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 !!

WARNING FOR ALL MALES FROM ME Last weekend I saw something at The Gun Show that sparked my interest. I was looking for a little something different for my wife Dana. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer. The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term … More Saturday Smiles – about safety
Our internet has been very dodgy of late. Seems to be behaving again…for now. Here in Oz it’s spring which means our weather here in Adelaide is very topsy turvy. Cold and wintery one day.

You ever had one of those days/weeks when everything seems to go wrong? That was us this week. It was like the King Midas touch in reverse. We ordered a top of the range NASA science inspired mattress topper for our bed. It was 50% discount. Still expensive but not so eye wateringly much as … More Saturday Smiles – when things go wrong
A little old Lady was walking down the Street dragging two large plastic rubbish bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 fell out onto the pavement. “Oh, really? Darn it!” said the little old lady. “I’d better go back and see if I can find … More Saturday Smiles – let’s laugh and smile
