Life Is Multi Faceted

October 24, 2019 / Holly / Leave a comment

    Life is made up of memories. Life is made up of dreams. Life is made up of actions. Life is made up of feelings. Life is made up of emotions. Life is made up of responses.

There Will Always Be Someone

May 15, 2019May 15, 2019 / Holly / Leave a comment

A little positive thought of the day ... There will always be someone who runs faster, climbs higher, earns more, has a better car, smiles more broadly, is more popular ... Focus on what it is that makes your heart truly sing and leave the rest to run their own best race. What others think … Continue reading There Will Always Be Someone

Welcome The Challenges

May 13, 2019May 13, 2019 / Holly / Leave a comment

It is in life's toughest times that we have the opportunities to grow the most. If we don't accept those lessons, recognise them for what they are, learn from them, and expand as human beings within those labour pains, we give birth to nothing new. It is always our choice in the testing times: learn … Continue reading Welcome The Challenges

In the Winters of Life, everything shows up more clearly. Seasons come and seasons go.

Sometimes we have to take it deeper and check in on … Continue reading In The Winters Of Life

Owning My Purpose

January 18, 2019January 18, 2019 / Holly / Leave a comment

From a young age I have written in journals.  When one needs to try to sort out one's thoughts about anything, I have found writing in my journals to be the very best way to clear my mind and to record what my heart is saying at the time. It is not always easy to … Continue reading Owning My Purpose

  Wherever the light gets in, that's the place to put your focus. Go to where the light pours out for refreshment of your soul.

About the Author

Holly

Holly

Drawing on personal experience of life lived on three continents thus far, I write on how to live life excellently. My writing addresses leadership and life principles, incorporating fundamental values for success, mindfulness, faith and spirituality. Subjects covered are wide ranging ~ from autobiography to the business of life in general; from raising young people to matters of brain, health and wellbeing; from natural lifestyle choices to matters of heart, home and environment. Sustainability in real terms is always at the core of my approach. My passion is for positive outcomes in all areas of life, with firm foundations, boundaries and respect being paramount elements of success. I am intentional about living a life based on love and an awareness of the connectedness of all things. Our actions have results and we are each responsible for the fruit of our lives. It is my hope that my writing will empower others to live their own best lives, with courage, integrity and love at the core of all that we think, do and create. ♥
