Playlist!

So it is that time of year again! It is Playlist Live in Florida again and i still have been too scared to do anything with my youtube channel. I don't know what makes me so determined to do something one minute and then so scared the next.

As a teenager i was always one of those people that was always seeking the approval of others and i thought that i had since then grown out of that. I have become comfortable in my own skin. But i think to some extent I will always have a part of me that wants everyone to like and approve of what I do, which is natural, but i need to have the courage to actually do it!

Start Again

Ok I have come tho the conclusion that this blog needs a RESET button! 

So here it is. 

I am the type of person that always wants to put herself out there, to try something new. But i start and then I get lazy and i start to second guess myself. Which I know we all do but I am really bad at getting myself out of that slump. 

For the past few weeks I have been house/puppy sitting for some family friends and it has just given me a new look to stop saying to myself "oh it will happen one day" and actually do it TODAY! Something about being out of my house and living in a beautiful place with a stunning view and being able to call the shots in my own life has made something click in my brain. It has made me evaluate what I want in my life and what I need to do to make it happen.

And so here is the list of things I want:

I want to be fit and Healthy. 

I want to be Happy.

I want to update my blog at least twice a week. 

I want to upload a new Youtube video every week. 

I want to be organised. 

I want to have more 'me time'.

I want to do random acts of kindness.

I want to be a first rate me not a second rate somebody else. - Thank you Tyler Oakley!

I want to let go. 

And so I start. Not tomorrow, not it a weeks time but TODAY! And I urge everyone out there who is in a bit of a slump to get there and do the same. Figure out what is truly important in your life and make sure you are giving yourself enough time to truly appreciate it! 

Be who you are because there is no one in the world as unique as you! 

Books Galore!

Well its safe to say I love reading. I like the way i can read a book and be completely transported into another world. I can become the main character of the story or feel like I am watching from above.

There is nothing better than the feel of the pages underneath your fingertips.Curling up withe a blanket a cup of tea and a book. Being able to see how far you have read and when you are getting close to the end that feeling that you just don't want it to be over. People keep telling me that an e-reader is amazing but i truly don't think anything could beat the feeling of holding a book in your hands and turning a page. 

So three times a year there is a local book fair to raise money for the Lifeline charity where people have donated their second hand books and you then purchase them and all the money goes back to the charity. My mother and I try to go at least twice a year and as it was the fair was on last weekend and I think we went a little bit overboard. 

My mother and I went on the morning of the first day of the fair and 2hrs later I walked out with 17 books. I know for most people quite a big number but for me this seemed pretty normal as I tend to read quite fast. But then my sister then decided that she would like to go on the last day of the fair, which is half price day, and this is when things went wrong by the end of the day we had counted up our books and between the three of us we had bought 143 books, 41 of which were mine. Oops! 

I must say I have already finished one of the books in 2 days so hopefully it doesn't take me too long to get through them all. 

My pickings from the weekend 

If you have a favourite book let me know! I would love to read some of your suggestions.

Pay it Forward

To start this year off in a loving way I’m participating in this Pay-It-Forward initiative: 5 people that comment on this with "I'm in", will receive a surprise from me at some point in this calendar year - anything from a book, a ticket, a visit, something home grown or made, a postcard, absolutely any surprise!

There will be no warning and it will happen when the mood comes over me and I find something that I believe would suit you and make you happy.

These five people must either make the same offer in their FB status or blog and distribute their own joy. Simply copy this text so we can form a web of connection and kindness.

Let's do more nice and loving things for each other in 2014, without any reason other than to make each other smile and to show that we think of each other. Here's to a more enjoyable, more friendly and love filled year. 

Even if you don't want to commit to giving 5 people a gift, try just doing something nice for someone and not respecting anything in return.


Try it out! 

Things I Learnt In 2013

It gets to the start of a new year and people start to look back and realise that another year has passed and most of us are still stuck in exactly the same place that we started the last year. Of course then we start to feel cup half empty but i have decided to look at this last year as a learning experience. I have decided to be a glass half full person. 

And so in light of this situation i have come up with a trivial list of things that I have come to learn in the past year. 

