Starting the day with a positive attitude can set a person’s mood. Actions and behaviour have rippling effects. At university when I studied subjects such as behavioural, social and cognitive psychology, these effects were presented.

News and media tend to focus more on negative issues and while it is important to be aware of what is happening, there is also a need to share uplifting thoughts.

My personal motto is spread sunshine and inspiration. I wanted this to be shared daily so I decided to create a community on Facebook where I could offer positive messages to others through words and images. So the Sunshine and Inspiration page was established.

To my delight, many people have embraced the Sunshine and Inspiration page and at present it has a community of over 2,000. I am always receiving so much positive feedback about the page. The world can be a beautiful place if we take a positive attitude. Yes, we all go through dark times but it is how we deal with them that is important. It is sometimes these daily reminders of inspiration that can assist.

Inspired by the positivity that the Sunshine and Inspiration page has created, I now want to reach more people and continue these positive messages. The answer is how can I do this? Well I am very busy compiling an inspiration book and hope to have the book available some time soon. If I can make a difference in just one person’s life, I will know it is worthwhile.

Life is a blessing and being grateful is the key to happiness. Please keep ‘Spreading sunshine and inspiration.’
