Choosing to Smile

You will be "stoked' with this 'thriving' conversation with my guest Cheree Stokes.   Cheree shares her life's journey to date as a 'too white not black enough' aboriginal woman who decided she had a choice to smile everyday regardless of what happens in day to day life.   Listen in as Cheree gives us a gift of inspiration and courage to ponder - her family background, growing up with abuse, raising her own four children, realising her artistic creations could be a sustainable business. Cheree takes us on a 'road trip' where she illustrates that we are responsible for our own feelings and we can change our thinking habits and patterns.   'I refuse to let other people win' is a mantra Cheree lives by along with three daily intentions: 1. Absolute trust and belief in the universe and her ancestors, 2. Being open to lessons or opportunities as a blessing, and 3. Gratitude - feeling blest for the life she has.   I hope you enjoy Cheree's story of thriving to date - her journey hasn't finished by a long shot! check out Cheree's work https://www.originalartbycheree.com/about-me.   I would love a little love as well - share and review this episode with family, friends and colleagues. You are precious and your #thrivingmatters.
