22.01.2022 Congratulations to Ian Burns for an incredible single/video release. At one of our Carter & Carter songwriting retreats in 2019, I had the chance to work on this song with Ian and Mary Harrison. Then Simon Johnson from Hillbilly Hut recording studio and Duncan Toombs from The Filmery have added their own special touches and Ian has released a single/video that captures exactly what he set out to do. It's so inspiring to see a song go from creation to completion like this. Go ...and give it a watch, like it and leave a comment and support original Australian music. You can also be part of our songwriting retreats. See all the details at https://www.crestwayproductions.com https://youtu.be/4AVAE9LbG7I Ian Burns

12.01.2022 Merelyn is pretty excited to have another article published in positive living magazine LivingNow and she would like to share it with you. https://livingnow.com.au/thriving-within/ She would really love it if you would leave a comment on their website when you read the article to let them know you have been there. Here's an intro. ********************** No matter what our life circumstances are, it is rare that we will thrive without making the decision to do so.... Like many people, I lost the bulk of my paying work when the COVID-19 lockdown was implemented in Australia. After initially experiencing stress, (and if I’m being honest, a mild amount of panic), I decided I had to take charge of my choices... 10 strategies that help me thrive ‘within’ #1 I accept these circumstances... #2 I give myself permission to grieve... #3 I identify and take charge of my own choices... #4 I practice humbleness... #5 I have skills and strategies that are transferable... #6 I let go of fear... #7 I take great care of myself... #8 I choose to find new opportunities... #9 I learn new ways... #10 I choose gratitude... Read on...https://livingnow.com.au/thriving-within/ Enjoy and BE HAPPY. Merelyn #positiveliving #mentalwellness #blog #livingnowmagazine #ThrivingTogether #makingmyownchoices See more
