Be a positive influence on those around you and positivity will come back to you in spades. The definition of Positivity: thinking in an optimistic way, looking for solutions, expecting good results and focusing on making life happier. My nickname in my sphere of friends is “Polly Positive.” It may sound naive, it is anything but naivety. As long as I can remember, while dealing with negative people or situations, I always endeavored to look for the bright side.

I recently moved to Knoxville, Tennessee — which is exactly 631 miles from my home of 25 years — Muskegon, Michigan. So I set out to meet new friends when I settled into my relocated home.
