Truly Appreciating Candles Means Letting them Go

Tuesday March 14, 2006
In this article courtesy of the Arkansas News Bureau, the author, Micki Bare, tells how she never used to burn her candles - opting instead to hoard them, cherish them, store them away, and otherwise never burn them. Until a friend taught her to truly appreciate candles. Then, she says, "I would soon learn that they glow and flicker. They provide warmth and beauty. They give off soft, fragrant light. I'd come to understand that the sparkle and glow of a candle is deeply relaxing at the end of a long, stressful day...That was the beginning of my addiction to candles. Now I have them all over the place." She even tells you how candles made her younger! Read the article.