1. You can put almost any food item in between two pieces of bread and it will taste amazing! 

2. I suck at keeping New Years Resolutions.

3. Painting your nails can be fun.

4. Its ok to sometimes be a diva. 

5. Pamper yourself, it makes you feel better. 

6. Cheap wine can taste better than expensive wine. 

7. I like eating junk food every now and then. 

8. Warm pineapple should NEVER happen!

9. The more expensive someones car sound system, the cheaper their taste in music.

10. Nothing ever beats Tequila.

So that is my list of random things that i have learnt. Let me know if you agree or even if you have any of your own! 

Catch you on the flipside.

My life of people!

I am starting this off with a warning, if you don't like sentimental, emotional things then i would not read any further. For those of you who do and those of you who would like to know about the type of people who make me who I am then please continue reading.

I have always been very lucky in the fact that I have had a great group of friends but there are two of my friends that are my chosen family! I honestly could not Imagine my life without either of them and they have helped me to be who I am! And so we will start with......

Jordan

Jordan and I have been friends since I moved schools at the end of year 8. Although I guess friends isn't the word for it! We bonded in our first music class over Missy Higgins and I guess we got along quite well. As we started to get a bit older it became quite clear that we were no longer what you wool call friends. Jordan (lets not say hated me) strongly disliked me and we went through a good two years not really getting along. And then one day that all kind of went away. We became inseparable and realised that we were pretty much the same person but in 2 different bodies.

Jordan is kind but honest, he will always have your back, he is very loud! He has adopted my love for theatre and surpassed me! He is a fashionista or at least likes to think he is. We can sit around in complete silence watching a movie or we can be as loud as anything trying to control fits of laughter. We usually know what the other is thinking and are not afraid to tell each other exactly what is on our minds. But that is why we work.

Jack

Jack is a fairly new friendship. We have only been good friends for about a year but it feels like I have known him forever. He is in some ways the complete opposite of me. He is shy and sometimes awkward in social situations. But he is funny and smart and we are both complete bookworms! I still find it quite strange that we became such good friends. Usually you will do a show with someone and then you try and catch up afterwards but you feel like you really don't know anything about the other persons life anymore but with us it was different. We could be so content to sit and talk for hours about the most random things. He is my show buddy, the person that i can go with to watch a show or see a movie and know that they are not going to sit there ad ask ridiculous questions or make annoying comments.

I feel like I can trust Jack with absolutely anything and he would be entirely understanding and he would always be there to help me or anyone out. That is what I love about him. 

I thank you both for being absolutely amazing and the best friends I could ask for.

What are your best friends like? How did you meet?

Do you believe in magic?

Ok. So I am not talking about Harry Potter and I'm not going to pull out a wand and cast a spell on you. I am talking about Psychic's. I understand that there are a lot of people in this world who do not believe that people can have psychic abilities but I am not one of them. I like to feel like there is something pushing me towards the things that I want and i like to know if there are people out there helping me. Besides this fact there are many things that have happen whilst in a reading or after a reading that are too close to be a coincidence. Although in saying that I can understand why some wouldn't believe.

My mother had always been one of those people that had psychic readings and she loved to come home and tell me what she was told. So when I went to my first reading I was excited and nervous. The woman was lovely and she told me a lot of things that were true and a lot of things that did end up happening and of course there are some that didn't. But our future is not set in stone so i don't consider that a reason to believe she was lying. This woman was also a healer and I was in desperate need for some healing, I could feel it. She held my hands, I closed my eyes and all of a sudden her hands were burning under mine, I could feel something running through my body. She had warned me before hand that I would be tired afterwards but I hadn't really thought much of it. But as soon as it was finished I was in a daze, I got back to my hotel room and I fell asleep for 3 hours, I was exhausted.

At the beginning of this week my mother went to have her second reading from a new woman close by and for the second time the woman told her that she could not say anything about me, that I had to go and have a reading myself. So I did. It was great it had answered so many of the questions that I had been worried about before I had come in. Things that I was unsure of were suddenly clear and it reminded me of why I liked to come.

I am a believer. I like to believe that there is something out there helping me along and I like that when I walk out of a reading I am calm and that I am now not so worried about all the little things that had worried me before.

So tell me, Do you believe?
