Acknowledgement

When we take time to grow and explore our relationship with the natural world, we discover how valuable it is to all of us. This is why I choose images of nature for my website and my blogs. All the photos I use are provided by Marie Cushing, Moonie Patel, Bill Davison and my husband, John Baker. I would like to acknowledge their skill and creativity and their generosity in making their wonderful photos available to me.

What resources do you need?

When faced with a situation that triggers stress or a desire for personal growth, it is useful to ask yourself a question. The question is something like – what is the knowing that is needed here?

In these situations, there is always something we cannot see or do not know or understand. To find out what that “something” is, people need some extra resources. So, as a starting point only, I am going to provide some that I know could be of value and you can feel into what is best for you.
