I promise a blog everyday and what happens? … Within 48 hours I’m out of reach of the laptop and being less than techno savvy I can’t work out for the life of me how to do it on my phone. I post on Facebook instead and briefly feel like I’m letting everyone down…

How would it feel to dare to be you? To feel abundance flowing into your life because you’ve let go of the limiting thoughts and beliefs that have kept you stuck? Wouldn’t you feel like dancing? How would it feel to be the woman who had/has a dream and discovered a way of making…
Read MoreTime to look at the picture we paint with our words
