I have been watching the TV program 'The Voice' a talent competition for singers.

I know it has turned cold again but last week we had a few lovely days of sunshine, which always puts a spring in my step.

I have been having a sort out of clothes myself and realise that I was one of those people who wore black all the time.

As adults we have to be aware of the language we use – be it verbal language, body language or the language of 'Presentation'.  Why? because  we are surrounded by the next generation and they see and feel what is happening and how we emanate it, i.e. we can and do affect them as much with our positivity as with our negativity.
