Inner Freedom
Sometime’s people question where I get my energy from and this is what I believe.
You have the inner freedom to decide what you absorb every day.
No-one can tell you how to think. It’s impossible!
Take a day to really be aware of what you hear and read…
from friends and family to magazines, TV, adverts etc
If you’re absorbing drivvle no wonder you feel rubbish!
Your environment totally affects your mood.
It’s out of your hands to manipulate someone else’s freedom of thought.
But what you can change is yours… Don’t be sucked into the mud!
Step out of the box and be positive…
Take pride and watch your happy energy have a domino effect on others!
And… when you can find that sparkle of positivity,
wherever you are and whoever you’re with,
you’ve found one of the most powerful thinking skills and for life!
Thank you for reading, please leave a comment.
I would love to hear your thoughts.

Big. Big.. Big... School! :)
You think you’re an adult when you finish education… No, no, no!
This playground is massive, I’m talking huge and it’s called real life!
You get your gossipers, the laughs, the cries, the bullies, the falls and the magical helpers. But it’s not in a 50 metre square playground… it’s the world, its life. It just got bigger, that’s all J
So, when you think you know it all…
You’ve only just arrived at big, big, big school!
Daunting… But very exciting…

Believing...
The moment you stop believing, in time nobody will believe you.
You meet antagonists through your life. They are sent to try and test you but can also become your strongest ally. Used wisely their challenges will become food for your strength.
Every time you hear Nooooo, turn it around and believe (oops they just accidently said the wrong word) yes… Yes you can!
Whatever constructive criticism you are given, grab it with both hands, eat it, digest it and get rid of it. All the good nutrients will embellish you and all the rubbish will “evacuate the building”!
It takes courage and determination to change your mindset from “I’m no good” to “Yes I am.” But out of many no’s is a beautiful hidden Yesss… And your mission is to carry on seeking to find it!
And when it comes… It will be magic!

Values of Family Love
You don’t realise just how important those baby bath bonding years are until your much older. You see each other grow into their life adventures. But the deep ties of family blood will always be there. Brothers, sisters, cousins, parents, aunties, uncles and grandparents are so precious.
And its not until you step out of your working bubble and into Christmas cheer you realise just how important their spirits are and impact your growth as a person.
One of my life resolutions is no matter how busy life gets, always make time for family. Because they are part of your jigsaw and to keep your friendship alive takes nurturing.
Open your mind to connect to each other’s worlds. And as you grow the love you share will bring a pool of unconditional strength, love and happiness.
Family isn’t just for Christmas its for life, take them with you!
Smile Always :)

It Sort Of Just Happens...
But… How?
How does it just… happen?
Don’t you ever plan to do something and something else derives you into a whole new direction.
Take for instance your on a journey from A to B but somehow you forget F, get lost in G and P helps you find X and together you make your way through M and eventually get to B… Confused? Yep, so am I… But you get to B in the end… Hooray!
In the other words, life isn’t a simple direct route… Time doesn’t have a short cut, it just ticks! But within a lifetime of ticks are multiples of connections. Connecting pieces of information. It could literally take one phone call or forgetting your keys that could lead you to being two minutes late, meeting your future partner at the bus stop and one thing leads to the next….
Some people can’t help but think “What If”…. Well what about “if I hadn’t of done that… I wouldn’t have done this… And if I wouldn’t have done this… I wouldn’t have met…” It goes on…
Life’s an open door full of opportunities, moments of great things… You may not know how important that party was until 30 years later when you realise D gave you the idea to travel to S and there you made trillions oh and your best friend W met her future partner Q all in one night…… !
The more you learn from your families history and take time to reflect over your life… The more you start to see how everything just fits into place.
So when your lost in G and forget F, shrug your shoulders and smile… Don’t loose hope in the midst keep your faith and B will come. It may take a while but you’ll get there and on your journey make the most of every opportunities. Let’s face it a life full of all the letters in the alphabet would be much more fun than just going from A to B.

"The Pit of Shit"
No money… Annoyed… Angry… Mess… Noise… Burn’t toast… Late… Rushed… Tense… Worried… Scared… Cold Tea… Split Ends… Useless… No Good… Bags Under Your Eyes… Tired… Rubbish…
Experienced any of these?
It takes courage and determination to get yourself out of feeling miserable… but sometimes life takes you to these places…. and do you know what??.. It’s ok to feel. I mean if we weren’t to feel we wouldn’t be human… everyone has their downs in life and we all experience different challenges and hardships, in many ways.
You can end up in a very dark place.. this place I call “the pit of shit" the more you throw your toys out of your pram, feel rubbish the more "shit” gets chucked in! It can go on and on until you can hardly breath and it can be the hardest climb of your life to get out… quite literally.
So… How do I get out? How do I get out of feeling like this?
Everyone has different coping mechanisms… it’s a life lesson to learn… how to pick yourself up and carry on. Like the First World war tune says, “Pack up your trouble’s in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile.” There is no right or wrong. And we musn’t judge one person’s way of dealing with life’s difficulties to another.
Whatever you have been through however big or small is important because you feel it!
Through my blog i'm going to share with you my experiences, coping mechanisms and what I love and makes me happy. And through my journey I hope to inspire and bring happiness to you. :)
The first nudge I’ll leave you with is: to live a life in misery, let’s face it would be miserable! But to live a life in happiness would be amaazzzing! So… climb out of your pit, breath the fresh air, your alive, your here… Let’s go! :)
