Every Day Gets Better

Oh my dear fellow women, when will you understand that life isn't about outer beauty!

I unashamedly love quotes! Plus, I love the pics creative people do with quotes on them. You can google pretty much any quote you like and you'll most likely find a great corresponding image.

Who writes the criteria for who's better than someone else? Sadly it's usually the media and advertisers wanting to sell you their latest product. How about starting today - right now, being kinder to Continue Reading

It's a sheer joy and brings great freedom to know that your happiness comes from within yourself and not from any outer source - but it can also be a tad daunting. What if you believe a relationship with the 'right' person can make you happy? What if you think the perfect job/career, home, environment etc will bring you lasting happiness?
