I don’t always do this, but I loved this one.

How important is self development for you?

Self Development is like the ultimate thing for me.

You can never ever change without it.

There is a line in the song of “Sound of Silence” … “Silence like a cancer grows” and I believe this too be true of everything in life, including ourselves. We all know when we need to change something n our lives. When we ignore it, it only gets worse. It will get to a point where we can’t ingnore.

Our bodies will tell us this, whether it be through actually becoming physically ill. I do believe that not listening to ourselves also affects out mental health, and as well as generally in our lives. We become angrier, we become more depressed, we tend to lash out more.

Self Development should be a top priority for everyone. There are a lot of quotes out there about self development and they are all excellent quotes. At the end of the day, all the quotes in the world, it’s all still up to your self (yes I meant to put a space in-between).

There is not harm to admit you’re not perfect, or that you got something wrong. But if you ignore it, you wont be able too. Your body will let you know.

Silence is Golden … I am the thunder.

If you’re being unnecessarily cruel,

If you’re being intentionally bigoted,

If you’re being harmfully outspoken,

If you can’t even think for a second what kind of comment you’re making to a complete stranger,

If you just have to tell us what you hatefully “think”. Seriously, the amount of times I’ve had to tell people “I don’t care what you think” this week.

If you just can’t just shut up … Nope …

Not a “Yes sir”, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder

Feel my Thunder.

No more talking

I am so OVER the hard right, saying that “Liberals” and the Left want to silence the Right. They don’t want to silence anyone, they just want people to think about others. Think about the consequences of what their words and actions have done and do do. I’ve said it once, I will say it again, America’s arrogance that they’re the greatest country and full of the greatest people, there’s no problem with America, will be it’s downfall. By voting Trump, by the PEOPLE…That has been proven to be true.

Here in Australia, we are a good country, but it would be arrogant of myself to say we are the greatest, we simply are not. We’re better than America though =P

Education is key to where a country is.

American education 2020: A tragically unreported catastrophe

America WAS a great country, not so much now.

YOU CAN NEVER FIX A PROBLEM IF YOU CAN’T ACKNOWLEDGE IT.

Also, I apologise, I was putting up my Christmas Tree last night, so I was not talking, lol

Not getting married … yet … Some really good ideas though!

Bride reveals common wedding mistake to avoid: ‘Don’t do it’

In this article, the Bride talks about how she showed off her dress to everyone…Except the expecting hubby. She said it’s the one regret she has. As the wedding became more real, she started to doubt her dress.

She continued, “People are bad liars and no matter how hard they try, if they don’t like your dress, when you show them that photo, it will show on their face, their true feelings will show.  “So even if you truly love your dress and feel great in it, those little opinions will subconsciously start to taint your perspective of your own dress.”

As the title suggests, I am not married and am not engaged. Yet, I’ve been told what I can wear, what colour the dress needs to be, I can only wear white (yeah, that’s not going to happen) for the “religious” people. Don’t get me wrong, I’d look nice in a white dress. But a plain white dress?

… Like … I’m not marrying these Religious people … I would be marrying my partner, who also told me I HAD to wear white, because some people in his family are religious.

Like, sorry…My partner is an atheist, and I’m nearly 40 and not a virgin.

Fine, I wont wear a red wedding dress…But neither am I going to wear white … I’m thinking Lavender … Maybe green or yellow

I’ve been told who I can invite, who I cannot invite.

I’ve been told where I can and cannot have it.

I am already considering security.

I‘M NOT EVEN ENGAGED!

My ideas have changed over the years for the type of wedding I’d like. There’s a couple of things I know what I want.

I would like my bouquet to have Australian Native, some type English Rose and Edelweiss…My partner’s ancestry is from Germany.

But that’s it, haha…Like I keep changing my mind with everything else, lol.

Yeah, I think it’s a really good idea when it comes to a Wedding to keep as much as you can a secret. This could apply to other things as well, like … your child’s name. SO many people want to get involved in that one too!

Yeah…White? Keep dreaming! haha

I Like You…Because you are awesome!

Apparently Kanye West has trouble answering why he likes Trump SO much…

You know this guy…

Seems to have trouble several times answering WHY he likes Trump…Even though he has actually been asked this question before. It should be THAT hard of a question. Even if he hadn’t before, it’s really not that hard of a question to answer, surely? The guy who said George Bush doesn’t care about black people. The guy who has a statement for literally EVERYTHING…Can’t talk?

I have never liked Kayne West, but damn, hopefully the African American community WILL care about his silence … My current pinned tweet on my Twitter account.

