Positive Psychology and Laughter Yoga Practitioner, Holistic Health and Wellbeing Coach, Sesquipedalian wordsmith, aspiring tragic optimist, freelance catalyst for change and serial hugger (but having hug withdrawal thanks to the pandemic). I absolutely loved connecting with people via the dying art of face to face conversation, with a firm belief that strangers are just friends we have not met, yet. "You don’t have to move mountains. Simply fall in love with life. Be a tornado of happiness, gratitude and acceptance. You will change the world just by being a warm, kind-hearted human being." ~ Anita Krizzan Money comes and goes, but time only goes. ~ Timber Hawkeye Life is to be enjoyed, not endured!
