      <image:title>Musings - How I Organized Our Wedding in 4 Weeks - There are some options depending on what you imagined on your wedding party but for us the Dj was the only option. Our family has a very wide range of taste in music and we’d rather have a good selection of different styles performed by a Dj as opposed to a live band which could be a little risky unless of course you know the band from experience. Make sure you book the Dj or Band well in advance - they can be booked up for months and months ahead. I also started a Wedding Music List on my phone - whenever I hear or remember a music that I knew we would love it on our wedding I add it to the list. I will send the list to our Dj before the wedding party and our music basically will be the mix of our favorite tunes.</image:title>

      <image:title>Musings - How I Won On The Slots In Monte Carlo - If you would like to know my tricks follow this fun guide</image:title>
      <image:caption>Always play on big machines i.e wheel of fortune, ignore the little ones Wait for a slot that has been played on for some time, even 10 mins would do AND the person did not win on it, just walked away - have a drink and walk around in the meanwhile, pretend you are just watching ;-) Always bet the highest bid! Pennies will not give you large win Be patient, don’t expect to win straight away Set a budget for yourself and do not exceed it Walk away if it doesn’t work, you can always play another time and just remember how much fun you had Gamble responsibly. Good luck!!</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Me - Professionally</image:title>

      <image:title>About Me - To share MORE about me was not always easy. Still, here I am: revealing my painful past - I come from a family that had issues with addiction (drug, alcohol…). My parents divorced when I was really young. As a child witnessed domestic violence. I lost a young sister in tragic circumstances.</image:title>

      <image:title>About Me - My personal experience with mental health challenges, working through traumas and getting better is why I am here and started my blog. I love helping people to reach their goals and leading quality family life through talking, sharing and making minor changes to achieve their dreams.</image:title>
      <image:caption>While sharing my stories, I am constantly studying &amp; learning to ensure I provide the best hands-on advice and support for my readers.</image:caption>