Dear @kanyewest The silence on a simple question IS deafening, your silence to a “leader” who dictates that NFL players HAVE to stand for the Anthem, while they die in the street by those who are supposed to protect IS deafening. Your silence IS your answer. #complicit #takeaknee

I should stop letting him get to me so much, but his silence IS dangerous!

Remembrance <3

Today is a very special day in Australia Day and I feel like with I can safely come back to social media, because it is very important to remember this and never forget!

What is Remembrance Day?

Remembrance Day (can also be known as Poppy Day) is a day of memorial and is observed in the Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War to remember those of the armed forces who have died in the line of duty.

Every year, on this day, Australians observe a one minute’s silence at 11 am on November the 11th, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts.

“At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years continuous warfare.” Australian War Memorial.

Continuing with my theme from Monday: The “Art” of Lying

Share Your World!

So I have started a new Blog Challenge! Share Your World! The questions are asked every single Monday, but I will be posting mine on Thursday.

Pleas click the picture below to take you the original Blog post of “Share Your World” blog challenge!

Share Your World – 2015 Week #14

What type of music relaxes you the most or do you prefer silence?

This is kind of a “little from column A and a little from column B” answer. I have moods where I need the music to distract myself, but I also have the times where I need the silence. I have found a type of music though recently (literally this week) where I can listen to the music at any-time … Look up David Arkenstone, you wont be disappointed!

Show us a two of your favorites photographs?  Explain why they are your favorite.   If you are not a photographer, think of a two favorite scenes in your life and tell us about them.

 This is more a of a screenshot of a live safari feed that I watch. If you read my Blog, you will already know how much I love this Safari feed. This one just reminds me of how little baby elephants truly are. How anyone could want to kill such a sweet thing, is beyond me.

 Oh, come on…What’s NOT to love about this photo?lol…It created such fun and happy times.

What is your favorite tradition? (family tradition, church tradition, whatever)

Christmas…I LOVE Christmas and over the years we have changed some and improved others. One of my favourite traditions though is when the adults have our secret santa presents. My Grandfather passed a few years ago and one of his “things” was to wrap presents in newspaper, and since he passed every Christmas the adults wrap their secret Santa presents in newspaper. One of the reasons its my favourite is because we live all over the country, we swap newspapers to wrap the presents in and spend most of the day trying to guess who is whose “Secret Santa”.

If you could go back and talk to yourself at age 18 what advice would you give yourself?  Or if you are younger than 25 what words of wisdom would you like to tell yourself at age 50?

Keep up with the travelling, but work towards becoming a Librarian earlier. If you have to work full time and study at the same time…DO IT!

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

My partner not making me feel guilty about wanting to spend some alone time, because I was stressed out about an assignment due this week. I am looking forward to NOT having to make another public presentation…Ever Again!lol

I didn’t expect this…

I’ve only been on the online dating site for a couple of days and I already have two guys that I’m interested in and they seem interested in me too…

In the moments though when I am not talking to them and those silent few minutes before I asleep. I am suddenly reminded of the heartbreak that I have only recently endured and it comes all flooding back to me and then I am paralysed again by fear and I just want to go back to the beginning of the year and start all over again.

I don’t want to feel like this any-more, I want to be happy, I don’t want to be sad. It is easy to forgive, it’s hard to forget. I wish that there was someone who could just give me one big hug and tell me that it was all going to be okay and for once be able to believe it myself.

99 Problems…but you wont be one of them…

Sitting here with a great cup of coffee, getting ready for what should I post about next? Then realising I have not written about being single, I figure that I should =P For me any-ways, at the moment everything has been drama free and I have been loving the quiet and peace that comes along with not really having to answer to someone.

One interesting thing that I have found when you are single is how people will react to you about relationship matters. A lot of my friends wont even tell me that they’ve met someone else for fear or “upsetting” me. Some of my friends constantly complain about their relationships, making me feel really grateful that I don’t have to worry about any of that. Especially when most of them people complaining, don’t actually want to talk about their problems with their actual partner.

I never judge a relationship either by Facebook, its amazing what people will tell you when they’re drunk. So one of the best pieces of advice I can give about being single (or if you are having trouble watching an ex move on, on Facebook) … Chill … No one EVER posts about what a miserable time that they are having when it comes to their relationship on Facebook. Also staying away from Facebook all together and NOT stalking your ex’s Facebook is a good piece of advice, block them…Block them right now!

Even with the beginning of a new relationship, that can be full of such doubt for my friends. One of my girlfriends, the guy is clearly a player. Kissed her and then let her know he was seeing someone, so she thinks it can’t be that serious…but still I told her to stay away.

Nope…I am really enjoying being single, no problems and all drama free.
