Interview with Ricky Esterquest

Maggie O’Hara is a self-taught digital artist who lives in North Queensland, Australia. She is influenced by the beauty that surrounds her in the rainforests, tropical gardens and the Great Barrier Reef. Her distinctive personal style evokes positive emotions in her stylised pieces inspired by nature. Her compositions convey feelings of happiness and joy. 
She creates art for the soul. Her new 30 Day Grateful Heart Journal encourages us to use reflection, affirmation and gratitude to help support 8 areas of our life;  Mind, Body, Spirit, Heart, Home, Career, Money & Purpose.  
• Your Journal works on the premise of 30 days. Why is that?
• Why did you decide to create a Mindfulness Journal now?
• What lessons have you learnt through Journaling?
• You introduce a Circle of 8 attributes that make up our life, where did this inspiration come from?
• Can you give us a practical example of a Morning Intention followed by an Evening Reflection?
