It is called the law of attraction. If we are positive we will attract positivity into our lives. Visualise success and play the movie of your future and how you want it to be every single day, and the impossible will become possible.

People of the Tribes: Meet Taran.

Mon, Mar 04, 2019

I am Taran Stakem and I'm a street musician, this is commonly referred to as a busker and this is why I like Galway.

This has certainly given me a unique style and it's paid off as I have gigs coming up at the Tiny Traders Market which is up and running on March 16th.
