Group hug anyone?

GO! Smell the flowers aims to make you think and laugh at the same time. Some task but we're getting there!

It works on many levels -first it is exactly what your are doing now - linking, discovering and sharing, maybe even when you should we working?

Ran by a Mr and Mrs combo, Jim and Emma based in Dubai, we find social networking a break from the norm and proof that we're all looking to rebirth the community feel that society can sometimes knock out of us.

When we resigned from the heights of corporate marketing to see the places we?d always wanted to see. We took a gamble, a journey into the unknown and time out to ask what it?s all about.

At Jims farewell lunch the Regional President of Jims company said?

We'd all love to get out of the rat race - We wish you look on your travels. Enjoy it when you smell the flowers?

At the time these words didn't mean alot to Jim who had previously bitten the heads of flowers rather than smelling them but as time moved on and countries were visited the phrase stayed with the couple as they joked about smelling the flowers.

Emma was adamant that Jim ?smelt the flowers?and they did exactly that with 10 months out which included a marriage proposal on Macchu Picchu, a beach blessing in Thailand and are now writing up their travels whilst back in the Rat Race!

The GO! Smell the flowers blog is a pre cursor to our book, GO! Smell the flowers, which aims to inform, entertain and enlighten people from all over our increasingly smaller world.

Why wait until you?re dead and pushing up flowers from the grave?

Life is too short and we endeavour to inspire people and help them discover their reason to be and be the best they can?or at least think about what they can change in their life for the better?..who doesn?t want that?

Maybe a change in YOUR life is due? It could be a career break, drinking and eating less, starting a new hobby, spending more time with the kids, saying no more or discovering the merits of a group hug. GO! Smell the flowers is not just a cue to head off around the world but making changes for the better to help people realise their dreams.

What about having the courage to write that book you've always wanted to? Blogcatalog can help you turn your blog into a book which is what we're well on our way to doing.

Happy linking and we hope to be part of your circle! Subscribe to go smell the flowers, buy lorry loads of flowers off us or at least link to us so we can help change the world. OK?

Now about that group hug!
