Am I the only one who reads the terms and conditions on websites before purchasing something? Maybe it’s because I have a website of my own, although I don’t think so.
When I purchase something online I always check the terms and conditions and the returns policy, just in case something doesn’t look like I expect, or doesn’t fit etc. If I want to buy something that is going to be worn, I want to know that I can return it if it

I've always tried to be as environmentally friendly as I can. I recycle just about everything. Every time I make something new with silver wire I save the leftover bits - even the tiny little pieces - to use at a later date as a single chain link, or to eventually send away to a company that melts the silver down for reuse.
I hadn't really thought about where that melted down silver ended up, so I was actually blown away when a little while ago I discovered that

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

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

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
