I was doing a business course a while ago and they challenged me to do a Facebook Live for 10 minutes! Ouch! My 1st try at FB live for my biz was an absolute disaster so the only way was up from there…. If you fancy a giggle, you can see the video here 🙂…
It’s a simple principle. Small decisions every day have a compounded effect over time. We can easily see that at work when we look at the teenager who tries a puff on a cigarette or the person who progresses to the habit of 40 cigarettes a day over many years. Whether we choose to eat the fruit…

Who’d have thought we’d be in another year and another lockdown. But we look forward with hope as vaccines are rolled out and we have opportunities to look forward to new beginnings. I’ve been missing seeing family and friends like you have! I wanted to share some positive things 🙂 Here are some images from some of…
Hi Everyone What a year it has been for everyone. So many things have happened that we haven’t expected – there have been tears, joy, losses, grief – wow. I know it’s been like that for you too. It’s been a rollercoaster for sure. So I wanted to leave the year on a positive…
