Congrats blog finalist and my teaching
Congratulations to all finalists in the Best Australian Blogs 2013 Competition. link
As much as I am sad didn't make it, am greatly relieved and I know those that did make it are deserving. If you have gotten this far, good luck :D and blog on...
Haven't said but have changed schedule, you never really know whats around the corner in life, so be prepared for unexpected. I am now homeschooling my disabled daughter, I already home school my other kids. At first was like how am I going to do this as my daughter does not talk, she is 15 years old. When I was pregnant my other daughter who was 2 years old at the time who is age 16 now got Meningococcal, a very scary thing to catch and we are so lucky shes is a live and all she has really trouble from it, is slight pains in the knee once in a while. My daughter, one I was pregnant with was badly effected, I got sent straight to hospital to have ultrasound and advised to have an abortion. I was against the idea of killing a life, especially a baby, and my husband was unhappy of the idea and wanted seek other opinions, doctors weren't sure hundred percent whether she would be a vegetable, I think I was pretty big at the time as it was so long ago, going on maybe 7 months pregnant. So as you know she is now 15 years old, she looked unwell at aged 10 and a good doctor found she had a hole in her heart. And which she had heart surgery which was also scary but she fully recovered and in a lot healthier and happy state. She cannot talk, though she is very smart, doctors said she would never walk, she runs terrific these days.
Things changed with schooling and now am homeschooling her since after Easter holidays. With my other kids, I never thought I would be homeschooling was very much against it, I mean what can I teach my kids, but truly was a blessing in disguise, the kids had suffered bullying at the school, so we took them from one school to another only finding the teachers there was just as bullying. What I and my kids been able to do is wonderful, they actually learnt far more from me teaching them, then in school, took a while but their self esteem from the bullying is much better then when they were at school and found my love for teaching.
So can I home school my disabled daughter. We are making wonderful progress was a challenge, I can only see it getting better from here. At first I didn't see that, so I am really happy and over joyed with her progress and being able too.
My older daughter who is 16, her drawing competition ends 28 of April so soon will be able share her wonderful graphics's, she is excited and both can't wait for results.

A picture says a thousand words
There is a saying a picture is worth a thousand words, what does this
say to you when you have 7 pictures in your home of the same thing, can
this reflect on your life and personal relationship's Marie Diamond from
the secret tells us about a man..continued, drawing can be more powerful then we think, man and his drawings of Mercedes Benz,
we don't dream in words, we dream in pictures, be aware whats in your surroundings and images you hold in your mind.
I love pictures, a friend of mine had an almost obsessive thing about posting pictures. I never really thought much of it till it became something I like to do. Looking at beautiful pictures and quotes really feels nice, like an inner nice, and sharing feels good, especially when other people share also. I think that's why things like facebook, google and other sharing sites, work. There's a sense of joy and communication. You can almost tell a lot about a person by what they share, are they positive happy people, are they negative and talk of worries a lot. How can drawings and pictures effect us? Do pictures help you over come and appreciate things?
This story is about a little girl my daughter knew.
~Rosey and the clown~
There was a little girl called Rosey that came and played with my daughter. She missed my daughters birthday and just wanted to visit. My daughter led her to her bed room. Rosey shuddered at the sight of the clown my daughter had made that she stuck on the door. I asked her what was wrong, she exclaimed her great fear and dislike for clowns. Funny thing was, I read an article about how we create fear by constantly fearing it. So I explained to Rosie, by appreciating the clown she will no longer fear it. Just one thing, what do you appreciate about it? Now Rosey was fond of the colour red, and my daughter’s clown had a bright red nose, and I told her just keep appreciating more things, just one thing more then another. Then I left those two be. Well she left later on, I didn’t see her again until a month later when she revisited my daughter. To my surprise the two girls decided to draw, her drawings were of clowns. I exclaimed to Rosey. “I thought you were afraid of clown’s.” Where upon she smiled. “Not anymore!”
If this little girl can lose her sense of fear through appreciation. Appreciation is gentle and softens the heart. What can others lose the fear of through facing and appreciating.
This reminds me of a man I saw on the news, it was funny this man that got attacked by the shark then next thing you know instead of fearing the shark he was helping protect them, and his job ended up his life work, was with the sharks. I think originally before he got bitten by the shark he did fear them.

Movies peace and passion
This is last day of the Easter holidays, and I have enjoyed the relaxed pace and my kids enjoyed their holidays now back to studying tomorrow for them.
Two movies I'd like to share that I found really great that I had watched recently. Hugo, with Jude Law and directed by Johnny Depp, I near fell over when saw end credits that Johnny Depp directed it, it was well done. If you love movies like me, you will especially love this movie as it is about creation and love for making movies and it is so much more then that, it goes straight into the heart of losing love, being in loneliness, finding own purpose and love found. I'd love to spoil more but this is a much watched and delightful movie one for all ages. So definitely a good for family and friends to watch together.

