This is my little corner of serenity. It's right next to my bed. Above you can see the Buddha face my daughter brought me from Thailand. Then there are my little antique shelves which hold my incense burners, a couple of small books, and a paper mâché box from Kashmir. In front of them there is a silk hanging used as a cloth, it has an Om on it. There stands my singing bowl, which my daughter again brought from Thailand, although it had been imported from Tibet. And a Buddha tea light holder.
To the left is my new book collection, which I am very pleased with, my damn alarm clock which I wish I could do without! And my mirror, housed in beautiful, reclaimed wood, with doors on the front and the face of Buddha painted on it. This also came from Thailand but was not brought by my daughter! This is all topped off with a set of rose fairy lights just to add some ambience!
Ahhh, lovely.

Books versus Kindle
I got Amazon vouchers from my brother and sister for Christmas. I was going to buy a new Kindle as my old one no longer charges. Instead I ended up buying books! I used to love my Kindle, but to be honest, you actually can't beat holding a real book in your hands.
I bought the Dalai Lama's autobiography and The Art of Happiness, one by Bill Hicks, and a whole heap of travel books. Nepal, Tibet, Cambodia and India. Can't wait to dive into them. I also bought The Mastery of Love (which I have already read) and The Fifth Agreement to complete my collection of Toltec Wisdom by Don Miguel Ruiz. Hurry up Postie!
