*Friday Love*

I'm such a proud mum already!! Can you tell? lol

*wednesday love*

My hands are covered in yellow and green paint. I have pages scattered around the floor drying. I mounted 64 stamps ready and waiting to play with. My table is covered in stuff. Making a mess will always and forever be the best kind of *Wednesday love*

stop...a partial wednesday love

stop and have coffee with a friend.

stop and read a book.

stop and laugh loud.

stop and see beauty wherever you are.

stop and make a mess with paint.

stop and live life...

*Wednesday Love*

i love post. these lovely goodies are from my lovelyhead friend. they make me smile. these are so beautiful. so me. i love them. they've brought so much joy to me this week as i've been trying to understand how come some people can hate someone so much because of the color of their skin? i'm not getting it. i can honestly say that i've never looked at that. never once have i ever thought that i loved or hated someone because of the color of their skin. it makes me sad. i hate racism. and i think it's very ugly. it's hurtful. painful to be rejected because of what we look like. Or because of what we don't look like. if only we could all realize that there is so much more than this. if only we could all look beyond. beyond superficial things. things that don't even matter. things that are vain. things that will not last.

if only we could see beyond and deeper...

Listen and Watch Listen and Watch

Thankyou Bre for the link!

*sigh*
Daisies and flipflops seems an adequate *belated* wednesday/thursday/friday love.

*Wednesday Love*

i was going to post my *wednesday love* tomorrow, but i've changed my mind again. i feel like doing it tonight.

if you wonder why i've downloaded a picture of a washing machine it's because i'm proud to say that she is my new love. i've named her "charlotte"!!! and i am extremely happy to have her. now, you might think that it's stupid, but here in the jungle place where i live, it's not everyone that have one. not everyone that can afford to have one. charlotte is brand new. we got her this week. what a relief!!! try washing all your clothes and bed sheet and everything else by hand. for at least 6 months!! i never thought about how hard it would be not to have one... but i have since i've moved here. and i tell you what, i am so grateful to have her!!! haha. funny how we can get used to living "easy peasy". when i think that washing machines didn't even exist not so long ago!!!!!

this is an odd wednesday love, i know. however, it was a highlight for me this week. i have changed so much since i've been here. i've realized so many things. i don't think i will ever be the same again after seeing what i have seen here and experienced what i have experienced. funny how a washing machine can make you think twice and realize things!!! lol and not just that. not always having electricity can make things a bit complicated at times! the 'world out there" can seem so far away at times!

it won't go away

Somebody asked me last week sometime what is the first thing I notice about someone.
It's had me thinking ever since.
Physically it would be feet. Or hair. These are both things, I personally am rather obsessed with.
I can honestly say never would I look at somebody and think they are ugly. I don't know if my mind doesn't work like that, but I just can't see ugliness in physical terms.
Maybe it was the years of bullying that altered the way I look at people.
Or what I deem ugliness to be.
I know some ugly people. But ugly isn't a word I would ever use to describe somebodies physicality.
I had an email from my mum also a week or so ago. I had been discussing this with her on the phone, it's something that really upsets and baffles me when somebody describes another person as ugly, when they are speaking purely about their looks.
The last line of my mums email reminded me of why she is the best mum in the world, and has been rolling over and over and over my head ever since. It feels like it's a thought thats leading on to something bigger, something more poignant in my personal life. I knew this line when I read it, I believe in what my mum typed to me fully, I teach this line to the girls I come in contact with, I believe this line when my eyes are so dark because I havn't slept right, I eat well and good and healthily with no fear of guilt because I believe in this line. I try to live and revel in this line every day of my life. But for some reason, I just can not shift it this month. On reading it it really hit me in the face. Why? I'm still figuring it out.

"what a sad life worrying about keeping slim and beautiful on the outside when what really matters to God is our character."

What do you see when you meet someone for the first time? What a simple question. What a hard thing to answer.

*wednesday love*

You know what?
I actually thought Wednesday was yesterday and I was coming here to post this a day late. How bad is that? Ha.

THIS is my wednesday love. Finally got pictures taken of my decorate a bra competition entry. Pirate themed of course ;) Boris was meant to have a patch, but I ran out of time! Booo. He's my version of a crafty parrot, you see? Haha.

I travelled home today.

That = a tiiiiired rhi.
But i'm home :)



















Quite obviously this bra was too small. I have been blessed with rather large bussoms. Is that how you spell bussoms? Hmm. Well. I have.
This is all rather TMI, no?

*Just a little Wednesday Love*

My *Wednesday Love* isn't gonna be long. There isn't so much to say. It's been a hard week. And so. All I can say is: "Smile. Smile. Beauty is there. Around. Somewhere. Even in crappy days!!!!"

...

Have you ever wanted to be someone else...? Just for one day? Or forever? Today, I feel like being Norah Jones. I'm listening to her right now. Her music reminds me of so many things. It makes me dream. Makes me think. Funny how music can make us feel differently.

Some days I wake up feeling strange. Not beautiful. But today. I feel beautiful. I feel happy. Satisfied. I look forward to things. Little things. Big things.

While bump is growing, my body is going through not such nice things!!!!! My feet look like hippos these days!! But even some hippos are pretty too!!! :p

Have you see the pretty lovelyhead new banner? And new layout? All done by the *BEAUTY FULL* Rhi. Amazing. I love it!

This is a random entry. I can't access my personal journal coz the connection is too slow. So... I come here instead. ;)

Hope you are all having a beautiful and unique day x
