Since my last article many of the goals for the improvements of our home which we listed on the 31st December have been taking shape. In the past week I have been very busy painting my daughter’s bedroom. She chose a lime wash orange called “Gelati”, it is a deep vibrant colour and with the effect of a suede finish, which gives a soft feel. I have chosen white trims and with chocolate brown accessories and a new white bedspread we are both very happy with the finish. I have found a paint shop called Porters Paints in Alexandria and the service and quality of the paints are second to none – in my opinion. www.porterspaints.com.au.
Transforming our two courtyards is one of our priorities. Creating tranquil places for the entertainment of friends, sitting reading or just relaxing. We have had a quote to remove the large pine trees that are damaging the walls and for the laying of natural pavers and large pots with camellias and a beautiful water fountain. We are very much looking forward to many wonderful summers in our new environment.
I have a gentlemen coming to quote on painting the outside of our home and have had measurements taken to install new shutter blinds in our bedroom.
I have also been given a book “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle and I read his book called “A New Earth” last year, which I found an amazing thought provoking read and would recommend them to you. Eckhart is coming to Australia in March and this weekend I bought a ticket to see him in Sydney on 7th March. You can visit the website www.hayhouse.com.au for more info.
This month also saw two friends visit me on a professional level for Reiki/Seichem healings. It went very well and both gave great feedback on their experiences. I have distributed several of my brochures to people and they have been impressed with the quality, which has been very nice. I have also given to my first paying clients flower boxes which were designed in conjunction with Dorothy Kelly of Agenia’s Craft – International Pressed Flower Artist.
Dorothy has been creating flower pictures for the past 20 years and has worked with flowers all her life. She has won awards in Japan - Nagano Olympic Festival 1997 and instructed at workshops in Japan and Australia. Won 1st prize and a special prize in 2005 at the Melbourne Show and received a 3rd place in her class at the Philadelphia competition in 2008.
I have returned to Meditation classes at The Crown Chakra www.thecrownchakra.com.au on a Tuesday night from 6.30 – 8 pm. The cost is $22 and it is a wonderful way to have guided meditations giving you a feeling of centeredness and joy. Meditation can be done in many forms from sitting in a park looking at the beauty of nature, a walk, sitting by the ocean or whatever it is for you that enables you to be “ in the moment”.
