Stop Bullying

As a young girl, I had very low self-esteem and was obese. Throughout my school years I was teased, tormented and emotionally tortured about living in the “slums” and for wearing worn clothes.

7 Key Strategies to Embracing Change

Change is good, because you grow with it. As each change in your life occurs, you grow and you learn more about yourself. Even if a change leads you to somewhere that you didn’t want to be, you will still learn a lesson from the change, and it will help you grow into a more rounded and balanced person. If we never change, we would end up stuck and going nowhere! Let’s face it: embracing change is no fun. Everyone likes staying in his or her comfort zone. After all, they call
