harvest

After blogging about the Economics of Happiness last month and posting the clip on Facebook, I had one lovely follower give me some tips about growing my own tomatoes.

I have to confess, I had some help. Chris' mother bought us a healthy looking tomato plant which was covered in flowers and for Christmas, Chris and the girls planted it into a half wine barrel, complete with beautifully rich organic soil, a marigold and some basil and parsley - and a dripper so it gets watered automatically. I couldn't have chosen a more perfect gift.

And look! Those are my own tomatoes. In that short space of time the fruit ripened and was ready to eat. They were sweet and delicious and it was completely satisfying knowing we'd grown them ourselves.

Metaphorically, I sowed lots of lovely seeds last year. The other one that has just come to life is a beautiful new website, designed by the clever and very talented Andrew Englisch. It's called The Change Project. It's an online resource centre to help people create positive change in life.

It's been so well received by the people who have seen it so far - I hope you like it too. There are some free downloads (MP3s and an eBook) available on the home page and there'll be lots of new blog posts (at least a couple of new articles each week). We'll be running eCourses and events and you'll find a range of natural therapists and coaches on the site from all over Australia.

Drop by and have a look and let me know what you think!
