Honest, simple reflections are often the most revealing. Taking a few moments to take stock, clear your head and offload can be a rejuvenating experience.

I’m taking a sabbatical from the ‘Positive Vibes’ weekly feature post this week to share some thoughts on life and choosing to live positively. As someone said recently, “we don’t always get a chance to choose our path in life. We choose how to live it”. These wise words were spoken by a man […]

After last week’s celebratory Positive Vibes post, normality has been resumed and I’ve gone a bit quieter this week with a shorter post. It’s all good though…positivity reigns supreme! I trust you will identify with the messages of positivity in my post. It is my hope that it will facilitate your own reflections on […]
This week’s Positive Vibes post is here! It’s my way of capturing my week into a post and sharing it with y’all to keep you up to speed!😉 I’m naturally a busy little bee and so my weeks are generally action-packed and focused on getting things done. I need to be able to look back […]
Why put barriers up or obstacles in your own way? Life is already full of many challenges that we often have no control over. So, it goes without saying that we must change the things we can. Yes, focus on your circle of influence and start making changes today. Carpe diem! Dream big, work hard […]
