I love this picture (featuring the ever amazing Doreen Valiente and Patricia Crowther). One runs across it from time to time, but this incarnation I scanned 1965’s “Witchcraft, the Sixt…
Escolha conviver com pessoas determinadas, sinceras, honestas e realizadas; Escolha amizades que te estimule no que tens de melhor; Escolha relações profissionais que te impulsionem para o alto; Escolha ter pensamentos lúcidos; inspiradores e confiantes; Escolha ambientes profissionais cooperativos e estimulantes; Escolha ser próspero em todos os níveis (material, mental, emocional e espiritual); Escolha relações afetivas que te engrandeçam e contribuam para que evoluas na tua missão; Escolha adquirir conhecimentos que te empoderem e contribuam para se encantar consigo mesmo e com a existência; Escolha ser saudável e cuidar de si com carinho e dedicação; Escolha pelo menos três coisas consideradas impossíveis e as realize em 2014; Escolha proporcionar tudo isso que escolhestes para ti a todos aqueles da tua convivência; E, sobretudo, escolha estar presente. (Wallace Liimaa)

I just got back from being in Wales for two weeks. Henry and I actually cycled down there. We had to take two trains and cycle across London from Kings Cross to Paddington. I've never cycled in London before that. It got a little bit hairy in parts but I survived! Wales was so beautiful. We saw sheep and lots and lots of cows. We did surfing, canoeing (scary), sailing, cliff walking, kite flying, rock rool dabbling and lots and lots of chocolate eating! My favourite thing we did was go on a boat trip round an island to see the puffins. I'm not too bothered about puffins but I love seals! And we saw plenty of those. I also love boat trips. After we did that we had a picnic on the headland and it was seriously one of the nicest, most picturesque places I have ever had the fortune to eat a picnic! My dog was in heaven! He's already tried to run away twice since we got back home. Don't think he's too happy about being back. Will have to give him lots of walks to compensate! As you can probably tell, absolutely no drawing got done whatsoever these past two weeks but I did write over 4000 words of my new book. So I wasn't completely lazy. Have a wonderful weekend! X
