Elayna Fernandez ~ The Positive MOM
October is the National Bullying Prevention Month. The topic of bullying has become some sort of a trending one that has everyone talking. Bullying, however, is not a new issue.

When I quit 9-to-5 ten years ago to start working from home, what I longed for was the freedom to “BE THERE” to influence my children, impact other people with my skills, and generate the income that could afford us a …
We all have dreams, wishes, and great ideas, yet everyone I know who is wealthy, healthy, and happy, AKA successful at making their dreams come true believes in – and practices – the power of goal-setting. Napoleon Hill, the author of “Think And Grow Rich” {and unarguably the “father of personal development”} once said that …
