Photos and Freebies :)

Mmmmm, I trust you’ve been enjoying a wonderful Christmas-time, whether you celebrate this holiday or not ;) Mr. Monarch and I had a yummy relaxing Christmas Day yesterday in the sun in Arizona ;) It was day 10 of our current intended 30-day Juice Feast and we enjoyed lots of healing, an inspiring walk in the grounds and labyrinth here at The Tree of Life, some sweet gift sharing and watching some beautiful films from The Spiritual Cinema Circle – love it ;) Tomorrow the guests start to arrive for our 10-day ‘Renew Yourself’ retreat – exciting :)
One of the other activities I really enjoyed this Christmas time was going over my digital photo collection on my computer. As you may know, we recently had a big car crash, during which my ‘puter got smashed up quite a lot...a wonderful friend of ours helped transfer all my data to another computer and set up all my photos in iPhoto, which I hadn’t used much before – it’s SO great :))) Loving it...as I went through the pics, I pulled out some of my favourites from the last few years and put them together in a Flickr album over HERE, if you’d love to peruse them – enjoy ;) (Note: durian features quite a lot in these pics ;)
