“If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale
I’m a positive thinker. Nothing phases me nor do I allow anything to suck my mojo.
Three years back when I started Positive Provocations I had no idea I could consistently sustain a blog for so long. I didnt even think I had all this stuff inside me that needed to be written.
It seems like I have been nurturing Positive Provocations forever, like it was always meant to be. An attachment, a love, a feeling for this blog and all its beautiful readers is difficult for me to put into words. I’m overjoyed and swimming in gratitude for all the blessings this Positive Provocations community has brought me.
What Positive Provocations has achieved in the past 3 years:
- Created 3 healing ebooks for the readers: Best of Positive Provocations, Your Self healing Starter Kit & Positive Living Handbook.
- Has over 250 articles in the archives.
- Has attracted 462,000+ Beautiful Readers since april 2009.
- Has successfully counseled a little over 3000 souls through the free counseling service.
- Has written articles for and been mentioned on so many amazing Personal Development blogs all over the blog-o-sphere: The Bold Life, Balance In Me, Advanced Life Skills, Always Well Within, Everyday Gyaan, Dragos Roua, Jungle of Life, Change Your Thoughts, Evolving Beings, Change Warrior, Worlds Strongest Librarian, Healing with Juices, Unlimited choice, One Cool Site Blogging Tips, Quest For Balance…. (I’m creating a page with all the links to all the articles I have written. It should be up within the week for your reading pleasure.)
- Has had more than 50 writers/bloggers(other than me) share their voices in the form of guest posts here.
- Has a thriving Facebook Community of 2800+ ‘likes’ !
What Positive Provocations plans to achieve in the coming year:
- More positively healing articles.
- A new book which will be on sale on Amazon(Dec 2012 fingers crossed).
- The continuation of the Heart centered Blogging column each month.
- New columns that will start in May 2012: Self Reflection, Happy Relationships, Positive Challenge
- Many more writers will be sharing their voices here in the future too, for the sole purpose of lending a healing hand to the readers.
- So many more Free Giveaways 🙂
“Clouds may come, but clouds must go, and they all have a silver lining. For behind each cloud you know, the sun, or moon, is shining.”
As I look back at these past three years, there were times I wanted to just throw in the towel. I felt like I couldnt cope with a blog and life. But then I realised, this blog has become so much a part of my life…I couldnt just let it go. The hundereds of emails I answer every week to counsel souls, the countless people who have been helped through this site alone, is enough to keep me going forever. I’m gathering good blessings here….why would I ever want to stop? 🙂
My Vision for Positive Provocations
“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.” Mother Teresa
My vision for this blog is for it to be a ‘loving go to feel good space’ online. I want readers to feel at home when they come here. I want each soul who comes here to feel special. To feel like they matter, what they think matters. And yes, that we indeed can be happy and healed. I want everyone to feel loved and whole.
The New Look
You must’ve noticed by now that the Whole look of Positive Provocations has changed to more suit the readers needs. {if youre reading this in your email please click here to see the shiny new changes} Last month in the monthly newsletter I asked my darling subscribers what colors they would like the blog to be. What you see is what the majority chose in terms of colors. I will keep tweaking the design to best suit your needs, so please dont hesitate to share your thoughts. I’m listening.
Let me end this article today, where I celebrate 3 amazing blog years with my favorite Ho’oponopono blessing for you :
For without your love and support this blog wouldnt be where it is today.
With Immense Love & Gratitude,