I'd love to spoil more but this is a much watched and delightful movie one for all ages. So definitely a good for family and friends to watch together.
This second movie I like to share is The Guardian's, this is one also for the family, young and old, great animated movie, starring Alec Baldwin and Hugh Jackman and more. What I love about this movie is bringing the power in belief to save the planet, the Guardians, being who bring all faith in the good spirit such as Santa clause, Easter bunny, the Tooth fairy and more such as the Sandman and Jack Frost. It really is a delightful film that even afterwards my husband went out and bought the movie for the kids, we viewed this film from payed Utube movies. It really is a movie for all those who love those much loved icons of Christmas and Easter and the young wishful spirit, kids will love the animation especially from the magic of the Sandman and his magic sand that shifts into all sorts of dream shapes.
I like to write and share what I feel is good and useful and what I feel passion to write about, so I don't always write as much as I'd like to. So I apologise if you are following me, that its a good time in between each writing.
I have been creating with much enthusiasm, which I been wanting to create for a while. I love quotes and really enjoy people who share quotes with images in the background and recently been creating just for the fun of creating what I can do. My theme is peace as my thoughts are of Korea and their anger at others. I really do hope they find a peaceful solution, as I think they think they are at war with one country but in actual fact the war they promise is really to all life, to all people, what they do to this planet effects everyone. You only have to look at the past Hiroshima war, what it did to the land, to the people, war is not the way and that is all will really say about that, as I don't believe in dwelling on problems either. Makes me think of the quote ~ Worry does not empty tomorrow of it's sorrow. It empties today of it's strength.
The only corner of the world I can help is the one I'm in and being a mum, yes I need my strength, so each day is a new day to do my best and give my best. What good can I do today.
I will be sharing soon just some wonderful drawings my daughter has been sharing, especially one recent, my daughter has entered a drawing competition, so soon will be sharing how with simple paint programme on your computer and some great talent can really make awesome art. I am confident my daughter will win, mainly because my daughter shared how the entries are same level as her drawings, but what I saw her put in, was amazing compared to the other entries, you can really see the love and passion she put in.

What have you got that can help you
Not talking about things, but something much more that adds more to life.
If you feel energetic and have great zest for life you can pass through, but if you are curious and missing that something, that vitality, that energy then read on.
Really be aware of the words that come to you and the energy they hold.
What makes you smile? What makes you jump out of bed in the morning, really excited for life? When was the last time you had a real good laugh? Isn't it funny when you take time to ask questions, you start to see things near different. Not now but later really write down what makes you smile, what happens if you did more of what made you smile. They could be simple things that could make you smile, it could be simple things that could make you smile, it could be talking to a friend, enjoying that hot coffee, going to the movies, watching the sunset, enjoying nature, seeing a family member happy, could be that roller coaster ride, after or before results of work you done, reading a book, a fishing trip, the list goes on......Those little things add more to your life. Life is pretty simple when you learn to appreciate life and do what you love, you start feeling a passion you never thought you had or lost. Take up something new or do something artistic. If you feel you have so much to do already and no time. Remember this quote.....The
If you always do what you always done, you'll always get what you've always got.~Dan Hayes
The more you give to life, the more you find life opens up to you in a whole new level.
So what have you got that can help you? Your joy, your passion for life, your own outlook to life can change with just a little joy. Instead of seeing life as a struggle. You start to see everything you do makes a difference. Don't think the things you do mean nothing, everything you do means everything. When you become a doer, you start to see mountains move, in a different sense.
Something happens to a man who believes in his own potential, doors open where he saw none before.
When you realise how simple and joyful life can be, "content" is a better word, instead of seeing life half full, your cup of life runneth over. When you start to feel inner doubt or fear, really question where that came from. May joy and inner peace always be with you.
If you feel energetic and have great zest for life you can pass through, but if you are curious and missing that something, that vitality, that energy then read on.

Power of mind
The subconscious mind is an extraordinary mind, the things in your mind can believe, things to be true and bring them about everyday many people have some sort of cancer or illness but how many believe they have a possibility to be cured. How can man understand that underlying there is a possibility he created the illness. I don't know if anyone here is sick, but always be aware to look for cures and one of the cures is usually not outside yourself but usually a inner mental belief.
There was a man I heard got called by a doctor that he was going to die and not long to live, the man died at the estimated time, the sad part was the doctor had told the wrong patient.
There was a man who kept saying over and over, he would give his right hand to help his daughter and one day he tried to save his daughter and lost his arm. Be aware of the thoughts you think. Dr. Joseph Murphy's shared that man's story in his book,“The Power of Your Subconscious Mind.
Search and you shall find. With power in belief in ones self all things are possible. You can have an improved life. All things are possible when you believe, there is possible cures and healing a better way of life. The power of self love is the most wonderful cure for ailments. When you love yourself all things are become possible and changeable. Our most basic tool in this world is the Internet, all things in this world is also in the Internet, it is a useful tool for research from scientific studies, look for cures, look for solutions, look for personal success stories others share, its funny when you look, you will find anything you are looking for, if you search for problems you will find it, if you search for happiness you will also find it. There is a quote. Stop looking for the magic, you are the magic.

