Happy dance

Was doing a happy dance today, my 16 year old daughter won first place in a Disney drawing competition. Hand or computer drawing. Was just really happy for her :D

The Theme was to draw a favourite Disney character in another Disney outfit. This picture was created from simple Microsoft paint and a Medion drawing pad and pen. The rest was her love and drawing skill. Wrote in the past about it here on, Become better repetition and also if you have a passion  just a little bit of words of inspiration.

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.

 


 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.

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~
