I thought that I would have weeks to pack my belongings and sort out my life this end before I moved. Now things have changed and I have to do it all in 4 days. Pack-up and clean out my family home and my disabled brother-in-laws...

Jane_Harper Like you I have many years of life here to move. Luckily I'm not having my house re-possessed, but I do have to get rid of a lot of our belongings. We have to downsize BIG BIG time lol. I also have two beautiful dogs to re-home. I can't take them with us...

This is most certainly not a religious question, unless you want it to be. Simply, 'What is faith?' Is it the same as 'belief', or is it something else? Does it even exist, or is it just a human concept that has been developed...

Jane_Harper That's a great way to describe it. Keep you faith strong and it will and it will give you strength in return :)

Some people have never experienced the power of meditation. Some people make meditation a career choice. Extreme, I know, but hopefully you are somewhere in between. Do you meditate on a regular basis?

Jane_Harper I'm certainly going to go back to daily meditation after reading all these posts. I too prefer the person that I was when practiced regularly. Calm yet alert, peaceful yet aware and definitely more productive. I practice 'The Breath' too, also focused and...

Jane_Harper I used to meditate on a regular basis, but I haven't done so for a few months now. That is until today. Reading everyones post has reminded me about how much I used to get from meditating regularly. My stress levels where lower, I was calmer and more...

Jane_Harper I too practice more than one type of meditation. Firstly, mind clearing by breathing techniques. I find that this helps reduce stress. I can adapt the breathing technique to gain and maintain focus and attention, if that is what I need. I also practice...

There's lots of statistics about online gambling figures, but they vary greatly. It seems to be a booming business, with more and more new websites appearing daily. I was wondering how many myLot users took part in any for of...

Jane_Harper You say you're playing for fun and it seems that you actually DO mean it. You do it for kicks, not due to addiction and your financial limits are very reasonable. You stick to 10 euros and then stop, you reach your limit and end it there. Good for you my...

It is my wish that when I die, I am cremated and then have the carbon removed from my remains and have it turned into a diamond. The are companies that specialise in it, I think that it's a wonderful idea. Being a diamond and...

Jane_Harper Sadly, most people are too preoccupied or too selfish to care about who has to folk out to pay for their demise. A lot of people spend their lives being overly concerned about things that they can't do anything about, such as past mistakes, instead of LIVING...

How many people out there are depressed and doing nothing about it? Maybe you don't even realise that you're depressed. You think that you're just tired, run down, stressed, feeling sorry for yourself. This is depression, in...

Jane_Harper Most people in the world would say that they could be happier, but rarely do anything about it. Being depressed is a bit more than that. Even if you're only mildly depressed, left unresolved, it could easily escalate without you realising it. It is human...

Jane_Harper I agree that it can be dangerously addictive. Especially as you don't have to leave the house. The temptation can prove too much for some people, so people with addictive personalities look out. I've never been much of a gambler, yet I've found myself drawn...

Jane_Harper The cost of the process is about £10,000. The weight of the diamond is approx 1 carat. If processed expertly, the diamond its self would be worth more than the original cost. In time that value will increase. I will put financial arrangements into place...

Jane_Harper The current cost to press your carbon remains into a diamond is about £10,000, depending on the setting you want the stone in. The diamond produced weighs in at 1 carat, which if made expertly can make the stone more valuable than the original cost. Not that I...

Jane_Harper I understand your concern that families are no longer valued, luckily my entire family have a strong, much valued bond. I too am sentimental, it was when my eldest daughter said that she would love to whip me out on special occasions and adorn herself, feeling...

Jane_Harper Being a first time mum can be daunting. You have no idea what you're doing and as babies don't come with instructions, you need to find other ways to learn. I've brought up 4 daughters. I have a lot of friends with young children and I'm glad that I can...
