It took a long time for me to learn to live in the moment. My mind was always full of things that needed to be done, guilt for things I had neglected and anxiety about being ‘good enough’.

Now, I cherish those moments and wish I had the ability to appreciate nature, watch a child playing or feel the sun on my face, much earlier in life.

My daughter collects crystals and has them dotted around the house, collected over many years. She believes in the energy they give out and loves the peaceful ambience they convey. I think there is so much beauty in natural sources instead of tacky ornaments and shiny furniture. To me a house becomes a home when it is filled with wood, plants, flowers and natural gemstones and crystals.
