About Positive Attitude Quotes
I love positive quotes! Positive quotes are little golden nuggets of wisdom – that make me think, challenge my mindset, and many times, help to change my perspective.

For years, whenever I came across a positive quote I would write it down in my journal, stick it on the bathroom mirror, and even the dashboard of the car. In 2005 I decided to create a blog and share some of my favourite quotes, every day, Monday to Friday. As a professional counsellor, and a person who learned to become optimistic, I realized that a positive quote could make the difference between having a good day or a bad day.

The response from people around the world was truly overwhelming. In 2007, I started adding a photograph to help illustrate the quote and the combination of the positive quote and photograph has been a huge hit.

From the beginning, I paid for the blog and donated my labour – which was really a labour of love. Over time, as other commitments (professional and personal) started to grow, I conscripted the help of two of my four children, Amy and Laura. Many, many times they filled in for me, posting the positive quotes, Monday to Friday in my absence. As the positive attitude quotes has grown, their support has become an indispensible asset. I am happy to have such a great project to work on with two great daughters! Thanks girls!

About Laura MacDonald

After developing an interest in the money markets, I  started investing in the stock market at the age of 18. I  went on to graduate with a finance degree, with honors, from the John Molson School of Business in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  I love to travel and have visited  countries all over the world including China, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Australia, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, and Cuba.

I have worked on Positive Attitude quotes over the past couple of years, filling for my mom when she was not able to do the quotes. Because of the popularity of our positive attitude quotes blog on Typepad, we decided to set up our own, stand-along blog. I took over the task of learning all about blogging and managing the Positive Attitude Quotes site has sparked my interest in blogging. As a result, I have started at  “Blogging for Business” consulting practice for entrepreneurs and small business owners.

I love Bikram yoga, and have practised different types of yoga for ten years. I also love surfing and photography – I took the photo at the top of this blog.
