How Many.......

Ok first of all I need to thank Dick and Simon for their generous and amazing gifts!! The Green rack sack!! Thank you so much! And as well to Gilbertomondo for the working clothes!! You two are like amazing and I am sending the fattest cyber hugs you can imagine!!

I decided to take the rack sack out and see if it was weather proof as if it can withstand the cold icy weather on the back of me..... It will survive anything!!! Hehe ;)
So Josh and I decided to dress me up in the most ridiculously yellow outfit as this is my favorite colour and see how it looked it like on me – if the green suited me... yeah... enough said.... me thinks....
So only just under two weeks to go.. Can’t believe it! I have been meeting up with friends this week and the more I get asked about it the more it is hitting home and then I decided to check my bank balance as I finished paying for the trip and yeah I can safely say reality hit home today – yikes!!! I will definatley slim down on that budget!!! Haha
However saying that I have pretty much got everything. Got all the traveling bits and got the work gear. Washed the rack sack and got toiletries. The only thing missing is the Sleeping bag, pad locks, sleeping bag liner and present for the host family. Though I might bring them a rice and bean recipes book!! But I am sure they will surprise me with their cooking skills....
As it is new years eve and I am off on a little travel journey I ought to put a stop to the writing and jump in the shower (one I will enjoy as it has hot water...) Funny how you realize what you have when you are about to lose them. Not true what they say “You realize what you had once you have lost it”.....I have seen another dimension to it!
So thank you to everyone I have seen this week! And the laugh and the support for my trip. I am one lucky girl to have such amazing friends and family! J
I hope everyone that sees this and their families have an amazing new years eve but an even better new years day as this is my favourite part of the whole new years thing. Is the first day of the new year!! J
And just as a little treat there is a game to this blog as well – How many beans can you find on the picture....

Big fat hugs!!!

Is it important?

The universe has an interesting way of teaching you the lessons you might need to learn or open your eyes up for when they are so focused on being closed that is if you allow it. The term universe I use loosely as this can be ever so differently interpreted by each and every individual. For me the universe is everything and everyone. It is your inner voice, your gut feeling. It is what I surround myself with, the situations I find myself in. The people I meet, either by an arrangement or by chance. It is the bird singing, it’s the fields, it is the impatient hotel worker driving home from a late shift or the slow moving elderly that has come to accept that speed really isn’t for him/her.  And funnily enough this week I have really opened my senses, my eyes, my mind and soul to the universe. I have opened myself up to what is around me, what my inner voice is actually saying. What my gut feeling is trying to tell me but I am to closed off to and therefore try and control it with eit...

Smell the coffee!

I received a text today that made me think. It stated:  ‘ I think that’s what you needed to do like literally switch off from all things negative and start seeing and concentrate on your positives  (which I haven’t heard or seen you do in a looooooong time!!’ I’m not going to lie. I have been in a super dark place. Not dark enough for it to show but internally I have been crumbling. I have tried my hardest to fight it and I have done an OK job but it has taken its toll. That is until yesterday. Of course I didn’t just snap out of it. I have been working hard to learn to work my way out of it but after crying just because someone that I don’t know on Saturday pushed me away I was like – WHATT??? Is this what I am allowing my brain to do to me? I deliberately didn’t rush to get the charger for my phone. I let it stay out of juice pretty much all day. I had an uncomfortable chat, then woke up and smelt the coffee. I decided that no one would ever rob me of me again. Th...

Acceptance

This morning I was reading about the mind, about how we live with this internal functionality called the brain. Without it we would not live, we would not have electric pulses shooting down throughout our body enabling us to do what we want. However I have come to realise throughout the years that simply because we are attached to our brains it doesn’t necessarily mean we have to always do as it tells us, as it acts as our best friend but simultaneously acts as our worst enemy! Whilst it enables us to move our hands, walk and talk it also enables us to think. The problem with this I have come to realised is that just as unaware we are of moving our hands, legs, jaw etc. we are unaware of our thoughts. We think away but unfortunately we can’t often stop the damaging thoughts until they have taken over and we are in a pool of darkness. We don’t seem to have the mechanics of dislocating the thinking mind like we would move our hand if it was burning from the open fire. However through the...
