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.

LIMITATIONS

I tell myself and others regularly that we are only limited by our minds, but seriously thats all I need! I don't need other people or circumstances or things
to limit my life, my goals, my happiness, or my potential, my mind does very
well all by itself.

I find that I have the biggest struggles just before a breakthrough in what I wanted to achieve and this tells me that I just have to keep my mind fixed on the goal no matter what.

A few months ago I challenged myself to make a concious effort to keep on doing the things that I really want to and not to be hindered by anything along the way that would throw me off course, I am pleased to say that I kept to what I had resolved in my heart even though I was tested continually along the way.

"When a man has put a limit on what he will do,
he has put a limit on what he can do"
-Charles Schwab

Don't Limit Yourself!

KNOW YOURSELF!



I have pondered this question off and on over the
years and I can honestly say that if the world ended
tomorrow, Yes, I would be proud of myself, Why?
Because I'm doing everything right? Or even anything
right? No, I am proud of myself because I finally know
who I am and know who I was created to be, and the
more I know myself, the more I know that I will never
be all the things that you think that you should be or
what other people want you to be. And thats ok, I just
wanna be me!

On the journey of knowing myself, I continually ask
myself some questions, like...
1) What makes you peaceful?
2) What makes you feel strengthened?
3) What/Who leaves you feeling drained & empty?
4) Who/What fills you with energy? joy?
5) How do you look after yourself?
6) Is your life lined up with the values you have?

These answers will be as vastly different for everyone, even the questions we ask ourselves will be different, but the results if we choose to encourage ourselves when times are hard, to know ourselves enough to love ourselves by making healthy choices and are proud of the life we live, the end results will be the same - We will live better than we have before.
