Back to Work? No, back to filling your life with joy :)
Most people
have been away on holiday and have just returned to
work, school or just reorganizing for the last quarter
of the year. If your mind is already on planning
your next holiday or break just hold up for a second and
think about your life now. Give thanks for the
wonderful things happening around and within you.
Look at the beauty of the golden light early in the
morning as I did this morning, see the joy abounding
around you. If you are saying "what joys" then it
is definitely time to make a list of all the things you
can feel gratitude for. Five a day would be a good
start. Here are my five today:
-
The golden
light shining on the plants on my patio this morning
-
The love I
feel for my husband and family
-
The jump for
joy my dog Mocha did for me on seeing me first thing
-
Celia, the
helper I have to free me up to do the things I like
-
Gratitude
for being able to share with friends like you
What are
your five?
Portrait of a
Waterfall
Fiona Joy Hawkins’ debut piano album has been described
as ‘music to dream to’. Featuring piano with
orchestration, Portrait of a Waterfall
calms the mind and yet allows it’s listener to become
lost in the beauty of thematic melodies. Drama is not
lost on this album, with Opus Rain
demonstrating stunning piano and orchestration that
lifts the spirits yet soothes the soul.
“The idea of synchronicity has always intrigued me,
colours, ideas and emotions all have corresponding
sounds which are a description of everything I see and
feel”. Fiona is also well known as an
artist in Australia. I am sure you will enjoy this
CD.
Her CD is in stock for HK$168
E-mail me if you would like to reserve a copy.
