Colouring-In Book Day

Let’s have a bit of a break from the mean and the bad and the toxic real world.

I have so many colouring in books, I tend to get a lot of them for Birthdays and Christmas, and you know what? I am not complaining. They are such a great distractions. Just put the tv on, or some music, or whatever takes your fancy and colour away. I’ve got Lions, Tigers and Bears that are pink, blue and green and gold and purple, and well a bit of everything.

I actually get a little impatient with the mandala type ones. I think because, well, they’re mandalas. They are like, a shape and if you don’t colour them in “right” they can just look like a mess. Once you’ve got a colour, you kind of have to stick with it. For me, that can get a little boring.

The first one that I bought, as an adult. Was a children’s fairy one. I bought it in America, when I used to “live there”. I’d work my butt off in Australia, and then go and stay with my then partner for about 3-6 months. But I could never work in America, so I didn’t. So there were times when I had nothing going on. With the way America, sometimes my partner could work from 8 in the morning until 10 at night. His Walmart closed at 11…or was it 10? Either way, he could do a full on day.

So, over the years. I’ve bought myself some, other’s have given them to me for my birthday and Christmas. Yet, so far, no double ups!

Of course it’s okay and completely natural to feel “blue” every now and then.

So if you are feeling a little “blue” try to wear a little Blue.

Share Your World…March Week 4, 2018

What is your favorite color of hair? You can name your hair color or a color that you just like.

My natural hair colour is dark brown. I would love though to have fiery red hair…I’ve tried dying my hair, but I would have to completely bleach my hair to get that…Let’s be honest, it’ll probably look great after two washes, and that’s it. I am honest enough to know that I am too lazy to keep up the maintenance.

List at least 5 things that you are good at.

• Listening.
• Loving others…hehe
• Cuddles!

What is your favorite animal or type of animal? (pets, dolphins, stuffed, wild cats, etc)

• I have a lot of stuffed animals and I love them all,lol
• Lions
• Wolves
• Owls
• Bulls (but that because I’m a Taurus)
• Rats
• Whales
• Any monkey
• Really…all of the big cats
• Hyena
• Elephants
• Any animal that’s been on safarilive
• …Any animal really,lol

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

My partner just actually cuddling me…Cuddles and nothing else. Usually he tries to tickle me or “feel me up”, he doesn’t ever just “cuddles”,lol…He’s started this new habit as well very recently…If you’ve ever watched Shrek 2…They are on the way to meet Fiona’s “Mum and Dad” and on the way Donkey keeps clicking with his mouth in their ears…Yep, my partner keeps doing that,lol

Share Your World … October Week 3

Share Your World … October 16, 2017

If you had to move to a country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? 

Do I really have to choose? Australia is doing actually pretty well at the moment, all things considering. Apart from that SSM vote thing -.- I have always wanted to visit Greece a lot, could I live there? Probably…Especially with all that food!

What color would you like your bedroom to be?

I would like a light colour. Something that reflects beautiful colours in the Summer and Spring, without making the room warm. Also not too light though, that it gets dirty really quickly.

What makes you Happy? Make a list of things in your life that bring you joy.

• My dog Pippy
• My partners cat
• My partner
• My family (some of them anyway).
• Music
• Spring
• Funny YouTube Videos
• Safari Live
• A good cup of tea
• A good cup of what my Mum and I call “a proper” cup of coffee…A coffee that isn’t instant.
• A good cup of instant coffee.

What inspired you or what did you appreciate this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

I had an interesting moment of clarity with an old “enemy” of mine this week. She was probably one of the worst bullies I have ever encountered. I dropped down to 43kg (or 94 pounds) because of her and her little cronies. She apparently had a partner who died of cancer. This week one of our mutual friends put out there that she is walking for a cause, one of those ones you can donate too. Most people just donate it and that’s it. Then there’s this girl and is she is going on and on about how she’s donating.

It just irritated me to no end and made me realised how much I just still don’t like her. Then I had a moment where I realised that I have never made someone feel like that. I don’t hurt people, I don’t donate and brag about it. I don’t need someone to die to make me realise how I should help people. She could donate a million dollars and I am still a better person that her.

Orange!

Feel free to add your floral photo to the comments. This way we can all enjoy everyone’s flowers. Qi (energy) hugs Cee

What color do you feel most comfortable wearing?

