Greatness Tip!

Writing in my journal is something that I look forward to everyday. Many of us have thought of doing it one time or another. Whether you began as a child with a diary, dabbled with it once in a while, or are devoted to and passionate about writing, it is a creative outlet we are drawn to for many different reasons. The process often appeals to us when we begin our personal journey of self discovery and look for ways to support our new ideas. Writing a journal is a practice that allows us to explore our inner most thoughts, dreams or fears.

Yvonne Attard Consulting and Coaching is pleased to announce that Lori Bateman, of Journey Into Journaling, has joined its team. Lori's love of journaling began with her first diary when she was 10 years old and developed into a life long passion and desire to teach others. 37 years and 55 books later, Lori is now available to anyone who would like to learn to write or would like to explore their writing on another level. She has an amazing knack for helping you with fresh insights whether you are just beginning or are experienced in your journaling journey.

Personal Reflection: What Have I Learned?

I completed a five day cleanse last week. What is that, you ask? This is when you eliminate red meat, dairy, gluten, and sugar from your diet as well as the obvious things like alcohol, caffeine and yummy Cs (chips, cookies and chocolate). You do this to eliminate all the toxins from your body and frankly, feel what it's like to eat clean. The results are amazing - my skin feels better, I have more energy - all is good. Now, you need to know that I have completed two other cleanses in past years with the hopes of detoxifying my system and I have been left feeling deprived. This time was different and I realize it is solely because of my attitude. In the past, I used to moan and groan about what I could NOT eat during the cleanse - what I couldn't have. This time, I decided to choose health. I focused on what I COULD have and saw that I was choosing to put good food in my body. Simply switching my perspective around made the cleanse so much more enjoyable. What did I learn? That attitude really IS everything and we always have choice. Linda M. - thanks!
