important it is to support someone while allowing the struggle.   The Butterfly "A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.  One day a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.  Then it seemed to stop making any progress.  It appeared as if

I feel very strongly about what I do.  When I get the occasional email or comment from someone being negative or derogatory it can be hurtful. Something I have learned though, is to take a deep breath and remember ....... ... People are scared of what they don't understand and can become negative because of that.   ... Hey, this person was obviously interested enough to read about me and what I do.  They were moved enough to say something about it.  They

This is one of those times of the year when I feel torn ....  .... the lead up to Valentine's Day!     I don't agree with the push from all manner of media to buy merchandise. .... I do however, have merchandise to sell.   I don't agree with the idea of having to buy something to express your love for someone. ... I do however, have items to buy, that express love.   I don't like companies constantly advertising

I always thought I was the type of person who could put everything aside for someone who asks for my help or time.  Recently I have discovered that being an empath and extremely sensitive to the needs of others, I can no longer function properly when I have put aside time for someone who hasn't been completely honest with me.  It takes me a very long time to recover and to feel myself again, which also means I am not able to function properly for others who need me.  I

I often receive enquiries from people with regards to their relationships.  The latest one was asking me to create a "lucky charm" that would make their ex-partner realise that they still love them. I share this, not for laughs, but to explain that too many people rely on things instead of real feelings of honesty and love for each other and/or for themselves. How many times have you bought yourself a present to make yourself feel better about something and then

Last month I read an article about a woman who drank 3 litres of water per day for 4 weeks and how much of a change it made to her life.  I realised how guilty I can be of not keeping myself fully hydrated during the day and thought I would give this a go for 4 weeks, to see if I notice any difference in myself. Whilst my own experience with this, wasn't quite as noticeable - or remarkable - as the woman in the article, I certainly did notice a vast difference in overall energy