Just ponderings
It's funny when you are vigilant with your mind, you are more aware of your mind it gets quieter. When you are ready with a pen to paper taking note of your thoughts. Your mind becomes quieter. When you try to write and take note of the negative thoughts of your mind. It becomes quieter. Maybe being in the state of awareness quietness the mind. Great for peace of mind but bad for writers block. ~Just ponderings~

One joy scatters a hundred griefs
One joy scatters a hundred griefs~Chinese proverb I was looking at this simple quote other day, isn't it funny and how true this is, sometimes unknowingly you find joy in something and for that timeless moment all is forgotten. I am like that in the garden while am busy beautifying and working and absorbed for the moment then a distraction of a fluttering butterfly will fly past, birds chirping and crickets making that funny odd chirpy noise. I am reminded how wild and beautiful earth is. That's why I think I love photo's, pictures of nature and nature documentaries. When you look at the world as amazing it makes you feel good. There is so much healing from the plants to the scenery, if you just take one component away such as trees we would not survive without oxygen for very long. This earth helps sustains us and it shows us everyday without fail the wonder and energy of the earth. Great is the sun that brings us warmth and help plants grow, and the rain and water that each life needs and thrives. There is much more to our lives then today's worries and gotta do's. When we see something wonderful there is something deep in us that reflects back at us, could it be joyful or love and appreciation, when you do more to grow this wonder and passion within you, you find an inner energy that expands you to be more. There is more life in you.
I've had the complete opposite of that feeling in the past where your mind wonders from fear to fear, there is always something. You only have to talk to someone, and they have something, something to worry, something to fear. When people fear, their is stress to the body, that big added stress to their life. I have friends who are up and down emotionally and feel life is like a roller coaster. I seen my past and I see them now, and the only thing different from me then and me now is my thoughts. How powerful our daily thoughts are to each persons life.
Quote~ If you want to change the world start with yourself~Gandhi
This quote is very true, we find balance with our self and we change the world. What happens with each individual instead of at war and anger at everyone, new life started with them, if we act from a place of peace, and our mind at peace, does this not effect how we feel towards others, feel towards ourselves and all life. Mans thoughts create conflict but it also creates life. The only way to change ourselves is keep what nurtures, what helps, what strengthens. All could be great and you could be blessed with so many things in your life, but if you are busy worrying endlessly you are not blessed you are at war. Peace begins with us.
Why do angels fly~because they take themselves lightly. Take this world lightly with kind eyes and a bit of humour, always find something that makes you smile or another to smile and you'll find this world brings you much peace and it starts with you. When you are for the world you are strong, when you are against the world you are weak. Anger weakens, love strengthens. ~Wishing all a great week a head~.

Dream goals passions and gifts
Something I wrote, been meaning to share. been caught up in other things. But all good. Hope it inspires.
Dream goals passions and gifts
I believe in miracles, everything is coming together, you have none to fear bare fear itself, so don't fear, you have to recognise something good in you and worthy of a good life. That is something no one can do for you or anyone, that is something a gift can do for self. Its like you found a candle in you that is going to shine bright, never forget it,
Part of a poem I wrote.... its goes like this
I am the spark that lights up the world that seems so dark, and all it is, is through the heart.
Never forget the drive that got you there, and to keep that drive in your heart always, it's easy to forget that we can make good changes in our lives especially when going gets tough, or may be gets tough when we forget.
Our dreams and gifts
You were given the dream because you love it, the more you love something the better it becomes, so find the joy of it again and put more love in it and it will reward you, more joy you find in it, find new ways of being the best you can be. But get past the belief that you deserve little, because you will only get what you believe. And if you see an opportunity to go on a talent competition or any other go for it, believe in yourself and the love with what you do. And if you don't win it doesn't mean you failed just keep going for it and loving it, and the more you will find opportunities come your way.
There is a good feeling doing more towards what you love.
A friend I know has a dream his kept alive for so long, It is a yearning, he has put a lot of passion into it, his music, but some part of him had put his dreams in the back burner as if it was only a dream. We all hold some sort of dream and passion, and fear of may be failure, may be not feeling good enough, can keep our dream’s in a hidden part of ourselves, and if we keep resisting that passion for our dreams we can almost just shut that door on ourselves. Until one day we pick it up again, open that door and add more enthusiasm and hope to it.
When is it to late to pick up back into your passion and dreams?
While you are still (living and breathing) it's never to late, and the drive that got you there is always there, and can be some how stronger, and water it with more passion and love can become more magic. If that is something you want, and you would like to continue then add faith and passion.
Faith and words to keep close to your goal/heart
*Everyone has some sort of passion, those who succeeded never gave up. Why give up something you love?
*You have been given that dream because you love it, the more you love something the better it becomes, so find the joy of it again and put more love in it and it will reward you, the more joy you find in it, brings you more drive.
*Each day I feel clearer and my path clearer, the path to my passion/goals is the path to happiness and I just feel happy doing more towards it.
*Find new ways of being the best you can be.
(have you noticed those who do timed competition’s such as swimming, can beat their own score, and beat it again, the more repetition, the more they improve.
*Try not to compare yourself with others. When you don’t do so great, you could lose drive if you feel you don’t do as well as someone else. Just do your best.
*Remember the old quote: Rome wasn’t built in a day. So don’t go doing it all at once and wearing yourself out.
*One step forward, brings you closer, keep looking forward keeps you headed in the right direction.
*Get past the belief that you deserve little, because you will only get what you believe.
*If you see an opportunity for example, a talent competition go for it, believe in yourself and the love with what you do. And if you don't win it doesn't mean you failed just keep going for it and loving it, and the more you give to your goal/passion, you will find opportunities come your way.
*One thing to always keep a note of, is to expect good outcomes, see yourself happy, doing what you love. When you can imagine yourself smiling and completing your goal, gives you a new sense of drive.
There is another way some people are good at, (imagining the worse) and it really drives them out of their dream and fizzles your faith in what your doing. So always to note to yourself to imagine the best.
~~~~Always follow your heart, you know what is best for you
*If you never try you will never know
*If you feel inspired who knows what will come to you.
*All good ~great habit to say, especially when all is good. All good.

When is it to late to pick up back into your passion and dreams?
While you are still (living and breathing) it's never to late, and the drive that got you there is always there, and can be some how stronger, and water it with more passion and love can become more magic. If that is something you want, and you would like to continue then add faith and passion.
Faith and words to keep close to your goal/heart
*Everyone has some sort of passion, those who succeeded never gave up. Why give up something you love?
*You have been given that dream because you love it, the more you love something the better it becomes, so find the joy of it again and put more love in it and it will reward you, the more joy you find in it, brings you more drive.
*Each day I feel clearer and my path clearer, the path to my passion/goals is the path to happiness and I just feel happy doing more towards it.
*Find new ways of being the best you can be.
(have you noticed those who do timed competition’s such as swimming, can beat their own score, and beat it again, the more repetition, the more they improve.
*Try not to compare yourself with others. When you don’t do so great, you could lose drive if you feel you don’t do as well as someone else. Just do your best.
*Remember the old quote: Rome wasn’t built in a day. So don’t go doing it all at once and wearing yourself out.
*One step forward, brings you closer, keep looking forward keeps you headed in the right direction.
*Get past the belief that you deserve little, because you will only get what you believe.
*If you see an opportunity for example, a talent competition go for it, believe in yourself and the love with what you do. And if you don't win it doesn't mean you failed just keep going for it and loving it, and the more you give to your goal/passion, you will find opportunities come your way.
*One thing to always keep a note of, is to expect good outcomes, see yourself happy, doing what you love. When you can imagine yourself smiling and completing your goal, gives you a new sense of drive.
There is another way some people are good at, (imagining the worse) and it really drives them out of their dream and fizzles your faith in what your doing. So always to note to yourself to imagine the best.
~~~~Always follow your heart, you know what is best for you
*If you never try you will never know
*If you feel inspired who knows what will come to you.
*All good ~great habit to say, especially when all is good. All good.

