Sunday Scribblings #43 – Photograph
Photographs. What an interesting prompt this week. To start, I just have to say that my friend Lina, whom I met in India in on Christmas Day 2005, recently told me about this amazing site for artists and and writers. It’s called RedBubble.

Read MorePast Lives – This occupies a lot of my thinking time lately
The first time I travelled to India, Nicole taught me about past life theories. We had this amazing experience when she practiced Reiki with me (my first experience with Reiki, and the whole reason I extended my first trip to India for!).
