Fiona is becoming such a source of daily inspiration, encouragement and friendship! What a wonderful person. I've been reading her small stones book now for a few days and feel incredibly more in touch with the beauty of the small things around me!

XOXO to you all! Thank you Leah, for posting this fabulous post!

Hi Rowena – I agree – it’s the process of noticing and then writing things down that feels so useful to me. Do you know about the UK blogger Clare Grant at http://www.threebeautifulthings.blogspot.com? Am wondering if this is where you got the idea or if it arose spontaneously in both of you!
Chantal – thank you – and I agree, you should definitely get the book! Or even better, get someone to buy it for you… as you say – what else do we have but moments as they pass?

Thanks for this wonderful interview! I think I’ll just have to get the book Moments are what life is made up.

I love your Stones, Fiona. They are so poetic and still and beautiful. Thank you for sharing them.

When I read this, I realized that I have been doing this too, but I call them my "happies," and they are much more prosaic. I started doing them on 43things.com, along with a bunch of other people looking to write down 3 things every day that made them happy. I found them to be such a wonderful way to document my life that I started blogging them, too.

And the help that they have given my heart is immeasurable.

Hi iHanna, Bobbypin Bandit, Rebecca. Thank you for your comments – and thank you to Leah for having me. I really enjoyed our ‘conversation’, and it’s always interesting to hear which ’stones’ strike different people – they’re always different ones! Warmest, Fiona

I love the concept of the small daily quotes – mindfullness at its best. I’ve been reading this blog for awhile and enjoy it. Sometimes it reminds me of what I might otherwise overlook in my day.

What an excellent idea-finding one extraordinary occurrence or object a day to appreciate. Not only is it creative, it can be very theraputic and rewarding. Cheers!
