“Smile, going back to a moment when you felt truly happy and content. Bring that feeling up into your whole body and then use this same smile to smile at yourself. You can choose an area that is giving you trouble: is it your digestion, your back or your shoulder? It could be used step [...]

These lovely thoughts are written by the sister-in-law of a friend… “I often think that the people we have loved, And those who have loved us, Not only make us more human, But also become part of us. We carry them around all the time Whether we see them or not. In the same way, [...]

One of my favourite online writers is Chris Guillebeau, whose blog is the Art Of Non Conformity. I’ve just read his recent article “A short collection of unconventional ideas“, which I found inspiring! Far too many of us have, over the years, done things just because we’ve learned that we “should” do them : have [...]

Many of you will know the Serenity Prayer… but here’s a different version of it that made me laugh! THE SENILITY PRAYER : Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,

I saw this video (perhaps a little bit cheesy!) and really loved the gentleness of it – it brought a smile to my face! Enjoy it too… Gabriel & Stanley – “fighting” like cat & dog!

In his book, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, A Toltec Wisdom Book, Don Miguel Ruiz wrote: “Humans are dreaming all the time. Before we were born the humans before us created a big outside dream that we will call society’s dream or the dream of the planet. The dream of the [...]

At the start of this year, I saw “The Secret” for the first time (very good), and then saw this video as a sort of “add on” – and I wanted to share the lovely message with you all! Love and light Tracey

One of my Twitter followers (can’t remember who – I apologise!) had a link to this old blog post by John Reese, a respected internet marketer.(It is really old in Internet terms – late 2006!) As someone who does a bit of internet marketing myself, I thought I’d read it… to discover that this particular [...]

I know that the global economy is in a rickety state – but how on earth does it help anyone to show hour after hour, day after day, week after week of negative news that cannot make a difference in anyone’s world? (Unless it’s to make them even more fearful than they already are!)

The following extract from an earlier email was sent in an email I got today – I just loved the irony of it!

I came across this organisation last year, and found their ideas really appealing. If we work at reducing the amount that we complain, how much better will our own world be? I sent off for my free purple bracelets to

Thanks to my friend Tina for sending these to me… Twelve things to remember: 1. The value of time
