Articles You Will Love

If you are a woman who likes to read the stories of other women's daily struggles, trials and tribulations as well as their joys and triumphs I would highly recommend a visit to Ann's blog. It is full of wonderful, well written articles and photos that Ann has taken.

One of the videos on AnnOnandOn (the name of Ann's blog. Don't you just love it?) turned on the water works for me. Once again I thought of those wonderful women in my life who had fought the battle with cancer and the ones who won and the ones who lost and my tears were for them. We all know someone who has been a winner and someone who lost despite their heroic struggle. When will they find a cure for this awful affliction?

AnnOnandOn is fun and entertaining to read so pop on over and take a peep. I am sure you will love it as much as I do and maybe, like me, you will be a tad envious of her wonderful lifestyle.

Realise Your Potential

I have often wondered why some people succeed in life and others fail miserably. Why does one person get offered promotions when another who works hard and is good at their job is passed over?

Recently I started reading motivational books by people like Paul Hanna, Louise Hays, Dr Joe Vitale and I also read The Power Of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale and How To Win Friend and Influence People by Dale Carnegie and it brought me to the realisation that it isn't just hard work that brings success.

What brings success to some and not to others is the persons belief in themselves and their total commitment to their own success. These people greet every new day with enthusiasm, ready to meet and overcome every challenge, they believe totally in themselves. Paul Hanna explains this in his books Believe and Achieve and You Can Do It.

People who drag themselves reluctantly out of bed every morning, dreading the very thought of going to work, will never succeed regardless of how hard they work or how good they are at their jobs.

The thing I learned from all this reading is that the potential to achieve great things is in us all but most of us never learn how to utilise that potential. My new post new year resolution is to realise my full potential with a positive, confident outlook on life and I hope you will do the same.

When Fake Is Not Good Enough

I have always loved jewelry and if I could afford it I would be dripping with gold and precious gems but I'm afraid I have champagne tastes on a beer income and beautiful jewelry was simply out of my price range. Most of my jewelry was fake with a couple of noted exceptions like my engagement and eternity rings and a lovely diamond pendant I saved for a year to afford. Of course the fakes did not fool anyone. The fact is they were very ordinary.

Recently I found Holsted Jewelers and was amazed, not only by their beautiful Designer Jewelry but also by their very reasonable prices.

You will not find Jewelry like this anywhere else. Holsted's also have a wonderful and affordable range of gifts and accessories that will delight you.
