#695 All the light we cannot see..


Simply put: - We need to remember to “Open our eyes to the beauty around us, don't stress on the parts we cannot change, the indifferent, the negativity that we hear, the people that want to change us as it makes them feel better.

To open our mind to the wonders of life, open our heart to those who love or need you, and always be true to yourself.”.. To feel sympathy for those who want us to conform to their world. To be brave and be true to yourself for who you are and/or what you want to be.

You think you know me better;
Standing where you are;
But I have tried to tell you;
That I don't know where you are
Do you feel bigger?
Do you feel better now?
'Cause I don't feel better now.
And all the light we cannot see;
I won't ever take it from you now;
Take it from you now.
And all the light we cannot see;
I'm no better, better than you now;
I'm no better than you now.
And all the light we cannot see..

#656 Water under the bridge...



If you're not the one for me
Then I'll come back and bring you to your knees
If you're not the one for me
Why do I hate the idea of being free?
And if I'm not the one for you
You've gotta stop holding me the way you do
Oh when you found that the one for you

It's so cold out here in your wilderness
I want you to be my keeper

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge...

#635 Scruffy Hospitality...



A woman I admire very much said something so simple to me when I was complaining about the state of mess in my house.. She said whenever someone was coming to her home — a home with five children in it — and she started to worry about how her home looked, she would stop and think: "Are they coming to see me, or are they coming to see my home?" It occurred to her that someone who would have a problem with her home looking like a family of seven lived in it wasn't really someone's opinion she cared about.  I'd love to say I embraced that wisdom immediately, but I didn't. Slowly, though, I have let go of some of the crazy things I believed must happen before people entered my front door. The first thing I let go was the dog and cat hairs. A sweep I did do, but would fret seeing a ball of hair fly across the timber floors.  Over the years, I've became more relaxed. Next, I didn't dust. Nobody said a word, and they came back again. 0.0.. :)
I didn't plan the entire meal around foods I could prepare ahead of time so my kitchen could be spotless when my guests arrived. Friends jumped in the kitchen mainly desert time, am hopeless at deserts and they helped me finish making dinner, and we had fun.
I call this scruffy hospitality. Scruffy hospitality means you’re not waiting for everything in your house to be in order before you host and serve friends in your home. Scruffy hospitality means you hunger more for good conversation and serving a simple meal of what you have, not what you don’t have. It's hard to let go of the belief that our homes need to be picture-perfect — or maybe I should say "Pinterest-perfect" — before we can welcome guests. The idea that we must make our home look unlived in before having people over stops so many of us from sharing life together. So next time you are about to entertain, think really is it that bad?

#612 and the morning says hello world, it's time to get ready for work..




So what is your morning ritual before going to work?

Do you roll out of the bed, or so called drag yourself out of bed, do you hit the alarm three times before finally giving up you have to get up now or you’ll be late.


Do you rush for that coffee pot only to find out you slept in too much and now have to run for the bus and can’t get your morning fix. Do you find yourself sometimes missing your morning ritual shower only because you now are running more than an hr late and you know the boss will be there before you.


Sadly I get up at 5.30am each morning. of late finding my cat on my stomach, her nails in my tummy, the coffee smell from the kitchen percolating – (burnt now) from a timer, and after dragging myself out of bed, notice the bags under my eyes wishing I went to bed earlier.


My morning when not rushing, I wake up slowly by checking my emails on my ipad, check the posts I missed overnight. The cat is not on my stomach and she is purring waiting to be let out.  Once my coffee is brewing, I shower and get ready for work. I drink my coffee, and sometimes make breakfast. I’m a fan of either cereal, or toast.  I tidy up the kitchen and head to my office. I like to keep my morning simple – it’s the best way to start a busy day.
That’s if I don’t have a panic attack and have overslept. So what is your morning ritual?


Sadly two destinations are closing today,  and that being Shiny Shabby for the (month of June), who returns for their new and exciting month of ‘July’; and lastly that being Summerfest 16, who have had a record intake of people visiting their destination.  The amazing Gacha Guardians is still running and I had a blast finishing that one on the weekend.

#517 Halloween brings out all the weird and wonderful



America is a destination that I would love to visit one day, most especially New York or San Francisco. I have heard and apology if the rumors are untrue, that you get used to seeing people wearing strange outfits especially around Halloween, when it brings out something special in these cities.


There would be something really rather magical about going to work and seeing a man dressed in a wonderfully elaborate Captain Hook costume on his way to the office with a hook on one hand and a briefcase in the other. Or seeing a bus go by and inside it there’s a witch dressed in flowing black robes, a tall hat on her head, broomstick in one hand and the other hand holding a  newspaper.
I love that adults get to act like kids again, dressing up in weird and wonderful costumes and acting out their fantasies. I love that kids get to dress up to, pretending they are adults, superheros and princesses and magical creatures.

One hospital that I know in Australia has a particularly delightful tradition at Halloween. They hold  a party for all the children who started out fighting for their lives.  After weeks, or in some cases months, the kids get to go home and start the rest of their life, but every year they come back in their hundreds, dressed as lions and tigers and bears and pirates, to thank the staff who cared for them.

The staff get dressed up as well and there is something wonderful about seeing a Director  dressed as a medieval wench and her husband as a marauding viking. To see all the families, who have been through so much, having such a great time with their kids – kids who almost didn’t make it – is a true gift. It’s a reminder that what we have is so precious that we must never lose sight of how fortunate we are. So why not dress up as a pirate or a scary celebrity once a year and let our your inner demon. There’s plenty of other days for being serious.




Wearing the gorgeous outfit from Valentina E, the stunning shoes by Essenz, the Lovely jewelry from CAE from 'The Deck" which the doors have just opened to let you into My Attic @ The Deck for some serious shopping!


This round it’s a Town and Country theme, so bring a bit of the big outdoors to your SLife.  Be quick, cos the doors are going to close on September 30th and you do not want to miss out on all these goodies!

#344 Dreamin as the heat takes a bow with Cheekypea,Truth and Valentina E



Summer came and left without a warning
All at once I looked and you were gone
And now you're looking back at me
Searching for a way that we can be like we were before

Now I'm back to what I knew before you
Somehow the sun doesn't look the same
I'd give my life for one more night
Of having you here to hold me tight; oh, please
Take me there again.
