So What's Journaling? I imagine that you have made it here already knowing what is is. Just for clarity we'll say 'Journaling' or creating a 'mindfulness journal', is the daily practice of expressing yourself in the form of writing. It is private and is very much like a diary that focuses on the inner life. Self care. The purpose is to support you and help you improve your life by guiding yourself in a positive direction for a healthy life. By writing things down you somehow distance yourself a little from the often tumultuous workings of your mind so that...

  Christmas Ideas for the Busy Person Hmmm. Now, where to start. I have had the inclination all week to scribble a few lines about my approach to Christmas and how my Christmas plan is working out. I don't know why. I can't write with much authority on planning. I admit that up front. I find it hard to put the brakes on long enough to think about all that has to be done.

I knew how to work a Mac for design and passed all the necessary computer modules in schools and various courses. I could even code a basic quiz but I just wasn't interested in having tech 'stuff' in my house... I am not attracted to the aesthetic of tech. The black...

Christmas Gift Tags and Tassels How to make them and what to use them for! Tassels shout luxury on shoes and bags and other accessories. It's an accepted fact since the dawn of luxury goods. I surmise it's because of the generosity they exude. They are fun and a little excessive. Extra, so to speak. Both men and women are comfortable with them. I mean they don't shout either masculinity or femininity. It's not about that. There's plenty of thread and in a generous tassel. Much like a pop-pop. A less than full one, looks mean unless it's made of...
