MY AFFIRMATION..........

I wrote this affirmation in order to give myself the 'boost' I needed.

No journey is too long, no hill too high, nor storm too strong.

I will not look behind, I will just look ahead.

I will not be sad, for I will look for joy.

I will not be weak, for I will seek inspiration.

I will be of firm hand and foot,

Fair heart, fair smile and calm.

I will be of one voice, against all storms,

One strength against adversity,

For I am all these things and more.........

MY PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO MINDBLOGGLING....

I know that mindbloggling means different things to different people....and that's fine. For me however, it has become very important indeed, for all of the following reasons. It allows me to express my thoughts, and feelings, (which can be quite cathartic, and is certainly empowering) It has raised my confidence level and also my self-belief. I am able to connect with people, which in turn, reduces feelings of complete isolation and loneliness, that are at times quite difficult to live with, (because of my personal circumstances, which I am doing my best to address.) Just as importantly as the benefits I receive for myself, I feel privileged to be able to 'give something back' by being as supportive and encouraging to my fellow bloggers, as they are to me. This mutual support and involvement I think is a vital ingredient of our bloggling community.

It is extremely 'heartwarming' to know that not only has someone read your post, but they have also taken the time to leave a comment. It is so appreciated, to be acknowledged in this way.

Long may our bloggling community continue to grow and expand!
