Embracing Adversity

 Embracing Adversity: My Journey to Transformation and Growth 

I wanted to take a moment to share a chapter of my life's journey that's been all about resilience, growth, and investing in myself. 

Life has a funny way of throwing challenges our way, and I've had my fair share. But instead of letting adversity define me, I decided to take charge and embark on a path of personal development. It was like retraining my brain to see the brighter side of life, to find gratitude even in the midst of challenges, and to seize opportunities that might have been hidden in plain sight. 

Through investing in myself, I've witnessed a transformation that's nothing short of incredible. I've learned that the way we perceive the world around us has a profound impact on the choices we make and the paths we take. By focusing on personal growth, I've not only boosted my self-esteem but also gained the courage to step beyond the boundaries of my comfort zone.

Going against the grain isn't always easy, but it's where the magic happens. It's in those moments of stepping into the unknown that we discover our true potential. I've found that by embracing my uniqueness and daring to follow my own path, I've been able to carve out opportunities that align with my passions and aspirations.

This journey has taught me that even amidst challenges, there's always a silver lining waiting to be found. It's about training our minds to see the possibilities, even when they're not immediately obvious. And you know what? It's worth every ounce of effort.

So, here's to embracing adversity, investing in personal growth, and defying the odds. Let's continue to rewrite our stories, turning challenges into stepping stones and setbacks into setups for success. 

If my journey can inspire just one person to believe in their own potential, then sharing my story is absolutely worth it. Here's to a future filled with growth, positivity, and the courage to chase our dreams

Manifest. Abundance. Connection

 Manifesting. Abundance. Connections. One thing all of us need is connections. We need connections to feel safe, to grow, to love  and to feel connected to someone or something else. One of my beliefs is that if we can always give someone 5 minutes of your time. In that 5 minutes of genuinely giving someone your time and attention, connections can be made.  The secret to this strategy is to have good boundaries so that you don't become the person who has to listen to everyone's story over and over and it become draining on yourself.  Most people wouldn't be able to tell you the last time someone took a straight 5 minutes to listen and communicate without other distraction. Yet this form of communication is the most important. In that 5 minutes you could have unknowingly been someone's light house, someone could have been having the worst day ever, and your kindness of just listening, talking and being there 100% just for 5 minutes can change the protectory of their d...

Welcome to 2015, Let us make it the best year yet.

Happy New Year to you all.  It is hard to believe how quickly the days, months and years roll by.  How was 2014 for you? Hopefully it was a good year for you.  What would you like 2015 to hold?   We all have goals and dreams, some we achieve and some we just don't. Sometimes we can get caught up in the thought the dreams are for others. I truly believe that if someone out there is doing what I want to do, then why can't I.  Often what stops us are our self limiting beliefs.  Sometimes we can hold a fear of failure, so it is easier not to try because we might fail, and who wants to fail.  Let us change our meaning of failure, failure is merely feedback.  Every time something doesn't work out the way we think, we learn not to do it that way, so we try another way.  Failure can be very useful and maybe try changing the wording to feedback. I believe Success is a Birth Right. Every one has a right to be successful. Success is a...

Special Needs Children - Angels that walk the Earth

Over the years I have had a fair bit to do with children with special needs and their parents. The sheer love and determination from parents of special needs children, shines though, and parents learn ways to manage different problems they have to overcome. Years ago as a teenager I used to visit a friends brother in a residential care home for children. My first visit left me feeling sad and overwhelmed. Being a teenager and really thinking mostly about myself, I felt I had enough issues in my own life to deal with, growing up seemed hard enough at the time. So I choose not to go back and visit again.  Something inside me keep bugging me and months later I returned to the home and my visits become weekly Friday night visits.  My love for these children grew and grew to the point I gave up Happy Hour at work. Remember I was a teenager, happy hour in the middle of town on a Friday night was a ton of fun.  Something inside me gave my night away in order to visit ...
