Toddlers and Tiaras

This show is one my guilty pleasures, it always manages to keep my attention and I think the girls (and guys!) are ultra cute.
However, I do think its a bit disgusting how intense some of the parents are. I don't know if its just an American thing but I have never seen so many stage mum's (mom's I guess??!) I mean seriously your kid is 14 months old and shes not doing a good job because shes running around on stage instead of blowing kisses or smiling?! What do most toddlers like to do?! Run around!!!!!!! I guarantee she won't even remember if she won that pageant or not.

Canada!!!

Ok I just decided in the last 5 mins that I AM going to Canada this year to visit my bestie, if the world really is ending in 2012 (which I highly doubt but anyway!) then I want to have lived every day and done what I wanted to do, and that starts with Canada!!

So my darling friend Lucy, when does it suit you to have me visit?? Let's plan!!!!!!

Epic Fail

Ok so I haven't posted on here in almost a year...pretty sure I fail as a blogger!
Lately I have been thinking about an idea for a book I want to write, I love writing so much, especially creative writing.
For a time I can escape to another world and be another person, I can be whoever I want and don't have to face any problems or consequences. Sounds like a perfect world but I think it's only perfect for a short amount of time.
I am trying to find an app for my Blackberry (did I mention it needs to be free?!) so I can write on my down time at work and on the go wherever I am and whenever I am inspired! So far I haven't been able to find one, they all seem to be for blogs and no offense but I'd rather not post my creative writing for the whole world where anyone could steal it and claim it as theirs...

I'm also reading a book my second mum gave me two years ago...yes it has taken me this long to be open to reading it! It's called 'Search for Significance' by Robert S. McGee. It is teaching me and showing me so much about myself and also God, he also backs everything he says with bible verses and I always love seeing new verses that really speak to me!

Well I shall continue on my endeavor to find this app for my phone, till next time follow bloggers

Honesty...

This week, I've been pleasantly surprised with learning about honesty.
I asked my friend a simple question about whether she would be attending a function in the weekend, instead of answering she changed the subject.
I found out through Facebook funnily enough that she did indeed go, a simple yes would have been sufficient to answer my question but, because she didn't answer I found myself wondering why she avoided it and didn't tell me.

Then today my friend and I had plans and when I text her to ask what she was doing she said she was having a hot chocolate, I knew she was with another friend of hers but when she was offered the chance to tell me the truth, she didn't. She said it wasn't like she was lying to me but I think that selectively telling someone part of an answer is still as bad as a lie and definitely hurts the same.

I don't lie to my friends, if they ask me something I always try to be as straight up as I can so when they don't respect me enough to give me the same courtesy it does hurt.
Whether its a big lie, a 'small' white lie, or just avoiding the question, honesty always prevents a situation from escalating and is always the better choice.

Revelations!

Instead of taking my usual shower today I decided to have a bath.
I love baths simply because it gives you so much time to think about anything and everything; life, friendships, dreams, work, school, love...anything you want!!
And I thought about pretty much all of the above within half an hour!

I am now determined to listen to my heart, I am going to follow my dreams and there is nothing to stop me from reaching them and many more of course! I am going to cherish the great friendships I have and any friendships I may lose or that may change I will not worry about and I will just accept that it is a path of life and whatever is meant to be will be.

Friends, family, dreams and love are some of the many gifts we have in life, we only live once so we have to make the most of it and live a life of continually amazing, life-changing moments.
I am so excited about this year and what it is going to bring!
Look out world, here I come!!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog :) this is going to be where I write about anything on my heart or mind, it might be a mix of what I'm listening to, what movies I'm watching, and what's happening.
Enjoy!
