Networking, networking, networking


What a busy week! Not that most of them aren't but this week I have been particularly busy as so many networking opportunities have presented themselves and I have grabbed each opportunity with both hands! I have networked at breakfast, at coffee, at lunch and at supper! I have connected with so many other small businesses this week and now see a brilliant chance to link businesses with other businesses on the Island. Some of the people I have met this week are working towards a greener Island and this has been superb . I myself have become the first Wikaniko distributor on the Isle of Wight and am helping people to take small steps to save the earth without costing the earth. I have also found others who might want to join my team. Together, with the many other "green" business owners that I have met this week I am sure we CAN make a difference. Someone even suggested that we may even make it the Isle of GREEN!!! We can at least start to make a difference


My quote for today is:-

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
-- Thich Nhat Hanh

Motivation and inspiration

Life is so full of up and downs and so many difficult situations present themselves. Over the years I have leaned to deal with life's challenges by looking for the good in every situataion rather than the bad. When life begins to get me down, I merely think of people who are far worse off than me and usually that lifts my mood. I like to think my glass is half full rather than half empty. I have found many motivational and inspirational people via the world wide web and I love to follow them passing on any of their hints and tips. I have found many quotes and inspirational sayings.

Over the coming days and months I would like to share these in the hope that others might find help from them.

Today's quote is "Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...
it's about learning to dance in the rain!"
-Vivian Greene

Have a great day and see you soon.
