EVERYDAY INSPIRATION

Winning letter

Recently, I read Kerre Woodham’s excellent article on positivity. I daresay if I was to know Kerre and her mum, they would be on my “best buddies” list.

I bought 1001 Ways by Barbara Ann Kipfer. This book is my 2023 go-to for inspiring and creative ideas. It’s filled with so many self-motivating ideas that have me brimming with excitement. The idea is to start anywhere and choose what challenges strike a chord with you.
