Speaking of books, that is The Secret I am talking about. I read this book by Rhonda Byrne many years ago, when everyone else was reading it.

Day One at Work in 2017
Are you back at work? Are you having a tough day? I’m pretty sure you’re not the only one who is suffering through all the moans and groans. Here’s how my day went yesterday: 7am : Alarm goes off.

For the longest time ever, the romantic notions tied to Paris and the Eiffel Tower have always appealed to me.

Sometimes there are signs of positivity everywhere. You just need to look for them. I came home feeling a bit low but cheered up immensely seeing these beautiful orchids near the front door. Happiness. Up until a few years ago, I couldn’t tell a real plant from a plastic one but look at me now! Orchids, no less! I’ve had this plant for two years … Continue reading Blooming happy!ย
