Laurie expressing gratitude
I believe that creativity is the outward expression of our connection to source energy.
My lifestyle and my creative muse are one in the same—minimalism. For me, minimalism is enjoying the beauty of a wabi-sabi life; a lifestyle where inessentials are trimmed away. Minimalism resides at the intersection where wabi (minimal) and sabi (functional) meet. A beautiful life with fewer things—simple, yet full.
By combining concise word pictures with vivid photography, my hope is to lead each reader to their indwelling spring of unlimited potential and possibility—a spring that’s just waiting to be tapped.

Hi Laurie
Sorry, I’ve not been blogging for ages, have been enjoying the unseasonal Scottish heat while looking for a new job. My tan is so good people ask me the way to the mosque!
It’s best to email me at my hotmail.co.uk although I can feel a blog coming about that mad preacher’s book burning club.
Tell Len I’m making Elderberry wine just now, and next week starting carrot wine – in time for Christmas (and Hogmanay). Keep up the beer making Len, my parents were really shy, if not for beer , I might not be here!
K xx
Kevin, we’ve heard of elderberry wine, but never (ever!) of carrot wine. We laughed at what you said about your parents being shy and beer
Carrot wine is surprisingly white, not orange. It’s bubbling away like mad so I must have done something right. Just google it Laurie and lots of recipes come up. You just drain the water off the boiled carrots so can use them for soup etc too.
Kevin – I’ve passed this information on to Himself (head Brew Master, Len) — he says, THANK YOU!!
WOW
Almost to 15000!!
I love the new look to the website…..soft and calming….
Kim – I’m glad you like it (I removed the chakra banner, and like you said, it has a softer look now).
I nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award – http://spilledcookies.com/2012/05/11/one-lovely-blog-award/ I so enjoy your blog I wanted to share it with others!

Sweet greetings, Summer
Summer – That was beautiful. Simply beautiful. Thank you!
This could very well be the way towards a healthier mind, soul, body, heart, home, family – you name it! If it is less junk in the home, that collects dust, dirt and germs. Or, a less cluttered brain leading to a better me. Having it all my come down to just cherishing the fact my daily needs are met. Reading your blog is a peaceful experience. Thank you.
Mydailyminefield – I’m so glad my blog resonates with you! Thank you for letting me know
How come we didn’t even learn such an amazing philosophical concept (Wabi-sabi) in our philosophical classes! Well, it sounds really awesome
Britton – I’m glad you resonate with the wabi-sabi concept
Hi Laurie,
I just wanna find out more about numbers, my birthday is 28.10.1975 so am I life path 33 or 6 and for past few months I’ve been seeing number 1 and 11 everywhere mostly clock it’s either 1 minute or 11 minutes past the hour like 9:11 or 10:01 or 11:11, or 1:11. So I’m not sure what all this means and am just trying to understand numbers a little bit more.
Kind regards
Lucija
Lucija – A Master Number 33 is a super-charged Life Path 6. As to seeing 1′s and 11′s everywhere…in my experience when people see a repeated number on a digital clock (1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55, and 11:11) it means “hello from the other side.”
