girl talk...

After a day full of tea, Sex and the City, boy talk, chocolate, supportive presence with a close girlfriend, i was once again reminded of the importance of Girl Time. 

The time that is fully and undeniably ours, to be there for one another and completely soak up our girl power. Of the many things that can be said of Sex and the City ( its fabulous clothes, unbelievable men and brilliant location) I can say that the friendship between the four leading ladies is not so far from the truth of the friendships in my life. Maybe not in the same dimensions but I have the girls that i need around me and those that i can call in a crisis. There is so much to be said for those friendships and the role that they play in any women's life. 

So a massive thanks to Carrie and the girls for their reminder and a big shout out to all the girls in the world who need support, turn to your girlies and invest in them- heart and soul. 

Peace, Love and All that Jazz. 

now to tidy this mess of a room <3 

Another year, full of exciting adventures and dreams...?

I've never been one to care to much about the New Year, I have always thought that it is no big deal, the clocks still turn the same, the world hasn't changed much and life moves on. 

However this past year has seen me go through a lot of changes and movement. The person I am now is almost polar opposite to the girl I was at the beginning of 2010. It is slightly strange to admit that the person that you were for 2 years is someone you're not entirely sure that you would like. 

BUT..... I am glad for those 2 years because they have taught me so much, about myself and about life. And it has made me excited about the time that is coming, a time when I am more sure of who I am and where I am going and what is important to me. 

Life is a strange thing, but as I get older and the years move by I have begun to realise just how young I am and how much I have ahead.

So here's to another year, full of new people, new adventure, new dreams but overall just a whole load of new days to fill with life and love. 

peace.love.hope&joy

Own little world

This song is one of those songs that makes you think, and it should. We shouldn't get so caught up in our own little worlds, we should look out to the others around us and see the world that we live in. 

"In my own little world it hardly ever rains 

I’ve never gone hungry, always felt safe 

I got some money in my pocket, shoes on my feet 

In my own little world 

Population me 

I try to stay awake through Sunday morning church 

I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give ’til it hurts 

and I turn off the news when I don’t like what I see 

it’s easy to do when it’s 

population me 

What if there’s a bigger picture 

what if I’m missing out 

What if there’s a greater purpose 

I could be living right now 

outside my own little world, ooo 

Stopped at the red light, looked out my window 

I saw a cardboard sign said “Help this homeless widow” 

Just above that sign was the face of a human 

I thought to myself, “God, what have I been doing?” 

So I rolled down the window and I looked her in the eye 

Oh how many times have I just passed her by 

I gave her some money then I drove on through 

in my own little world there’s 

Population two, woah 

What if there’s a bigger picture 

what if I’m missing out 

What if there’s a greater purpose 

I could be living right now 

outside my own little world,  

my own little world, 

Father break my heart for what breaks Yours 

give me open hands and open doors 

put Your light in my eyes and let me see 

that my own little world is not about me 

What if there’s a bigger picture 

what if I’m missing out 

What if there’s a greater purpose 

I could be living right now 

I don't wanna miss what matters 

I wanna be reachin' out 

Show me the greater purpose 

So I can start livin' right now 

outside my own little world, (yeah) 

my own little world, (yeah),yeah, yeah 

my own little world"

'la vita e bella'

'life is beautiful' 

I think sometimes we get so bogged down with life and the worries and the tasks we have to do, that we forget the simple truth that 'la vita e bella' (life is beautiful). 

Whatever happens in our lives, the pain and the hurt, the love and laughter; each and every part of it is beautiful and our lives are made up of small moments that make this huge picture. 

Life isn't being easy on me at the moment, in fact a lot of the time it sucks but I walk out my door and I see the view of the city I live in and it makes me smile. 

The graveyard at the end of my road gives me comfort and the songs that I listen to each day make me happy. 

My best friend, with all the wisdom she has said to me today that 'summer always comes, sometimes it just takes a while'. She is right. 

Life is beautiful, throughout the pain and heartache, life is beautiful and summer always comes. 

It is God's world and He made it to be beautiful, and it is.

My day...

(How i feel right now... )

My day has been spent:

-writing a presentation that i have to do on tuesday 

-playing with my new macbook :) 

- eating to much toast 

-  getting worried about blood test results 

-bad phone-calls and venting to housemates 

-eating wine gums :)

Now off to the cinema so am happy to get away from my life and escape into 'life as we know if' :) 

peace out and love you all

Lovely things...

Today I just wanted to share some lovely things that always make me happy:

The graveyard at the end of my road is one of the most peaceful places ever and it is so pretty, it calms me down every time I go there 

 This little trinket box that my bestie made me this summer makes is beautiful! 

Not mine, but this hangs in a friends room and I love the saying 'love is friendship set on fire' 

My bed-spread :) Its covered it little shiny red hearts and makes me smile and my room pretty. 

In case you can't tell Love Hearts make me happy- they are amazing and wonderful! 

So lots of love and hope you have wonderful days 

'me' 

xoxo

My weekend...

Was spent.... 

Running around in pouring rain
Watching gossip girl from the beginning 

Sitting through vision meetings and writing on flip charts 

Eating junk food and watching movies about weddings 

Burning too many candles 

Talking to new students 

Eating free pizza 

Focusing on the good things 

Trying to sleep and being unsuccessful 

Realising that my housemate is amazing and truly there for me 

Talking to my mum and dad about everything 

Now for another week, lets hope and pray this one is better... It has had a good start so far