You are the one you are looking for, you are the answer
You are the one you are looking for, you are the answer, you are the magic. There are so many teachers showing you your greatness, but only one can open the door, and that is you, people can show you how to believe in yourself, but only you can decide to believe in yourself.
One thing I have found is, what you repeatedly do becomes a habit. One habit that was hard for me to break from was smoking, it has been three years and am so glad to be free from that habit. It can be smoking or any other habit, some habits can seem they have power over you, but there is something in you that has more power to over come anything.
There was a good friend I met, I didn't realise he was a teacher at the time, "teacher", as in anyone who inspires and teaches you to be better. Anyone can be your teacher, your parents, schools, quotes, someone, anything that inspires you, to do well, be better.
This friend was studying Buddhism, what he kept motivating and inspiring me to do was meditation. This is the best daily habit I been doing or when I can.
You want peace, happiness, all those are in you, when you learn to meditate, you start to realise peace is attainable on earth, probably not all at once, but you do realise how habitual thoughts are. If there is one thing good you learn in this life, is that peace and happiness is attainable, and its within yourself, when you find peace with yourself, you find peace in life.
There is probably 101 tutorials to do meditation. Here's a simple one, to sit cross legged hands on knee's, eyes closed. Just sit in silence, awareness of breath. Sometimes if your mind can't be silent is to smile, I find its good energy to smile and something to keep me focused on. Some can sit for hours meditating, but as long as you can do 5 minutes that is more then enough. Just a little meditation can give a calm mind.
What is this magic, this power in you? When you find this inner peace in you, you start to shine, you realise you don't need to be no yoggi meditating on a hill top, to find peace, you don't need to find happiness in someone else, when you find this inner zest in you, you are the power, the passion, you are the driving force.

Feel tired, feel flat, drained
Feel tired, feel flat, drained.....
Do you ever get like that?
I used to feel like that, tired sluggish, wonder what is wrong with me, maybe getting old, I'd check for white hair, arg where did that come from, another one, yikes. Old? I am only under 30's how could I be getting old. (I am now35)I started to be aware of things. Do you ever see that, someone who is young good looking is only 50 years old, then you see another 50 years old person who looks older then 50 years old looking close to 70-80. You know somethings up with each individual life. Some people seem to handle life fair different then another. When it comes to every ones point of view, one thing can mean different things to other people. Say earth, some will all drive to their own view, polluted, is a war zone, some totally passionate about life, some dispassionate. The subject could be anything and we will all hold our own opinion.
What keeps people young and energetic? What creates well being?
When was the last time you had, "You", time? Does spending time on yourself make you young?
When I was feeling flat, tired, I was too busy helping everyone, when you are a mum or someone with so many things on their plate or responsibilities, you feel tired so many things to do, need to help them or do this, over scheduled, feeling like you are in a rat race, no time.Some days you feel flat, edgy, snappy.
When was the last time you sat down and enjoyed that cup of coffee, took that time for that nice luxurious bath, wrote that poem you wanted to do, just went out and had a good time, go fishing, took time to watch the stars or sunset, took the time to do that thing you always want to do, whether it is watching that movie or read a book. When you look after yourself, and treat you good, you don't feel so empty, when you are giving so much to everybody and not enough to you, you run dry, you feel very tired and little to give. You can start blaming things, its the weather, it's the kids, the husband, the boss, neighbour and their dog, worry of the news, the family drama, you blame those around why you don't feel so good.
But you are the number one person who can make time for you, so next time you don't feel so great or feel tired headache, stop and take time for yourself, it will do you a load of good, just to take that time to enjoy something. You know when you are on track when you got loads of energy and smile more, and feel great.
Being a mum I realised I ran myself dry, you are no good to anyone when you have nothing to give, but when I gave to me, looked after me I had so much more to give plus more. When you give to yourself, you always feel young, energetic. Never let yourself run dry.
Here's some more idea's found for, "You", time :D link

