To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable,
and wealthy, not, rich;
to listen to stars and birds,
babes and sages, with open heart;
to study hard;
to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently,
await occasions, hurry never;
in a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common
– this is my symphony.

Thank you, Shalamar!
I love this!
I havent checked in here for a when as I thought it was getting boring, but the last handful of posts are actually superior quality so I guess I will add you back to my everyday bloglist. You deserve it my friend.
It’s always nice to find a blog close to home here in Australia. Looking forward to your next post 🙂
Welcome, Stephanie! I’m thrilled you’ve visited! 🙂 A new post is on it’s way – keep eyes peeled! xox
Hi Claire,
I am so glad that I found your page! I enjoy being a gracious woman in my early 30’s and treasure femininity.
It shocks me of how some women behave! They are wearing designer handbags and pretending to be a lady and in the next moment pushing you out of the way to get a seat on the train.
I would wish that more and more women would start to appreciate again the gift we have and remember how beautiful it is to be a woman!
Love from London,
Phoebe
PS: My apologies for misspelling your name Clare!

In this society where women are selling themselves short everyday coz of love of money and impatience to get it the right way, I’m glad I stumbled here where people share my values. Love all the way from Nairobi. xx.
