Article: Embracing Choice
When we realise we can move beyond our "stuckness" in all areas of our lives, the world opens up for us, suggests Dr Charmaine Saunders.
Choice is freedom. Choice is power. This is what I constantly tell my counselling clients. Many people feel "stuck" in their lives, relationships, mistakes, the past, problems, beliefs, limitations and so on.

- Things we're grateful for that happened in the previous 12 months