Free to create
I should write things down when I get inspired to write, sometimes I get like that, flood of what to write and if I had not written it down, I let it go forgotten, what was I thinking? Not all the time some times its plain in your face drive to write, soon as possible will type it out. Just great to let it go, put it out there. Why keep things to yourself, share it, who knows who will be interested, or inspired whether it be a novel in your mind, your mind is like a creative tool, it is helpful to you when you need it. Your mind is forever expanding when you use it, my daughter surprises me with her excellent drawings, when she gets the urge she draws and wows everyone out, I seen this young girl from drawing stick images to cute Pokemon and other cute pictures, now there is no limit, from animation, to anything she observes, funny thing is it didn't just stop at drawings, anything she decided to create, whether it be clay modelling, origami even hand stitched cute dinosaurs. I think its important all young kids are free to paint and create, who knows the extraordinary power of each individual, when they allow themselves to be free to explore their passion.

What is the meaning of life?
What is the meaning of life? Is it meant to be about struggle and stress or is there something more? This is a funny question, this is not the first time I have asked this question and I will not be the last. A good friend told me a man near a cafe she was at all of a sudden fell down, police and ambulance came, no one knows if he lives. This was just couple days ago, she now feels happy to be alive and realise how short life can be. Today I went for a drive with family, on the way at the side of the road some accident a car was off the road, my husband went to help, see if they were okay. Both men were a little bit rattled, their car had spun three times and were lucky to be alive. A bus going the other way, think two tires had come off, which were not done up properly which went bolting under their car and spun their car off the road, car was a bit of a wreak, both men know they are lucky to be alive, the one man who owned the car was happy he didn't have his wife kids in the car as this was his family car. Some aren't happy about life, some are realising how short life is and to appreciate and hold what is dear.

I like to focus on the good
What creates happiness in me, is focusing on the good, what disempowers me is focusing what is wrong, focusing on the news, lots of silly worries that each day can hold, they are there if you want to look for them. What I find in my life and many peoples lives, we are the one responsible creating our own happiness and well being. If you are feeling stuck, if you feel lack of energy, feeling sick, feel depressed, lack of joy and vitality to life. Well guess what you can turn things around, by everyday your choice, focus on what empowers you. Change your mind and you change your world, new perspectives, show you what you didn't see before. When you view life as constant struggle or lifeless, understand you will have lots of days where you will feel overwhelmed. What if you decide from this moment on, you decide that life is good, what does bring you well being? What makes you feel empowered and feel great? Is there such a path, yes!!!
I like to focus on the good because it makes me feel great, before I had no idea, I had that power, I felt tired and felt like something was wrong with me, I never thought what I was thinking about had any power. But it did have power much more then I realised. My mind gave me tunnel vision of my future, all I saw was nothing good, nothing good happened you know, so on, people struggling in different parts of the world, I was aware of peoples pain, and people shared their struggle, with their life or illness with them or someone else. What I didn't realise was focusing on all these things disempowered me. I had my own beliefs and others had their own beliefs. I had this question seeker inside of me. Is life really meant to be a struggle. Can life be good, this seeker in me found so many questions, but answers to them, but yes little by little I saw the power inside each individual person, the power to create a good life is in you. When you feel empowered, you feel good about life, when you focus on the good, you feel more energy, when you are enthusiastic and passionate about life, life has a whole new light. By appreciating what you do have.
Quote~ We never know the worth of water till the well is dry, Thomas Fuller.
Why wait to appreciate anything till its gone, truly savour and appreciate each thing and person you do have. That's a journey in it's own, you might not realise what you do have, just imagine going without what you have, the people you love, the things that make life comfortable, the food that you eat, the very breath of your life itself. Writing things down holds power write 10 things you do appreciate today, why not make that a daily habit. It is surprising what appreciation does for your life, health and happiness.
Isn't it funny don't you think a man healed himself by laughter Norman Cousin's
By looking at life lightly we have already begun to change our world, it's up to you to choose a good life to choose what you focus your mind on. When you feel disempowered, understand its your thoughts that lead the way. What you focus on is how you will feel. You want to feel great and you will, you want to feel healthy and you will. Read, search and you will find many answers.
Don't be unlimited by these, look for more inspiration, that are everywhere.

