Snowflakes

by Julie on December 4, 2010

My twelve year old daughter and I were playing in the snow yesterday,  and I was really struck by the beauty of snow, and how amazing snowflakes are.  I decided to google snowflakes and I came up with 3 interesting facts.

2. [...]

Accentuate the positive

by Julie on November 10, 2010

‘Accentuating’ the positive is vital if you want to ‘attract the positive’.  I have blogged about this in the past but I think it’s useful to be reminded, from time to time, of how powerful our mind is.
What are you ‘accentuating’ or ‘affirming’?

Time

by Julie on October 25, 2010

You may have noticed that I haven’t blogged for 12 days now: or maybe like me…”you haven’t had the time” to notice.

Listen to me!

by Julie on April 26, 2010

I don’t know about you, but when I am very upset about something, all I really want is for someone to listen to what I have to say.  I don’t want them to  ‘make everything alright’ like mum used to try and do (and I catch myself doing from time to time with my daughter). No, [...]
