I want to share with you something really personal; I have always loved fairytales.As a young child I imagined that the fairy on top of the Christmas tree would come alive each year and magic me a miracle.

It’s time to silence your programmed ways of thinking…

  “Every day you must unlearn the ways that hold you back. You must rid yourself of negativity, so you can learn to fly…” (Leon Brown) As babies we are all born with an innate default setting. I believe that default setting is one of love and self love, joy and inner peace and ‘being at one with who we are’. As babies we never question our own ability. We are comfortable in our own Read more…