Another interesting video to watch you can watch now, is Placebo, this gives you an idea of the power of the mind to heal. Explore your world, explore the power of your own mind, investigate well being, what creates health and happiness in people? How do you make you happy? Does letting go of stress empower you? When you focus on the good more, your life blossom's, you even feel better. If days you don't feel so good, understand the mind is a funny thing, man has a funny habit to dwell on the negative. You only have to watch the daily news to see that. Feeling not so good is temporary, nothing is stagnent things always change, you will not be angry 24 hours 7 days a week, treat each new day as unique and new, be open to new possibilities, new idea's. You don't have to search far and wide for peace of mind, power is inside of you aready. :D

Feng shui and an interesting biography
I had so many feng shui books but never got into it till found this
book, wow this women got me cleaning ovens, fridge, lounge, got me seeing
things I had not thought of, my major is not house cleaning, this
really energised the house, its not about house cleaning and is her own feng shui style and spiritual healing insight, like the heart is the
kitchen, the lounge room is the living area, just really
like how she motivated me, I see
the house as all sacred now as she leaves no dust unturned, every little bit
you avoid shows how your persistent with life, just funny insights from
her book Spiritual Housecleaning: Healing the Space Within by Beautifying the Space Around You.
I have not read many Biographys, this bigography I found really sang out to me, so thought would give it a look. Oprah: A biography by Kitty Kelly. I have only watched parts of three of Oprah's show and also when she visited here in Australia, I love her smile, I really did not know much about Oprah bare trobled pass with her husband, and something about a sister maybe one know one knew she had. Also it interested me that we are the same Chinese year, the year of the snake, I found it unflattering being the year of the snake as I don't feel that is a nice symbol, but felt happy when found out Oprah was year of the snake as she is a dynamic women. On reading the biography, I near fell over when I read it, so much I had not known. I don't think Kitty Kelly left anything untold, all trueths come out. This Biography does not paint a pretty picture of Oprah's honesty. This is quite a thick biography, have not even completed, but in trigued to know more, I don't think Oprah is a nasty person, she has done alot I feel for many. If you have a high respect for this women, may not be one you will be ready to read.

Can worry of aging, age you?
When you worry about ageing it ages you, I was worried about being a mum of 6 would age me and every morning I'd wake up and feel tired, and I am not old, in fact I thought it wonderful when I did grow old to have white hair, like sign of wisdom, I had a funny avatar of white hair picture I liked and then I started seeing me with more white hair and more white hair, then as I was researching power of mind, I turned my thoughts right around, there is not many days now, waking up like a drag, I just get up and bounce back, I feel more energetic and happier then I used to be, be aware what thoughts you hold about things, whether it be money, age, health, life. The mind is a powerful tool, that can help you or go against you.

Gardening makes you feel good
Gardening has in away enlightened my life :D in subtle ways, I really had no idea what was happening to the inner me, as I ploughed away there, weeding creating, experimenting, the more I care for the space the lovelier it became, when I come home it immediately brings me sunshine, when I went inside the house :/ arg my downfall was housework I'd rather be gardening then house stuff, but what if, where ever you are is what ever you make it, make your garden everywhere, bring good energy where you are, I notice it in peoples lives, a lack of care and neglect on own environment is own form of hell, but when you care and love and do, it changes the feel of where you are, whether in the garden in the home, at work.

Holidays end, back to school week
It has been a little while since I wrote. Had an enjoyable day at the market, mainly went because my 7 year old had been saving her pocket many and tooth fairy moneys for Beanie Kids. Getting quite a big collection.
Dropped in at a friends, my husband had a funny picture of her which she appreciated getting, having a good laugh, stayed there for a while enjoying talking about things shes been doing in the community and good happening in her life.
Have been busy with group am in, Positive quotes, Pictures & Vids Group, did have a break from it but good to take it up again, one thing I love is to share things, mainly things people can draw strength from uplift and enlighten, and also feel renewed with life. Life is awesome when we step back and look at all the beauty that surrounds us.
Helped a lady other day, look after her kids, she had not been feeling to well and ended up in hospital. Think she is doing okay, she does have a lot of support with family, I think her first time living on her own with two kids and the stress getting to her.
Last Thursday kids was back at school. They are doing good and studying hard. My 7 year old is showing good enthusiasm learning to read and write. My older daughter who is 17 years old is doing well with her maths program we got for computer, measures how well she is doing. She felt a bit grumpy that she wasn't getting a hundred percent, shows her determination, I only see her improving more.
Did have a break from writing, but when I could, wrote more and edited what I wrote. With book and other things been working on. But mainly putting my energy helping a good friend, a lot of things going through her life, just wishing her well and talking with her lots, just be there for her best I can.

Perfect day for Australia day
Have not wrote for a short while. Just go with the flow of writing. Today it seemed like it may rain as cloudy yesterday, but was a great day, not so hot but a perfect day for Australia day. Had a celebration not far from home, fun family day of BBQ, children's jumping castle, live band, games for kids. Some people dancing. They had an after party for the adults, but we decided to go home with our kids plus tired. Juts good to get home. I watched Australia movie with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, my husband put on another day, seen for the third time, hadn't seen it for a while, but was good to watch again, it is a great movie, it saddened me a bit for the suffering the aboriginal people had to go through, really showed the spiritual heart and love with people but also the hard and cold side of some people.
I been the usual gardening :D but really want to do more out there. Make me so happy how it changes even more beautiful. I wonder if every gardener feels that way. Just the urge to beautify and to watch. Like watching the sunset, does everyone smile when a butterfly flutters by you, or dragonfly's darting back and forth. Yesterday had wild ducks stop at the front of our front fence. We have a road across our front fence, then across the road lots of bush and tree's, on the other side of the trees is the beach, one I probably won't swim in but a nice walking sandy beach, a lot of wild ducks and sea gulls and often jelly fish. But is a very beautiful view, can not see from our house as the trees are tall but as you walk across and following up towards a Small dirt path way, trees either end and shrubs and long over grown grass and sometimes when it rains a lot, have to walk on the edge and dry path and rocks, avoiding big puddles. Then sand and some wild flowery cactus and shrubs. Sometimes the view there is so beautiful like no one hardly comes there, like your own peaceful retreat, that many close locals enjoy.
It is the last week of holidays. Back to school and studing for kids. Hard to believe holidays is over, but good to get back to regular times.

