{Quality time} All the fun of the festive fair

Excited crowds at the Christmas market.  The smell of gluwein, sugary crepes and spicy goulash in the air.  Generous measures of red wine in cosy Nordic bars.  Oh, and a little playful moment on the carousel...

{Take action} Do your thing...

What's the one bad habit that you can't shake?  I don't mean that chocolate indulgence, or the sneaky mid-week glass of wine - we all deserve a little treat!  I mean that learned way of being that you're trying to un-learn .... or you don't even know you're doing/being until it's too late.


I'll put mine out there.  I'm a self-confessed people-pleaser.  Not all the time but in certain situations I water down the fire that rages on the inside, too afraid to (god forbid) rock the boat.  So today, I'm going to do one thing today that scares me - speak up and use my voice.
