Accomplished artist and art teacher, guest speaker Christine Andrews, gave a truly thought provoking talk on the importance of your thoughts. Youthful and enthusiastic, she soon had everyone pondering about how their thinking affects their feelings and then behaviour.
Thought patterns that have often been carried over from your parents and grandparents should be checked for relevancy now, as life can only be as good as one’s mindset.

Thanks to Christine, who echoed in a warm and wonderful modern way the thoughts of American minister Norman Vincent Peale (1898 to 1993) who wrote ‘The Power of Positive Thinking’.
