Ups & downs

Date 14 December 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
We can’t have ups without downs, a negative without a positive, a good without a bad, so perhaps that’s the way we need to look at life too. Our excitement wouldn’t be excitement without understanding our struggles before we get to be excited. Life is full of ups and downs,…

Dealing with the whole

Date 30 November 2015
Author Ilana Estelle

Author Ilana Estelle
