Creating a Beautiful Life

My life’s work is infused with a deep and profound love of the sacred: nature, words, ritual, home and family. In fact, my favourite word is home.

Flowers of every type enchant me, and I adore hot sunshine, tempestuous thunderstorms, my hands in the earth, the haunting strains of cello, stars, and moonlight. My great pleasures also include being snugged up on the sofa by the woodstove reading a book, being mesmerised by birdsong at dawn, and time with my family. My favourite scent is eucalyptus (and I use it like a white witch in my housecleaning!) because it reminds me of my childhood in Australia, and how good the bush smells after the rain.
