An Adventure in Words

My life long love affair with reading started further back than I can remember. Belonging to the local library and adding to my collection (those to be read and re-read) as and when funds allowed was as natural as breathing. Then, just before a planned move to live and work overseas a couple of years ago, I gave them all away, keeping only the few that would accompany me on the journey. Just before I was due to leave, fate intervened and decided that South Africa would be my home for a while longer, albeit now fairly bookless. Fate, however, did not see fit to include the means to replenish my now severely depleted collection.

In the garden in February

Let the moon and Cheral Kennedy of Living Matter (www.livingmatter.co.za) guide you along the path to a beautiful garden.

Seasonally speaking

It is widely accepted that produce in season is both healthier and less expensive, something easily noticed by the fluctuating prices of my favourite vegetable, butternut, throughout the year. Yet fresh food is flown thousands of kilometers or grown under less than natural conditions to be available in supermarkets and stores all year round to feed not only bodies, but the increasing, and solely human, need for instant gratification.

Music for your soul

"Music should be part of each souls development" -so said Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet, almost 100 years ago.  Chris Tokalon is a man with a gift for soul/sound journey work. His new CD 'Wonderings' is a marvellous hour-long journey into the world of sound healing.  With the use of his amazing musical talent he gently transports you through a series of interwoven experience from earth and sea energy to ancestral visions, and includes journeying into the heart along the way.

Wellness - Coaching with Si Ekin

Do you want to be right, or do the right thing?

What on earth is going on? One of the questions I am often asked is, "Why, when I know what to do, how to do it, and what it would be like (great!) when I did it, do I not then do it?

What is it that makes smart, rational people not do what is important to them? When we say something is important to us and we don't do it, the reasons for not doing it must be more important than doing it.
