You Get What You Think About

Guest Post: You Grow From Your Challenges

Another Reminder! So I learnt something about Happiness today. Happiness is a decision. And sometimes happiness is not really a ‘thing’ at all, but a decision. Deciding to live with a spirit of gratitude. Choosing to be thankful, to see the bright side, to love and smile and have hope, regardless of what’s in the… Continue reading Guest Post: You Grow From Your Challenges

Please Share Your Thoughts And Experiences On Livelihood

Your Well Being ALWAYS Comes First

In healthy, loving relationships there is mutual care, support, consideration and love. This seems obvious, but sometimes people were raised in dysfunction and have no clue what a healthy relationship is.

Visualizing What We Want Rather Than What We Don’t Want

Letting People Be Responsible for Their Own Lives

When people are not responsible for their own lives and happiness it can hurt those that love them by putting a burden on them - a burden that is not theirs.

Fulfilled and Single, FINALLY

I've been pretty much single for 12 years since my divorce.  I've had four very short-term boyfriends during this time but they didn't last long enough to even feel like a real relationship and I never lived with any of them.
