put your best foot forward

seek excitement
seek enlightenment
seek adventure
find your big big love
love
don't forget to stay curious
but always be cautious
learn from the past
but always go forwards
know that the majority is not always right
and nor are you
chase greatness
and know sometimes that means sacrifice
know when to fight and when run
stand for what you believe in
never walk over the beliefs of others
march boldly into love
but tread lightly with the heart of others
try to be kind
try to be happy
try to leave a legacy when you're gone
and remember its the choices you make today
that shape your tomorrow
so put your best foot forward

absa ad - so inspirational i had to share it

it really is a cats life...

as it started raining last night, i brought the chair in from outside, tidied up a bit and then saw the funniest thing ever....

oooh, i almost forgot

a while back i told you about this fab fun opportunity of being a Gypsy for a party!

i didn't have a chance yet to fill you in on my Gypsy Night! it was a great success. the birthday girl mailed me to tell me that it was her best birthday ever! - she always has fancy dress parties for her bday! i'm so glad that i made her smile. there were so many people that came to see me, who i did 'readings' for, and it was wonderful giving people new hope.

what i learnt that night?

• we all want reassurance that there really is a silver lining
• most people want someone just to tell them 'it's going to be ok'
• some want a simple smile and a reassurance that they're on the right path
• figuring out where we are, often sheds light onto where we're going
• change is hard, even when we know the right thing to do
• feeling like someone understands is empowering -- then you don't feel so alone
• telling people that they are so much more than their jobs, relationships, being a mother, being a son, being a wife, being a pilot, and so much more than who they perceive themselves to be, changes the way they think and see themselves
• we all need someone to talk to and to listen who does not know us, who can be non judgmental, honest and positive
  

i really didn't tell anyone anything they didnt' already know, but the clarification of where they are in their lives and that the future looks bright and positive gave them a sense of hope. and isn't that what we all want... a sense of hope?

9. Are you on twitter? http://twitter.com/mylifescape

friendship isn't how you forget, but how you forgive
not how you listen, but how you understand
not how you see, but how you feel
not how you let go, but how you hold on

more about love

"love is not to be found in someone else, but in our selves; we simply awaken it. but in order to do that, we need the other person. the universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with."

Sign of the changing times? What makes us smile really are the simple things in life...

All the same - Sick Puppies

I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
But I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly
I don't care, no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually what you'll do
I don't mind
I don't care
As long as you're here

Chorus

Go ahead and tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
But in-between it always seems too long
For certain
But I have the skill, yeah
I have the will, to breath you in while I can
However long you stay is all that I am

I don't mind, I don't care
As long as you're here

Wrong or Right
Black or White
If I close my eyes
Its all the same

In my life
The compromise
I'll close my eyes
Its all the same

love...

“Don't hold on to anger, hurt or pain.
They steal your energy and keep you from love.”

Leo Buscaglia

a grey day

With my nose on the window pane, I watch the rain streaming down… or are those my tears?

random conversation

someone asked: how do we know if we're making the right decision?

and a friend replied: one day...after you jump all these hurdles...one day....for the rest of your life things will get easier

a thought

whatever you are feeling
is a perfect reflection
of what is in the process of becoming
