    Exploring New Ways to PositLive

    March 11, 2021 /

    Today marks the two-year anniversary of the first blog post on this site. Since then, there have been full-length articles, poetry, and–more recently– short commentaries on insightful quotes. That means all of the content has been literary. But I realize it’s time to begin expanding the content on this site beyond words on a screen. Articles, poetry, and commentaries will continue. However, in addition to these, there’s something else that can help support our efforts to live life positively. It’s missing here. Yet, it’s VERY present in my personal life. That thing is music. I’m excited to announce a new category called PositLive Music, along with the newly created PositLive…

    Reflection: Is it Worth it?

    February 18, 2020 /

    It was only a little over a month and a half ago that I decide to add ads to this blog. Is it worth it? Well, if you’re someone who writes content on a website, don’t expect to make much through ad revenue unless you have an insane number of views. AND subjecting your readers to unwanted and pervasive ads just for $1 at the end of the month (literally) is just not worth it in my opinion. So, the ads are gone. The blog finally looks decent again. However, asking myself whether having ads is worth it or not made me begin to question whether this whole thing is…

    Living Life Poetically: “The Road”

    “There is no such thing as a ‘self-made’ man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.”

    I Hope You Don’t Mind

    A quick announcement. You might notice something a little different about this site that you hadn’t seen before. Pesky ads. There are a couple of things to note about this change. First, it’s my hope that they do not interfere with your reading experience. Second, they’re random and not chosen or endorsed by me. Feel free to ignore them. Happy reading, E.

    Thoughts of the Day

    November 21, 2019 /

    Ever read or heard a particularly inspiring quote? Or maybe it was a piece of advice, a thought, or even a question. One or two lines with profound meaning that just made you stop in your tracks to reflect. I’m excited to introduce a new blog category called “Thought of the Day”. This new section will feature things like a quote, thought, or advice, followed by a short debrief. Consider it a quick dose of inspiration and reflection to add to your day. And with fewer words, you’re more likely to be able to view all the content right from the homepage–without having to click “read more”. Even better, you’ll…

About Me

Hi! My name is Esthella, creator and author of PositLive. I am a curious life-long learner, chocolate addict, coffee and tea lover, and foodie. I enjoy writing, music, and art, as well as good books, coffee shops, libraries, spending time with friends and family, conversations, and deep thoughts…I’m talking deep. However, my serious side is rivaled by a fun and sometimes silly side; and a conversation about the meaning of life can easily transition to the latest episode of some ridiculous tv-show or something else not so serious.

I consider it somewhat of a blessing that life has given me plenty of lemons. On the bright side, I’ve had to make plenty of lemonade while gaining perspective and appreciation for three critical areas of well-being: Mind, Body, and Soul. In sharing my thoughts and insights in these areas, I genuinely hope to help you live life positively.

PositLive is like my lemonade stand. I have made plenty of lemonade that I want to share. This site is here for you to retreat to whenever you need your daily serving of something sweet in the midst of life’s sour challenges, difficulties, and setbacks, which we all experience from time to time. So take a sip. Read, reflect, and restore.
