This may or may not upset some people, but it's something I need to say - to put "out there"! I am always reading articles, on the internet and in papers etc, about bettering the environment and/or people's health, etc etc etc.....  While I am definitely all for this, it really does bother me that most things I read begin with, "Countless numbers of Americans ....", or "Stress in America ....", "??% of Americans ....".

The Thinking Man in my garden - where I like to do readings and attunements from! {© 2013 Caryl Haxworth}   Someone mentioned the word "industry" to me the other day, in relation to what I do.  It took me aback a bit, because I had never thought of what I do as being an industry.  In fact, "industry", makes me think about hard marketing, advertising and sales.  It makes me think about the push for more customers, clients, students etc,

I was going through some old clothes, clearing out my wardrobe the other day.  It was lovely finding some favourites from when I lived in other countries.  It also got me thinking about how we so easily fall into the practice of wearing things that "fit in" with our whereabouts.  I used to joke about wearing a particular "uniform" whenever we moved, because of the different customs and/or weather conditions of the places we have lived, but now I realise that

Those who know me well, know that I really enjoy cooking - especially baking.  On Boxing Day, last week, my sister-in-law introduced me to "Herman the German", a friendship cake that basically starts off as a sourdough starter mix, accompanied by instructions on how to look after it.  I took my sourdough mix home and happily followed the instructions which required stirring a few times, feeding a couple of times, stirring again, then splitting and baking. Yesterday, I

I see natural disasters as being the same as dis-ease in our bodies.  When our bodies are tired and stressed dis-ease occurs in the form of illness, colds, aches & pains etc.  Surely it's the same for Mother Earth!  Over time, the stress and strain that has been put upon this planet, by our human selves, must bring forth some kind of dis-ease within it.  Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, I believe, are Mother Nature's way of telling us that, "Enough is

  Lately, I have been prone to more aches, pains and colds that have felt quite severe at times.  I’ve even had small accidents and injuries.  The only way to deal with them has been to stop everything and pamper myself with a hot bath, sleep, or just a longer time to lie in bed in the morning.  I generally try to think of these occurrences as signs that I had been overdoing it and that my mind, body and spirit needed regenerating. While asking the angels for

Years ago my watch fell off my wrist at JFK Airport. I was horrified and dragged my poor 3 toddlers all over the airport looking for it.  Well, what was I going to do without my watch?  I needed it so I wouldn't be late to anything and possibly miss something important!  How could I possibly go on without knowing how long I had before I had to be somewhere else or how long before I arrived at my next destination etc... etc... etc... Wow!  I look back at those

Some of my happiest times are spent with family.  I have just come back from a lovely holiday in Les Gets (French Alps).  We stayed in a chalet run by Jim & Cat of Pure Mountain Holidays for a week of fresh air and relaxation. Our days were filled with walks, drives & picnics by lakes and on mountain tops.  A wonderful time spent together away from the day to day hustle & bustle of work, school etc. etc.... Some time ago, I wrote about living life

A picture too beautiful not to share.  It is a scene you will probably never get to see. This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point. You can also see the sun below the moon. An amazing photo that expresses so much and yet I cannot think of words.  I just feel it so much.  Enjoy!   When someone shares with you something of value, you have an obligation to share it with others.  (Chinese saying)    

A friend recently asked if I thought life was better to be lived by plan or as it comes.....  "I can/will not live life by a plan." This question certainly got me thinking about my life so far..... When my husband & I decided to get married nearly 22 years ago, our plan was to live in Australia and raise our future children there.  When our kids were just 5 yrs, 3 yrs & 18 months old, we were moved to the USA which we loved, so our plan changed and we decided
