“Never be afraid to try something new… an amateur built the ark that lasted forty days and forty nights; professionals built the titanic that sank

Hello Hello Everyone :)

Not long now. In exactly four weeks I will be starting Odds Building Ltd aprenticeship in Costa Rica..... hehe :)

I still have not bought the ruck sack... Or the mosquito net, or the present for the host family... but hey there is snow in England so I have an exscuse... :)

I have started this now to make sure I get in the habit of posting little snippets as if anyone knows be well they will know I will be fab on this to begin with and then I just forget... :)

I was told the other day if I was going to do a blogg I would need to stick to it!! and it was said with stern words - yeah you know who you are and look I have started... :)

A lot of people have asked me why? Why now? Well why not is my answer? Why not now? Each year I learn more and more that you can not predict what will happen, who you will meet, who will show you new ways of looking at life or who will hurt you but help you grow as result. I have decided that I want to follow what feels right and regret the things I have done (maybe not that extra slice of cake though, really should have left it.....) than the things I haven't.

Helping people that have so little I hope will humble me up and remind me that life is so much fun and you actually don't need much to see that. Well I hope so other wise I am soooo barking up the wrong tree.. or experience for that matter...

Any how... Must go a glass of nice red wine and a fabulous episode of Jane Ayre await me... Oh my word I am going to struggle - but hey I will finally slim down - joy of rice and beans for breakfast, lunch and dinner!! Whoop Whoop and jazz hands!

Big hugs to you all!

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...

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...

Smack my ass and call me Judy!

We are funny creatures we are. We are masked by so many emotions, hidden secrets, sudden outburst of energy yet most of the time we hide it all. We doubt our abilities and we see the grey rather than the reality for what it is. We do it so that it doesn’t hurt and we don’t have to deal with it. We sometimes over think a comment or action whilst other days we ignore it like it never happened. I am no different. I must admit I have started learning to accept the unacceptable and with that comes a great ease of mind. I still pursue what it is I want. I haven’t just gone lazy and given up. I will find ways of making something happen or at least try my darn best. The irony being though that I hadn’t done that for my own happiness if I am honest. I hadn’t looked before at what actually makes me happy and what I might have to sacrifice to get there. This came as a real shock to me the other day. I had always put others happiness and wellbeing before my own, even to the point I would get...
