Create a sacred beauty space.
To get away from everyday life, build a “beautiful you” corner; an area that is totally dedicated to beauty in all its facets. Post images that represent beauty to you (ideally of yourself!), keep a beautifully bound journal of inspirational writings, display lovely objects and keep products that make you feel pampered and energized (a luxurious body lotion, for example!). You’ll be amazed at the difference having that small sanctuary to retreat to will make in the rest of your life.

The Power of One

Fiction

The Power of One is a beautiful example of how the biggest of spirits can be found in the most unlikeliest of places, and how with enough heart we all have the power to change the world (even when we don’t feel we do). I first read this book when I was 19, and this was a lesson I needed at the time. I went on to recommend this book at a book club, and it was unanimous – everyone loved it. And on top of the inspiring content, it is incredibly entertaining – a definite must-read. (say ‘hi’ to the crystal cave of Africa for me!)