Drive in movies
I had an enjoyable night last night, went to drive in with husband and kids to watch 2 movies, Paranorman and The Hobbit an unexpected journey. No spoilers :D I loved watching both, so did the family. We were tiny bit late for first movie. 19 month old boy was fascinated but got a bit restless. We got home safely after a scare, the car started to shake, something loose with the bearings in the front of the car, but we made it home thankfully about over an hour to get home usually from there, but we took it slower 60 to 70 km speed, but we were safe. If had to re do the night over again, would do it again, beautiful starry night. Hard to believe there are not many drive ins around. I was talking to an old owner of a drive in about two months back, he found less people going to drive ins and hard to bring more people in. Last night there were a good amount of people there, great family friendly environment, lots of different movies to see, plenty of laughter, popcorn, food, and game machines.
Been talking with friends on and off line, them visiting us visiting them, good to catch up with people and having interesting conversations. Still enjoying holidays and good weather especially cooled down more.

Peace, fish and poems
These pictures are a peaceful part of our yard, not like a prayer place but like a reminder, of peace and tranquillity. Thought I'd share because the water in it started to get mosquito larvae, I told my husband, wondering what we should do. Later, think next day after he brought home a surprise. 10 small goldfish. Not even one mosquito in the water the day after lol.
If you check real hard at next pictures, may see a fish or 2, or 3, 4 :)
Helped a friend today just a little, by adding strawberry plant and another flowery plant. Friend hasn't been at there home for a while so yard got a bit over grown, husband helped whipper sniper his yard for him. Just good when friend can look at their yard and think nice, instead of arg is there a snake in there lol.
Just sharing some poems I did, I joined a poetry group to write a poem each day of January but think joined late, but yeah decided to just write anyways. I enjoy writing and keeping the passion alive. These are not pro poems and maybe short or long, just playing with words. If you like writing, why not try write a month of poetry too :D

Christmas tree
Christmas tree is still up.
To good to pull down,
But the job is done.
The joy it spread
The memories it brought.
The treasures that hid
Beneath the tree,
Not quite hid, but bulged out.
But now empty and still glitters.
Standing tall with pride for the joy it gave.
Now ready to be dismantled and packed
And be revived next year.
Ho, ho ho. Happy year year!
Clouds
Like silken white smoke
moulded in blue.
Soft to the sight.
If could lay peacefully on it,
Be soft as feather down mattress.
Horror Movie
Heart pumping.
Anticipation, fearful dread.
Why do I watch these.
Why be excited of fearful dread.
Wanting to hide.
What is the outcome?
Where is the freedom of fear?
Ahh the horror.
Biting finger nails.
Breathing short, held through moments.
Why in movies do they let them hurt them?
Kick their butt!!
Don't go there.
Who in their right minds, go there?
Ahhh end of movie.
One person lives or two.
Another movie ~ Next.
Joyful
Joy for no reason
Giggling light-heartedness.
This joy like chest bursting,
Sunshine my face,
Smiling like rays brightening me.
Hop, skip, to my step,
Like dancing and no music,
But music my soul springs to life.
Enthusiastic peace, content.
Like connected to source of all creation.
One with the infinite nature of life.
Joy, like the energy that creates all harmony to life,
Giving balance.
All things brightened, sparkling, clear.
Like silver lining has always been,
With you.
Its all in your view.
It starts with a smile.
It starts with you!
Sent love
Oh my heart.
Though heart acheth
Of friends shared suffering.
A longing to help,
To heal.
But far, am I.
Thoughts do count.
Shared words of condolence.
Wishing peace, sending love.
Not knowing more to do but prayer,
To see them happy,
A wish for the future.
Two poems still to write but another time.

Enjoying holidays
Was really good buying new clothes for my disabled daughter for school, they don't wear school uniform at her school, so everyday is a different outfit to wear for school. Good to get restock of things kids needed for school, school shoes, texters and pens, etc. A new Whipper sniper my husband got. He found out after a bit of fixing and the old one worked, so didn't really need to buy a new one lol
Been enjoying the relax pace of the holidays. We bought a heap of movies for family to watch together. I am not into horror movies, but been enjoying watching some horror movies. The problem with me watching horror movies is, I watch it all the way through, I have to know how it ends, I don't like going to sleep not knowing and freaking myself out with thoughts. When you watch a horror movie to the end its over, its the end. But after, am not too sleepy, and not really into sleep with the horror of what I saw. Its a funny thing watching horror movies with the family, because everyone is just afraid as you. I could never watch horror movies by myself.
Enjoying tidying up the yard and gardening. Was so hot the past week, could not do anything out there, was so hot. The coolness was a big welcome.
Been enjoying helping my 7 years old with her game levelling her toon, she needed help with.
Enjoyed hubbies turkey he cooked last night, he really is a master chef.
Just really feeling happy with life.

