It’s all about Happiness!

Are you happy?
I mean, really happy.
When you stop to think about it, it’s really quite hard to define happiness, or quantify what happiness looks like – there are so many ways of being happy. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that there are as many ways of being happy as there are [...]

We’re Looking through the Lens with Wonder

Purple Stamens (c) Amy Palko
Wonder.

The feeling aroused by something strange and surprising
Something that causes feelings of wonder
A state in which you want to learn more about something
Have a wish or desire to know something
Place in doubt or express doubtful speculation
Be amazed at

What a treasure trove of feelings for one single word! We feel a [...]

We’re talking about Purpose

Do you find the question “What’s your purpose in life?” a bit confronting?
I don’t know anyone who actually asks that question in general conversation, but have seen it plenty of times in books and on blogs. And I never fail to feel a little out of my depth. In fact, it scares the pants off [...]

Introducing a month to Inspire you!

What do you do when you need to make a decision, or you need an idea, and your mind draws a total blank?
What do you do when your well is dry?
How do you replenish your store of good ideas, your creativity, your inspiration, your decision-making power?
We all have those moments where the lightbulb just stays [...]

In the middle of the [...]

February: A month to cherish you and yours

I’m not quite sure I’m ready for January to be over! My month of holidays, birthdays and celebrations has drawn to a close, school has returned for another year and I’m firmly back in the world of routine and reality. How did that happen so fast?

The possibilities are endless…

When I hear the word ‘possibility’ it immediately sends chills down my spine. There is something about knowing there are infinite possibilities out there, waiting for us, that sets my heart on fire.
I’d like to wish you a most happy New Year. I believe, with all my heart, that 2010 is going to be a [...]

We’re talking about Ceremony

Wow! December is here! Another year end approaches at the speed of light, and as the weather heats up here, and cools down for our northern friends, our thoughts turn to celebrations and the passing of time.
Our chosen theme for December is Ceremony. A little different from the usual, and boy, have our contributors stepped [...]

We’re talking about Planning and Renewal

I am thrilled to announce, with a bottle of bubbles smashed against her hull, that The Calm Space has had the most glorious of facelifts! Things have changed… and not just on the surface. She will be easier to read, easier to keep up with, and better than ever!
We’re going weekly! You’ll notice that there [...]
