About Me

I'm just a girl determined to live my life Intentionally!

WELCOME TO MY JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE!


Welcome to my newly revamped Blog. A lot has happened since I last blogged in June and it seems like such a long time ago.


I am a wife of one husband, and a mother of 5 kids, although they don't seem like kids, they are all taller than me and and range in age from 17 -26, four boy kinds and one girl kind. At times I make a huge effort to understand them and then I get exhausted and practise putting on make-up instead, I feel I get that right sometimes!! If you don't agree, I don't need to know, thanks anyway!


The kid in the picture on the sides, thats me, I felt it necessary to let you see yourself that I had the whole fashion thing happening when I was 8, even knew how to accessorise with the clip in my hair and the peg holding my cape on, was wooden, not some plastic junk!


I have just launched a new business that I am excited about called "THIS IS WHO I AM". So I will pop over every now and then and share something funny, wise, stupid, sad and hopefully inspiring.

I want to hear from you, drop me a line, and for those who have asked me to write about something in particular, I'm getting on to it!


Many times I have been asked to start blogging so I have finally taken the plunge. My blog is going to be about everyday life and sharing the journey with you, hopefully you will be encouraged and I will learn how to do life better.

I have a busy, fun, crazy life but don't know that I would swap it in a hurry for a quiet, boring life, although every now and then would be nice.


I will be adding interesting and funny photos along the way!

Looking forward to the journey.

A SLOW LEARNER?

After spending most of the day in bed today and suffering the
consquences (yet again) of eating wheat products when I have
a gluten intolerance, I am forced to question myself as to
whether I am just a slow learner or want to just ignore that
my body does not cope with the gluten I chuck at it.

Well, I have to admit that I can't really ignore it for much
longer, my symptoms this time were screaming at me to
sit up and take notice, in the past I have put up with the
pain all throughout my body, and the swelling of my joints
and in particular my feet but today I also couldn't think
straight,and I needed to for my College Course and to
work on my assignment.

There is a saying that descibes this process that I have
been putting myself through.

"If you do what you've always done, You'll get what
you've always gotten"

I am having a serious discussion with myself as to what
I am going to do about it, and whether there are other
things in my life that I push aside hoping that they will
right themselves over time.

How about you? Am I the only one who notices things
and hopes they will just come right without me doing
anything about it? I have a feeling I'm not alone.

    I think thats something we're guilty of from time to time. I raise my hand too! Why do wait until the pain is unbearable before we change the habits... I'm in the process of changing a few of mine, and I thought I said "No" alot to my kids! My internal "No,no no..." is getting a real work out.