Funny days
Been a funny two days, an old friend caught up on facebook after twenty years, phoned me today. Was good catching up, just made me feel happy all day thinking about it. On top of things my sisters son also caught up with me, we have not personally talked to each other since he was four years old, he is now twenty two years old, on top of that we have a language difference, was just so great to talk with him and him knowing more English then I thought. My sister has no idea of English and can't understand what I say, visa versa. So is hard to communicate, since my mother past last year, my mum usually let me know what is happening in the family and passes messages through letters. So was sad not having my mum not there anymore, think the whole family felt a gap for a long while, very dearly missed.
Was very happy another good friend of mine still cares very much, I thought we had some how grown a part. Just really great the lovely message she sent me, and knowing she cared so much.
Good to have some extra money come in, pay off a lot more bills. Not to way behind, but good to get some more paid off.
I been putting some time to learning screen writing and joined a poetry fun group, just more writing and exploring. There was one quote from an author, I didn't so like. Write it down and bleed on paper~ Ernest Hemingway. But the more you write the more flow you have less, writers block. Also the more you write freely brings joy and more passion. When becomes a job not as much joy. That is just a thought.

Toy joy's
Finally sorted through a lot of boxes that needed to get done, was a big load off my shoulder's getting that done. Our spare bathroom looks a lot better, as it got a bit cluttered there. Amazing how fresh and new things are when organised and cleaned.
Been so hot here, husband set up big inflatable pool our kids got for Christmas. Kids had a lot of fun cooling down.
This is the doll house my daughter got for Christmas shared earlier in another post. Think you needed to be a builder to set it up, I attempted it first, then my husband did the rest, he knew where I was going wrong as he used to do a lot of building. I feel for all the parents who got this doll house even my husband was banging his head for a while setting it up. But our 7 year old is happy :D

Had to share this train, my 18 month old got for Christmas, he loves it and its the coolest, cutest toy I seen in a while. As in front of the ride on train, is were you insert a bit of water, when you press the button a red laser light shines and it looks like red steam smoking out.
For a while I had tried to give teddy bears to my 14 year old daughter, she is disabled. She didn't like them and more into other toys. Then about two months back or less her disability school she goes to, sent her home with a big teddy. Think a raccoon looking teddy. Every morning when my daughter wakes up has been enjoyable to see her cuddling this teddy. My daughter doesn't talk, so hard to know what she needs some times. But so good to see her love and cuddle this teddy and the joy and smiles it brings her.

Forwards thinking
Happy got photo's working better on tablet device, a lot of mind boggling time passed by in trying to figure all add ons and more. Not so much sleep but feel good besides things. Our cooler fridge broke a while back, but great we got replacement, as so handy to have cold water to drink, been so hot here.
A friend popped in yesterday, a lot of stress going on in their life. Helped share some different views to look lighter on life. Sometimes it's hard for people to see that life can be better, when their feeling stressed. When your feeling stressed be aware of your thoughts, your thoughts can make situations look worse then it is and make you feel stuck. That's why always to look forward, what can you do? What can you appreciate? Instead of feeling stuck you feel motivated.
Was very happy the turkey I cooked last night turned out good, tender and yum and all enjoyed it. Was so hot last night gave kids ice cream cones, kids were very happy, including me. I got to, tame the taste buds, I don't know why but things really taste good lately and can indulge a bit, though am so lucky, never really had to worry much about my weight, even after kids, think a lot to do with all the dancing I did in the past. Exercise and movement is very good for the body. Especially if you enjoy it like dancing. I always try to have breakfast in the morning it's like fuel for the body. It helps bring faster metabolism and keeps you full, so your not likely to look for snacks. I call it battery food, so when am feeling low, sometimes make an odd comment like, "I ran out of batteries," lol, I remember a time in the past in my teens where I was very self conscious of my weight and I kept weighing myself, but some reason I realised that was not good, and actually did bulge a bit, when you concentrate whats not good about you, sometimes the thing you fear, you attract it to you worse. So I stopped that and haven't had a problem since with worry about weight issues.
Was going to add some pictures but some reason, will work on other sites but not on here. Sigh!!! So give up for now, will try again later.
Would you believe after much frustration, but had this niggling feeling to check, all pictures are there hehe. This nice car I saw today.
A painting we own a friend did for us, the photo does not do it justice. Friend who does this painting also paints on Emu eggs, style is aboriginal to Ned Kelly to even Bikey styled art.
Just some Decoration's :D

Tablet thing working
Doing a happy dance. Finally got tablet thing working on internet.
I tried to post this yesterday, but still getting used to tablet form and touchy screen. But all good, had lots of fun checking out twitter and Facebook and other sites on there. What I like about the tablet Android is can send and share pictures. I had it for months but was unable to get it on line was an early Christmas gift from hubby. Will try to get pictures on here when I can, mainly flowers and other.
My seven year old lost another tooth. She was very concerned yesterday as it was there but loose, she couldn't stop her tongue from fiddling with it. Even afterwards when finally did come out.

Fireworks and videos
I seen Bridget Jones movie before, but never realised till now the lady with the dark hair and whispery voice was the girl who played the crying ghost on Harry Potter movie. Just interesting to note.
I enjoyed fireworks last night around 9pm, but our 14 month old was a bit frightened of the loud bang and colourful sparks, he hid behind so we made plans to head off home. He was a lot happier and amazed at the crowd of people also leaving as fireworks had finished. When we got home he was very happy to watch fireworks on t.v. I enjoyed watching the Sydney fireworks, the music before it and Kylie Minogue being on.
Another interesting video, a young girl with a surprising voice, I was just speechless at her voice, what a gift.
