-- Quote of the Day --    “{Re: positive living} Just be conscious of how much negativity has been allowed in our lives. Erase those negative thoughts and speech and actions - and replace them with something positive. And smile – the default is to frown and even if we are not in a bad mood it looks that way and people respond to that - so simply smiling can have a huge result. Negativity is simply a bad habit that we’ve allowed to manifest in our lives. The average person has between 40-60,000 thoughts a day – 95% of those are negative… but the good news is that we can all make a dent in this by making these easy steps to turn things around to a more optimistic, happy lifestyle.” ~ Sally Marks Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on Dec 4 … titled: Erase Negativity From Your Life  (*Click on the title to access the full discussion) ...

-- Quote of the Day --  “I think there needs to be more positive writing, I wouldn’t want to censor anyone – I wouldn’t want to read something negative, but I do feel that there needs to be more positive writing. …Being able to share your voice – that is just crucial - and being able to have conversations about it. …The main thing is not to be discouraged… I think a lot of people feel that if unless they get published or have a rejection that they are just no good and don’t have anything worthy to say -and they give up. …And that is probably the worst thing you can do. If it brings you joy and you even impact just one person – that is huge! …You will not fail unless you give up.” Sally Marks Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on Dec 4… titled: Erase Negativity fromyour Life  (*Click on the title to access the full discussion)   -- World ...
