Smile… it warms the heart and kisses the face of each passerby
Like a cool summer breeze it is refreshing, essential
Smile… It tickles the lips on unknown faces causing a chain reaction
And they don’t even know why or how it happened
Smile… because we have much to smile about.
Look no further than the bluest skies or rushing sea; how magnificent are our surroundings?
Smile… just because you can. In the knowledge that somewhere in the world
Someone is smiling with you…
A smile costs nothing yet it can give so much; joy, happiness, encouragement, acceptance. In a dark moment one smile can change a person’s focus from despair to hope. You see, we never know when a stranger needs that acknowledgement most and that is why it is important that we smile often, with love, from the heart.
Give smiles freely to family and friends. It is too easy to be hard on the ones we love the most. Soften any harsh moments with a kind word and then gently curl those corners of your mouth up to say more than the words ever could.
Oh, and did I forget to mention all the health benefits of smiling? There’s more to smiling than meets the eye – check the smile list here.
Smile… Your generosity will be rewarded many times over…
Live Blissfully

A catalyst for change, Yvonne Bignall is a breath of fresh air in the extraordinary way she helps women 50+ to reconnect with life & their innate power through radical self-care, guilt-free!
She supports, encourages, and inspires women to prioritise their health, one bitesize action at a time. Her work is challenging as it navigates through difficult conversations, listening & observing how women’s health issues have been:
❊ Undermined
❊ Under-resourced &
❊ Swept under the carpet
She helps women to recognise & unpack old scripts that still (sadly enough) tell them that their value derives from their level of caregiving of others, their output. The truth is it is the input, the ability to resource self, which provides women with the energy required to realise their true potential.
Along with her team, she explores the thoughts, behaviour & habits, often born out of guilt, gender expectations, and reinforced narratives, with curiosity (not judgment), discarding the unhelpful, whilst reclaiming innate power through the creation of new patterns, restoring a sense of self, outside of societal expectations. In her opinion, this allows women to:
✔ Develop an elevated level of self-awareness
✔ Build / rebuild their confidence & self-belief
✔ Value all of who they are and invest time in who they want to be at their best
A self-care warrior, an encourager & inspirer, Yvonne is today an award-winning Women’s Health Advocate, Published Author, and an International Presenter. She is also a Radio Show Host and a Podcaster.
Yvonne is focused on building a community of women, www.PermissionToThrive.online, who are ready to reclaim their right to self-care, guilt-free, and who prioritise their health without apology, role-modeling behaviour & habits that inform generations to come of their true value.
She also advocates for self-care over burnout in the workplace, delivering practical webinars in the corporate space. In her own words, “It is time for employees to prioritise their wellbeing. How will they deliver their best work without it?”
One of her favourite quotes comes from Eleanor Brown, ‘Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel’
