Like millions of others around the world I am very saddened by the death of Michael Jackson. He was such a complex genius. I wish him harmony, and much more. I adore the sweet soaring notes of ‘Human Nature’. His luminous music lives on.
Lots of love,
Grace

If you want to listen to a radio documentary I made click the Tara podcast…it is [...]

I’ve been reading ‘The Seeker’s Guide’ by Elizabeth Lesser and it’s great! She is very honest and refreshing. And she most insightful re. the very human side of spirituality. Somehow it reminds me of the M. Scott Peck quote: ‘Abandon the urge to simplify everything, to look for formulas and easy answers, and [...]

Hi there!
It’s Saint Valentine’s Day and that means many different things to different people. For some there will be cards and flowers and romantic meals. A gorgeous sense of celebration.

What a beautiful inauguration ceremony. What eloquence and grit. This man means so much to so many people around the world. Here in Ireland I watched him becoming President. And I too shed some tears, like millions of others. What can one say on such a momentous day? A time that summons up [...]

Hi,
I have just signed up to receive a weekly email from Gwyneth Paltrow and you can too you if you long onto www.goop.com. Her website looks interesting and varied. And, to tell the truth, I rather like the idea of receiving occasional tips etc. from such a talented lass.
I read about her website a while [...]

Hi!
I’ve just done a wee bit of surfing and found a super dooper review of ‘Ready Or Not?’ on Amazon.co.uk. Thank you for writing it R. Griffiths! I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the books. And yes, you’re right about certain themes. Windsurfing. budgies, biscuits and hands…. Actually I’ve just given some perky [...]

Hi!
There’s a lot to be said for keeping things simple at Christmas. For not buying into the ads that infer one should get a new conservatory, sitting room suite and ironing board etc. Much of the beauty of Christmas lies in its simple rituals. We need to reclaim its true meaning.
I would like [...]
