Thank You For One Thousand

28/08/2020

I didn’t even know how to start this post. Because I was not quite prepared for me to hit this milestone so quickly. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for choosing to follow me. I restarted this blog at the beginning of July with 160 followers and no idea what I was doing (still don’t) and here I am on the 28th July hitting 1,000 followers. I never once thought this would happen and so soon.

I am still learning and making mistakes and still will. Theres always so much to learn with anything, especially blogging. Thank you for sticking with me. I hope that this can continue, and I hope this community of people can build up into an army of positive, self confident, kind humans. 💕

Special thanks to those that are constantly supporting, liking and commenting words of encouragement. You know who you are. And special thanks to those who have featured on my blog by doing guest posts. They really are so enjoyable and I love getting to know each of you through the process.

Thanks so much!

There is one thing the world so desperately needs right now and thats more kind people. 2020 has been a rough year. We’ve had Coronavirus, racial injustice around the world and devastating explosions and fires. Now let me be clear, I’m not saying random acts of kindness is the answer to all of the terrible things happening in the world. However, as humans we should stick together. We are in this together. Being kind to each other is the very least thing we should do for one another. I have come up with a list 30 random acts of kindness that we can do to show each other a little bit of love, because we know that we need it right now.

What is a simple life pleasure you may ask?

it’s life’s simple pleasures – the moments, sensations, and actions that we experience, feel, and do every day, often without taking notice – that can lead to an unequivocal amount of joy.

The Value of Doing The Things That Scare You

17/08/2020

If you’re anything like me then I run away from fear and the things that make me scared, and I think thats quite common. Very rarely do I face my fears and push through my comfort zone. Maybe because I am scared I wont be able to do it, or I’ll change my mind at the last minute? Who knows why, but I know there is value in doing the things that scare me. So today I thought we could have a discussion and talk about why its important that we do these things and what we can benefit from it.

5 Things That Bring Me Joy

30/07/2020

I try to wakeup everyday with a grateful heart. We are given a fresh start everyday, how lucky we are. It’s important that I find small or big things in my day that bring me joy.
