Possessions do not make a home

wom-possessions-v3

Home is where you go to recharge your batteries.  Create a calm home and then all who live in or visit your home will feel refreshed from spending time there.

Love and compassion make a home welcoming.  Focus your attention on these things rather than collecting and managing ‘stuff’.  A happy, calm home will be far more rewarding than a house full of possessions

Dedicated to my mother and the wonderful two little boys in our family who represent the next generation arriving.

Human potential: where is it taking us?

The poppy is a picture of human potential.  It is a delicate and beautiful flower that freely grows wild in our countryside.  Yet it is also a symbol of World War I and the fear, destruction and death that came with war.  An object of beauty and potential, a poppy can give remedies and relief for the chronic pain associated with diseases like arthritis.  Yet when abused fuels the heroine drug trade which plagues parts of our society.
