The Goddess Philosophy
according to Marina Jacoby
Pleasure or getting your goodies from life is a woman’s birthright, yet so often it’s swept aside and comes last on the list. I believe that living a life of pleasure is like a functioning muscle: Too much compromise too much putting others first and it becomes slack.
Dodging the Winter Blues
by Christina Christou
Have you ever noticed how in winter we seem to lose some of our drive. In spring we come alive at the prospect of sun and fresh air. We have so many plans and are full of hope. A new start.

As the day dawn’s new hope awakens. Inspiration waits for us.

Gratitude is the Key to Happiness
by Debbie Carr

Today, I live my life with that exact same attitude, and not a day goes by where I don't say thanks for the wonderful things I have in my life. I am not just talking about material things either, I give thanks for my eyesight, my friends, for knowing the feeling of love, my family, the smell of the sea. The list is endless.
Yes You Can Do It
by Debbie Carr
I left school just after my 16th birthday with no qualifications – not even School Certificate. As I type today I own a small speaking bureau as well as now a director of the True Colours Group – which has three companies: training, recruitment and female speaking agency. Not bad for a girl who was voted the least to succeed in life from school.
