There’s a big difference don’t you think – between reacting and responding?! (reacting has an exclamation mark after it for starters)! I’m trying to respond rather than react. From a yin-yang perspective there’s room for yin reflection in deciding to respond. There’s time to think and it’s implicit that a response is based more on your own thoughts (taking into … Read More
Shine
You’ve been invited to a certain ‘special’ event this week where attendees are asked to SHINE. There has been much chatter (it’s not Cinderella’s Ball peeps), far too much stress (it’s not Cinderella’s Ball peeps) and plenty of fashion advice shared, along with a few laughs (Robyna is too funny).
