Have you had a rough May? Fight it! Move on!
Today is the 1 June – Fabulous. Put May behind you and MOVE ON! Editorista has rare esoteric moments where she goes a little mushy, lets go a bit of the cynic and sceptic that are close at hand and gets a little deep. While having a chat with a friend about mind power and then researching it a bit, she came across this list of “70 Things to Always Remember”. A couple of lines in the list, though simplistic and cheesy, really hit home for her and she wanted to share them with all the Representers today!