This is an interesting question because there is actually a colour that I really love to wear, but normally when I’m feeling a bit more extroverted. I like to wear red when I’m feeling a bit “extra”, but I cannot wear it when I’m feeling shy. So this is a really interesting question. I do have this kind of awareness, that certain colours can project certain emotions. When I’m at work for example as well, I tend to wear, not all black, but darker colours. Colours like purples, blues. I do have a green top and I love the colouring of the green, but I haven’t been brave enough to wear it anywhere.

What is your favorite type of dog? (can be anything from a specific breed, a stuffed animal or character in a movie)

Although I do have and have had Pomeranian and Chihuahuas as the only dogs that we have ever had. The type of dogs that I have always wanted is either a Husky, or a Rottweiler. They just always seems like really sweet dogs especially when they are properly taken care. However, I will probably never get one because I know that they would be a lot to handle, I’m too laid back really.

List at least five favorite flowers or plants.

1. Roses (I know, cliche)
2. Lilies…I know they are the “death flower” but they are so gorgeous!
3. Cherry Blossoms…They are so beautiful!
4. I actually kind of like cactus, they are sort of weirdly beautiful.
5. There’s nothing better than a big old oak.

What inspired you this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

I have had a lot happen this week, some good, some not so good…and this all I can think of…A lot of people like being treated like dirt…lol…Not the nicest of inspiration, but it was just something that I’ve noticed. I have always been of the mind of why make your life harder than it already is? I’m starting to wonder if some people actually enjoy it? It has inspired me in the way though that maybe I am normal,lol…I have more of a good self esteem. I might actually write  Blog about some things that have been happening to me this week, because it’s been a really odd week,lol

If you lost a bet and had to dye your hair a color of the rainbow for a week, what color would it be?  

I feel like this is supposed to be a bad thing, but I would LOVE to dye my hair Violet. I have actually really wanted to do that for a while. However, I do not like the idea of having to bleach my hair again. I did that once to get red in and I feel the damage already. My hair is really dark, so I’d have to bleach it.

If you could choose one word to focus on for 2017, what would it be?

Happiness…Last year was so up and down, and although it wasn’t a horrible year. My health though held me back a lot last year on a lot of things that I want to do. So even if my health doesn’t improve, which I can tell it is. I want to focus on anything that just makes me happy, whether I’m outside, inside, by myself or with others. Nothings going to happen if I’m miserable and I give in!

What was one thing you learned last year that you added to your life?

Be assertive! I have struggled with that so much for the whole of my life. After an certain incident last year, I was not assertive enough. Although the person was pretty unreasonable, I should have made them pull over, or kicked the car door open. Or even actually pee all over their car since they wouldn’t let me out. That would have taught them!

If life was ‘just a bowl of cherries’… which fruit other than a cherry would you be..?

I think I would probably be a Grape. Never sour (most of the time), satisfying. Small, easy to fit your pocket,lol … Healthy for you,lol

Dictionary Meaning

*Now I have putting this post off for a very long time, been debating whether to post or not…But I felt like it needed to be said. I genuinely see a worrying trend starting to happen*

The dictionary term of racism is as follows:

racism

ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/

noun

 

1. the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

   “theories of racism”

   • prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.

     “a programme to combat racism”

     I read this and not in one single term or meaning of racism ANYWHERE in the whole entire world does it say anywhere that racism only occurs in one group of colour of people? It does not matter what you “think” this is the facts of the case. There is no mention that racism occurs in only one colour of people. So why do everywhere do I read, it’s not racist if one colour is racist towards another because that person has experienced more racism than the other person? Bad English?

     No if you’re racist, you’re racist. What else is it?

     I know this is not my usual happy-go-lucky post. I am just starting to find it really disturbing though how someone can say they are not racist because the other person doesn’t “understand” but the comments and the hatred, while spewing hatred towards another colour, it feels very segregated. It disturbs me on a level I can’t explain.

     Racism is Racism and Hatred is Hatred, it knows no colour.

   I get that I don’t get what it’s like to be of another colour, but I do get fear and I get hatred. I don’t get going backwards and turning into something you hate and doing the exact same things as something you hate. I guess it’s like the situation with a bully, a lot of the times a bully is a bully because they themselves, have been bullied. I just want to understand I guess.

   I do get how putting people into boxes can lead to bloodshed and something much worse than opening up to communication and trying to understand. Let me in, let me understand what it’s like. I love people of all backgrounds, I know lot’s of people from different backgrounds. I’ve grown up with a lot of different backgrounds and I don’t understand racist people. Understanding our differences, it’s the only way we can understand what makes this world tick, what makes it wonderful.

   When has putting ourselves into boxes and categories and “they’re not us” mentality…EVER…worked?
