The beginning of the year is always the best time to make long-lasting changes in life.

 

Who hasn't set New Year’s Resolutions? But the question is how many of us actually succeed with our goals - especially long-term?

 

In our lifetime we have all developed our unique mental map that holds our preferred patterns and programs in a form of an auto pilot. Some patterns work really well for us, but some are simply outdated and some are clearly causing us to self-sabotage our progress and our true desires.

 

How sad - it is like running into a brick wall - over and over and over again. Speaking out of my own experience - that is exhausting and unnecessary!  Now comes the good news: once you have made the choice to change, change is simple. Not always easy, but simple!

 

I believe 2012 is a special year for great changes and I was contemplating how to reach a wider audience in the New Year. It all began with a single thought - a wish to help positive change manifest for as many people as possible in the local community.

 

Well this was about two months ago and it just goes to show what can happen, when we put action to a thought! I spoke to a few business owners, found a sponsor and things evolved from there:

 

On the 4 of February 2012 North Lakes is hosting its first ever North Lakes Wellness Expo in the Community Centre and I am proud to be the organiser of this event.  About 30 businesses will be presenting their products and services around lifestyle, health and personal development.  Food and kids entertainment is provided for. In my Xmas spirit I decided to seize the opportunity and add a fundraiser for an even better cause. We have fabulous gifts to be won and all money from the prize draw will go to the Family and Kids Care Foundation.

 

Advertising is going out to over 20,000 households and we are expecting a huge success. I hope to see you all there!  Have a fantastic Xmas and an even better start into the New Year…
