First of all, let me start with a disclaimer: I am not a Mum blogger, I am an au pair.

Second, let me tell you how I’ve enriched (or at least I believe I did) a five-year-old’s life in the past few months. As some of you know, I moved to Rome last August, and I’ve loved my new job, my new friends, and overall my new life. The toddler boy in question has made my life richer and happier as well!

The Bloggerfly Effect and a Hundred Monkeys

Say what?

It starts with a blog post.

It can be a short post, a long post, a funny post, a sad post… no matter. Then people start reading it. For some, it evokes emotion (positive or negative or both), for others not so much. Some find it interesting, others bland. But whatever the outcome, there’s always an effect. Often enough, the effect goes beyond simply reading the post.

I’m now working on a weekly blog theme focusing on Positive Psychology exercises, which include gratitude, affirmation, signature strengths, etc. The founding father of Positive Psychology and current specialist in the field, Dr. Martin Seligman, opened up a delish can of worms back in 1999. It’s a baby field, really, but it’s growing and learning at the speed of light.
