The title of this post must be read as though ACDC is singing it. If for some incomprehensible reason you have no idea who these Rock Legends are, please follow the link to be enlightened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwIvBNsSywQ
That reminds me of a time I was talking with a friend who was born in the 70's about the band KISS...he looked at me blankly and had had no idea who I was talking about!!! Shocking. To avoid such a thing happening in my kids lives, I actually have "music appreciation lessons" with them where we put on good old fashioned Rock'n'Roll and bust a move. I think it is important to let them know that back in the day, music was made with instruments instead of computers and the people singing were actually capable of singing without the aid of computer enhancement. But that's just me :) I love music and how it can evoke and soothe so many emotions we have inside us. Actually, I sang that Mockingbird Song to Sophie when I tucked her into bed one day and she said to me "Mum, that song nearly made me cry". Yep, music is in our blood.
Anyway enough with the rambling, as I was saying, I'm back!! I am so glad to be back in the blogosphere and I actually really missed writing every day. I don't think I realised how important writing is to me until I took a little break from it. Sure it might be just a blog, but it is writing none the less; writing to share my stories with the intention of brightening all of our lives and helping us to be the best possible versions of us that we can be.
with today being Monday and the theme being Motivational, I wanted to share with you some words from Jacqueline Mooney, editor of Weight Watchers magazine. This exert was from the May issue and the power of the words really hit home for me, not just for weight loss, but for every element of my life. I hope you can draw on it to to invoke the intrinsic motivation we all have to live our happiest lives...
"...I've also learnt many valuable things. Amongst the memorable? Don't sweat the small stuff - focus on what really matters and things eventually fall into place. No matter how scary it seems, step outside of your comfort zone because the rewards are well worth it. Make one small change at a time and, pretty soon, those small adjustments will add up to one very big difference. Above all, if you want to change something for the better, don't wait for next week/next month/until things settle down. Start right now!"
Happy Monday beautiful people and it is a pleasure to be back xox
