Behind the scenes
Hi, I’m Dawn
For most of us, life definitely has its ups and downs. There will be periods of great highs and joyful moments, but also times of struggles and challenges. While maintaining a positive attitude may not always be easy, I am a firm believer in at least trying to make the best out of any given situation – making lemonade out of lemons.
Healthy joyful living takes effort, and it involves more than just eating well and taking care of our physical bodies. It’s equally important to learn how to respect and nurture our mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
