November 17 — Gratitude
Oh dear, it’s been a week since I’ve expressed, through writing, my gratitude. I have been grateful, at various times over the week, but I haven’t taken the time to sit and really get into that ‘place’ of gratitude. Feeling slightly overwhelmed with ‘life’ at the moment, so will now pause and take the time […]
November 17 — Annoying Comments
Many, many thank you’s to my web designer who has now installed a “spam” filter on my blog. I just went through and permanently deleted almost 150 spam comments.

Today, as I travel on this path of losing my animal companion, Maggie, I’m so grateful for: 1. My colleague and friend who gave me a beautiful key chain with a silver-coloured poodle on it — “silver” was Maggie’s official colour. A keepsake I will cherish! 2. My amazing client who brought Tara a wonderful […]

I’m finding the more challenging the day, I take the time to write my Gratitudes. There can be little doubt that taking this time to re-focus on the things I’m grateful for has a healing and re-energizing effect on me. Helps me draw on the inner and spiritual strengths I’m finding I need more and […]
