My holiday in Hawaii is almost over and I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful it has been.

I love to read, and I read a mix of about 3-4 books a week, about health, metaphysics, raw food, healing of all types, permaculture and the environment – and when I want to switch off my brain – I love reading a variety of different genre’s of novels. This week I read a great book
