Prawn Dry Roast

What I read today and What I am inspired by

Becoming religious, practising or heart-centred shouldn't make you boring, serious or deep-thinking all the time. A huge part of femininity is youthfulness and light heartedness - and that has nothing to do with your age. Think about the best conversations you have - one minute your diving deep into a soul expansive topic and the next minute you're laughing your heart out. Your a beautiful woman with so many colours to your being - be practising and joyful, spiritual and humorous.
