HAPPY FRIDAY

Reflection of a mausoleum in water, Taj Mahal, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India




The High Heeled Guide to Enlightenment by Alice Grist a fabulous read. This book brings an understanding of alternative spirituality to a new audience. It is spirituality for the sexy socialite, enlightenment for the lip gloss dependent and a crash course in serenity for the yummy mummy! Veering between the wildly faddish and fashionable to the freakier and less familiar. The High Heeled Guide sheds a pink and intelligent spotlight upon a diverse collection of spiritual options that well suit the modern woman. An intriguing, informative and hilarious read for any woman who knows deep in her worn down sole that there is more to life than cars, career, kids and cocktails.

Rose Quartz - this stone is linked to the hart chakra and as such works with all matters relating to love and healing of the heart. Rose Quartz replaces negative energies with love and releases emotions and pain. It will enhance unconditional love and harmony in relationships while working to heal past wounds.

It is said to strengthen the heart, chest and lungs by working with the heart and thymus gland. Rose Quartz strengthens the immune system and releases impurities from the body. It works with strengthening the kidneys and adrenals, enhances fertility and is helpful for disease of the mind. It is also good for burns and the complexion.

New book arrived last night from Kalahari.net

Some instructions on writing and life - Anne Lamott

Thought I should start educating myself about writing BEFORE I start my book. I have a habit of diving into things without reading instructions. So, this time I am doing it right.

Wisdom Card Reading

I am a harmonious being. I am in harmony with all of the people, places, and things that surround me in this world. I am at peace.

Eat berries, drink vino and dance 'dervishly'...

Peace 'n whirlpools of luv
