Charlotte Reed

When Charlotte Reed began suffering from depression in 2008, she decided to fight her illness by making lifestyle changes involving exercise, diet, and acupuncture. In addition, she began publishing an online “Thought for the Day” – a positive thought she posted on Facebook each morning. These daily mantras became a massive hit among her friends, as well as a healing exercise for Charlotte. She went on to publish them in a book, May the Thoughts be with You, which she hand-sold by the thousands at the world-famous Portbello Road Market in Notting Hill, London. Today, Charlotte has a weekly "Thought for the Day" in London's Evening Standard.
