Inspirational Poem

I came across a beautiful poem which is believed to have been written by the poet C W Longenecker but has also been attributed to other authors. I'm not sure who wrote it but it's certainly beautiful and  I want to share it with you, because sometimes when things get tough we forget for various reasons that we have to keep fighting. Enjoy ....

You Can If You Think You Can!

If you think you are beaten, you are,

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you like to win, but you think you can't,

It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost,

For out in the world we find,

Success begins with a fellow's will.

It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,

You've got to think high to rise,

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man.

But soon or late the man who wins,

Is the man who thinks he can.

Favourite Gemstone

Each month I tend to select a stone as my favourite of the month, and this month I have selected one of my all times favourite stones, Tiger eye, reason being that it's amazing golden-brown colour reminds me of the warm shades of Autumn.

Tiger eye is part of the Quartz group and it resemble the eye of the tiger hence its name.  This gemstone has beautiful earthy colours - golden, yellow, red and brown - and it has a changeable silk lust.

Tiger eye is usually associated with Strength, Confidence Protection and Harmony and 

I am enchanted with Tiger eye because this wonderful gemstone  makes beautiful jewellery

Autumn

If you had to describe Autumn in 4 words what words would you select ? Mine would be Change....Transition.... Melancholy..... Inspiration.

Trees are colourfully and warmly decorated in yellowish, reddish and brownish shades, there's thousands of leaves on the ground and an afternoon stroll in the park turns out to be very inspiring....
