Here is some...

You've heard it before... Gratefulness is good for you. Many therapists/counsellors/health care workers have seen how positive the act of being grateful is to one's health, especially for mental health; even going as far as implementing a 'gratefulness journal' into the care of their patients/clients. Many individuals have professed that focusing on the positive and adopting an attitude of gratitude, transformed their way...

This month's mood board was created for us all by Natalie. It's fresh and fun! I love it!

It's the first day of Winter. Some people absolutely hate this season, the colder parts of the year - but I actually...don't mind it. I love layering on the clothes, having bonfire night and toasting marshmallows, snuggling up on the couch watching a good movie, drinking hot chocolate. I love the crisp mornings - you know the ones where you have to count...
