Well it's been another crazy week. For some reason none of us have slept well. It's not only the weather that's changing. Change always brings up attachments that try to stop us moving on. Case in point ~ although it's terribly convenient for me to live over the Shop, I've long wanted to move out so I can have an actual life. A big obstacle has been my attachment to all the stuff I've accumulated living here. Last night I had a massive insight. Just leave it all ! ( OK not the crystals ! ) That's what I did when I left UK to arrive here in Australia with just one hold-all.
So now I feel the...
Wow, here I am back in Bangkok. It was a great holiday ~ like a health farm in terms of working out and healthy food, but also a happy farm with evenings out and some lovely cocktails :-) But now it's work time. That holiday mode has been neatly amputated. I love that old saying ~ Wherever you go, there you are. I'd add to that ~ wherever you go, you're there forever ! So it is that now I'm back in Bangkok it's as though I never left, and it will be the same when I get back to Melbourne. Living in the moment.
Yesterday was a very long moment. A full day buying before the Show, we bought pre...
Wahay ! I'm writing these words from Sunny Thailand ~ Just Like Melbourne it's gone from baking hot to raining and cloudy the last few days :-) I've had a perfect week just gym, swim, nap, eat well, bed early . . . . with a few relaxing drinks :-) It took me a long time to appreciate the true value of a Holiday. Holy day. Time to become more whole and reconnect with the self you are outside the boundaries of normal life.
Anyway, thanks to our wonderful team at the Heart I can now enjoy this stress free. Thanks, guys. I really appreciate you.
But of course the website runs 24/7 & my ne...
Hi Everyone, and hoping you're all finding your feet in this New Year. After 3 frantic months of running around and uploading I'll be glad to take the weight off mine a little bit !
But there's still some nice pieces trickling through. Recently I uploaded some lovely Star Rubies with really nice rich red colour rather than the more anaemic ones you usually see. I remember very clearly my pleasure at finding them on a buying trip in India ...... over ten years ago ! In all that time they've been sitting in my tin box of stones to set. Many times I'd admired them and deciding to do something,...
As you’ve probably noticed, all the new Moonstone has now been uploaded - after two days intense work with camera, caliper, notepad and uploads ! It can't be done more quickly because each piece is unique and so often I'm drawn into writing a few personal words about it.
One thing I noticed this time is that a lot of the new Moonstone has clearly defined strata - light blues, indigo and gold. I see these as pathways through emotional situations. Moonstone is of course a wonderful stone for expanding your emotional intelligence – but still we can get caught up in difficult situations and I f...
A week after my Flower of Life AHA ! Moment . . . . .
There's so much written about the Flower of Life but really it's just something to meditate on and find your own answers. What follows is my own experience.
Well this is extraordinary. Just spent a day in the shop and office and the same peaceful calm has stayed with me all day. Contemplating this wonderful effect, I think I'm getting a handle on it. It seems that all the many compartments in my brain have been harmoniously organised and connected. Rather than being conflicting demands stressing me out like a bunch of demanding children...
