EDITORIAL JUNE

People often ask ‘who or what inspired you to create Holistic Bliss?’…It certainly was a magical moment…but lots of different factors were involved.

I’ve wanted to help people in one form or another for my whole adult life.

After being an holistic psychologist for many years, I ventured into the world of freelance writing, providing commentary about psychology and health, which was a way of being able to help people on a bigger scale.

There were also people along the way such as Lisbeth Skovmand Nielsen and Mike Robinson who encouraged me (probably about six years ago) to pursue a career in writing or anything which involved expression and communication and being in the public eye.

But to tell you the truth, I’d had enough….I’d had enough of my articles being altered in a soul-less way as a freelance writer, I’d had enough of the whole 90+ pages of gloss and gossip, on paper that was not kind to the environment. There had to be a new way forward…then there was BLISS! The idea of a quick, informative read magazine came through….so I felt I had to act on it and bring the idea to fruition. And with the encouragement of family and friends, this dream became a reality.

From my experience, I would say trusting yourself is the most important thing and then acting on the inspirational ideas (without being too wild and reckless)

and without getting too caught up in your head is paramount.When this is put into practise, you start to feel alive and you also feel like you’re really being ‘You’ in the full sense.

Speaking of inspiration… This month I was able to catch a moment with the super busy and talented Damien Leith. It was a real joy to hear him share his inspirational news and also talk about who has inspired him….
