Author: Soul Gifts

I'm Raili, an Aussie-Finn. My life is founded on a strong, heart centred spirituality learnt at home. My parents 'walked the talk' throughout their lives. I have been graced with the passion of following in their footsteps. During my career as a mental health nurse I had the privilege of working with our community's most disenfranchised members. It was a humbling and profound learning experience which also left me with a passion for lifelong learning. And enabled me to develop an extensive tool kit of transportable skills. Now I am a home-based business owner. Soul Gifts offers metaphysical and alternative approaches to health and well being complemented by Young Living's 100% pure essential oils. YL is the 'second arm' of my business as I am an Independent Distributor (#1422979). Soul Gifts YouTube videos feature how to make home based beauty care products from the kitchen cupboard. Life has been very busy lately so video production has been on hold. Soon to be re-activated. Plans are also in the pipeline to upload guided creative visualisation onto YouTube.... I also love creative writing - fantasy, reminiscing, introspective, fun, story telling for young and old, poetry. And more serious stuff too. That is how my blog Soul Gifts - Telling Tales came into being. It provides me with endless hours of playtime and learning. As well as enabling me to share my writings with those who are interested in what I have to say. The categories are pretty diverse. They range from monthly newsletters, to 'corners' for poetry, short stories, wellbeing and children's stories. I quit my day job a few years ago. Along with many other grey nomads and baby boomer retirees, I have discovered that I have no problem in filling my days. In fact, I don't know how I ever had time to go to work, run a household, and take care of all the the other necessities of life. This is so much more fun !!

August 22, 2017

  What am I supercharging?  Well may you ask. Lately I’ve been immersing myself into learning all about how to make normal, everyday foods better. Simple, easy, cost free. That’s right. There’s a lot of evidence based information emerging from many scientific studies about  food. Today I’m sharing some more of my discoveries. Now I’ve … More I’m supercharging Pt 2

Saturday Smiles

Insurance Funnies 😀  A truck backed through my windshield into my wife’s face. 😮  A pedestrian hit me and went under my car. 😛  The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him. 😉  I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at … More Saturday Smiles

Echoes of Imagination

  What if you could, she echoed invitingly …     In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy… Echoed taunting and  teasing and an answer came directed in a writing unexpected… life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know Clancy’s gone a-droving and she – she has gone a-droving in the … More Echoes of Imagination

That classical noise
