Small Businesses Soaking Up The Sun
If I look happy – I am! Who wouldn’t be sunning themselves in Byron Bay? For 3 days, I have soaked up the sun, shopped, swam, ate, drank and done business with local Byron Bay residents.

Arranged Marriages – who would have thought?
Today, one of my most treasured team leaders returned from his summer vacation to announce his engagement to a beautiful, young Doctor from his home village.
Over the past few years, he has travelled back home every year and his parents have organised meetings with prospective wives.
Only this year something was different. He met a young lady that he thought would be his perfect life partner.
