  I just returned from an amazing trip to Qld/NSW and fell in love with the Mount Tamborine area. What an amazing place to relax, enjoy the arts and crafts and get back in touch with nature!

  With the crazy lifetyle we lead, having time out to walk through a rainforest and have a pampering massage was just what I needed and gave me the strength to return back to 'normal life' of work, running a house, looking after family, catching up with friends, etc.

  We were also lucky enough to enjoy the amazing music at Byron Bay Bluesfest! The whole experience of music, nature, pampering and lovely food was the perfect recipe for my soul!

  I think we all need to make sure we take time out to enjoy the beauty around us!

  I have turned my spare bedroom into a meditation room. With the phones turned off I can do 30 minutes and then I feel relaxed and much calmer through my day. I am finding meditation wonderful.

  Meditation sounds great Rose.  Just what I need to de-stress.  Do you have a particular method or mantra you use?

  Mostly I use a variety of guided meditations on Cds. I love Petrea King and I do Ian Gawlers relaxations and meditations. I also do Yoga Nidras. My affirmation at the moment is " I am fit, slim and healthy" I am going to the Ian Gawler workshops in July with my Mum.

  Best of luck with the flow. Meditation has helped me so much since my diagnosis. I am meditating nearly every day and getting better at it. I would love to do a retreat and will as soon as I am able. I have some friends and we take turns doing a guided meditation then we all have a chat about our responses and then have a cuppa. Kind of like a book club. We see each other regularly but now meditate before we go out.

  Found a fabulously relaxing place just 1 hour from Perth - Holiday Haven at Jarrahdale.  On your own or with the chidren it is just spectacular.  I was on a writing retreat with the university so away all last week and this place was wonderful.
