What does "Being Strong" mean to you? I've always been thought of as being a strong person.  People tell me, "you're such a strong woman"!  I often hear, "I wish I was as strong as you." Sometimes I think that strength is mistakenly seen as knowing what you want and doing what you need to get it, or telling someone that the service you've received wasn't what it should have been.  These things aren't strength, they are

I've been very busy lately, creating a new range of jewellery!  I'm always creating something new .... usually this is when I'm drawn to the healing properties of a particular gemstone, and I end up making a few different styles of bracelets, earrings, necklaces and pendants with the same type of crystal. This time I wanted a product that would range across more than one gemstone type.  This led me to think of Birthstone Necklaces.  There are 12 different birth

If you are one of my newsletter subscribers you will see that I made a mistake last night.  I've been trying to set up some extra little admin type things to the running of my website and sent myself a test email to see if something worked, except instead of sending the email to myself, I made the mistake of sending it to everyone on my newsletter list! OOPS!!   Having realised this mistake, my first thought was - - - actually, I won't say what my first thought

Over the years, I've collected a LOT of different oracle card decks.  I have tried them all at one time or another.  Some I've used maybe once or twice, some more often.  I have come to realise however that there are many I haven't touched in a VERY long time. Since reorganising the shelves in my home office, I came to the decision that I would rather give the cards I haven't used to someone who would like them, rather than having them take up space on the

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

One of the questions I'm often asked is, "Can you suggest some stones/crystals we can place around the house?"   Our homes are our sanctuaries.  We want them to be a place where we can relax, feel safe, and be ourselves.  One way of enhancing those protective, nurturing and loving vibes is to place crystals around the home. Here are some suggestions:   Amethyst Amethyst relieves stress and strain, thereby encouraging a relaxing

With all that is going on in the world right now, it's no wonder I'm being asked for advice about gemstones to keep you safe from disease. Please understand one thing though, the most important thing you can do to keep yourself safe from any disease is to stay away from it.  Stay away from anyone who has it and stay away from anyone who is vulnerable just in case you are carrying it yourself. I know there are many people who are carers and keyworkers at this time.  These

I have been really drawn to hearts lately ...   ... in particularly, gemstone and crystal hearts ....  ... gemstone and crystal heart jewellery to be exact!   Maybe it's because I feel that more love needs to be shared in these troublesome times, or maybe it's because I feel the need for a little more self-love.  Either way, I've been busily creating and have added a Heart Jewellery range to the website.   Here are a few
