The Thought Broiler

I have come across some amazing people over the last year or two, many of whom are doing incredible work, either as a professional business, or like myself on a voluntary basis, and campaigning for a cause that lies close to their heart. When the world seems to be in such chaos, it gives one hope and is heart-warming to be in contact with people striving for a better tomorrow. I came across a website run by Susan Placek and who is co-owner of “The Thought Broiler” and who began The Creative Idea Shop . Susan has very kindly let me appear as a guest blogger on this inspirational site that posts only uplifting, positive subjects that reach out to people. Susan’s favourite saying is “if given lemons, make lemonade”, and I too love this sentiment, for it is one of the lines that I used in a poem for “Parkinson’s, shaken, not stirred”.

“If given lemons, make lemonade,

How true a saying is this?

I enjoy the life, that I have made,

No opportunity or moment missed.”
