My Monday Mantra

Just popping in to say

Enjoy the rest of the week everyone :)
Have an AWSOME weekend
And I'll see you next week

I AM

I'm stronger because of my hard times,

wiser because of my mistakes,

happier because of my sad experiences,

and smarter because of my moments of confusion

True Beauty

Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

Behold I see beauty.

Well the 2nd most beautiful pair of feet I've ever seen at least.

:)

Just dont know.

There's so much going on again.
I have so much on my mind.
And I just dont know anymore whats expected of me.
Who or what I'm meant to be.
I thought I'd conquered at least some of this.
I guess I was wrong.
Guess you could say I'm officially lost
even if it's only in thought

True Colours

You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small

But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up
because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

*****

I see YOU and you're like all the colours of the rainbow to me

Just a thought

Everybody seems to want to negotiate everything these days.

Whether it's, a cellphone contract, a new car or even worse who and how they love.

Well I'm sorry I may be open to compromise on a lot of things

but

Who I Love and how I love them is

NOT NEGOTIABLE

Welcome to the weekend

Never

I don’t know why she’s with me
I only brought her trouble since the day she met me
If I was her, by now I would have left me
I would have walked away
But now I’ve broken away
Somehow instead she forgave me
She said a woman’s got to do what she’s got to do
Even if it means she denied herself the truth
Cause when you’re in too deep you wake up when it’s too late,
You’ve fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don’t go now then you’ll stay
Cause I’ll never let you leave, never let you breathe
Cause if you’re looking for heaven, baby it sure as hell ain’t me

So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it’s too late
So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it’s too late
But still she stays

She’s standing in the heart of darkness
Saying I know you got a soul even though you’re heartless
How could any woman in their right mind be so blind,
To find something this safe
Instead of walking with me she should have walked away

She finds color in the darkest places
She finds beauty in the saddest of faces
For such a clued in, headstrong city girl
Could’ve had the world but she’s fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don’t go now then you’ll stay
Cause I’ll never let you leave, never let you breathe
Cause if you’re looking for heaven, baby it sure as hell ain’t me

So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it’s too late
So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it’s too late
But still she stays
(Oh, yeah)
But still she stays
(Oh, yeah)

I don’t know why she’s with me
I only brought her trouble since the day she met me
If I was her, by now I would have left me
I would have walked away

But you’ve fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don’t go now then you’ll stay
Cause I’ll never let you leave, never let you breathe
Cause if you’re looking for heaven, baby it sure as hell ain’t me

So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it’s too late
So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it’s too late
But still she stays

(Yeah)
But still she stays, eh
I’m saying walk away
Yeah
I’m saying walk away
(Save yourself from the heartache, go now before it’s too late)
But still she stays
Still she stays
Yeah, she stays
She stays

Almost

Then I was somewhere else, and it was bright. A voice said

"If you'd carried on practicing that song you almost got right, you would've been great. Bigger than the Beatles."

It continued

"If you'd carried on working on that book you almost finished, it would've changed the lives of many, many people."

Then it said

"If you'd tried to reach the one you loved just a little bit more, when you almost had them, your life would've been completely different."

And I asked

"Is this what happens when I die?"

And the voice said

"Almost."

I borrowed this one from here, It's just too good not to share and frankly it made me think of someone very special so I thought I'd let them know I'm thinking of you ;)

Stuck in an 80's rock rut today :)

Open Arms lyrics

Songwriters: Cain, Jonathan; Perry, Steve;

Lying beside you here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind?

We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me,

Open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me

Open arms

*Insert some witty title generated by my witty title generator*

I always seem to be being told to let go and clear my mind these days.

Long story, which has me with way to much on my mind really but that's not the point here;)

Anyway back to what this is about.

Meditation isn't either but it lends a little to what I feel i want to say today.

To some this is something they can't live without but to me it's always been a bit of a swear word because for some reason I've never been able to really let go and clear my mind. Something always pops in to my head that distracts me and so these attempts have left me feeling more of a failure than anything else so I've pretty much avoided it.

Never being one to just give up though, I've kept on dabbling despite not succeeding. So in the early hours of this morning since I wasn't sleeping anyway I decided to give it a try again.

Lit some candles, lit some incense sticks, got comfyish on the floor and focused on the flame and attempted to clear my mind. No easy feat really when you have as much on your mind as I currently do but that's besides the point.

So here I am 2.30 in the morning sitting on the floor, staring at this flame feeling like a bit of a noonah cause I kept on thinking about all the stuff going on :/ And then it it happened. A peace like I haven't experienced before. It's hard to describe and I'm not going to try, that would just be silly. Suffice it to say, I may give this meditation thing another try.

Anyway that's actually not why I started this post really but it seemed appropriate to share considering that what I actually wanted to say comes out of this experience. When I finally started to get a little chilly at around 3.45 and blew out my candles and got up off the floor, a verse out of a song was rattling round my head, actually can't seem to get rid of it even now so I thought I'd share it. Not to much of a fan Robbie Williams although I will admit to adoring one of his songs but this line just seems so important right now for so many different reasons.

So as Robbie Williams says

" If you're willing to change the world

Let LOVE be your energy

I can't contain how I feel

When your love shines down on me"

Hope you all have a day filled with LOVE, Laughter and Light

Sounds crazy but SO true

Don't

Don't
Don't stop talking
'cause when you start again
it won't make sense.
Don't
Don't stop breathing.
You've got to carry on
despite the evidence.

'Cause we
will fall in love
because we need
to fall in love.

I am here,
dumb enough to care to much
young enough to believe in love.
Where are you?
Overdosed on liberty,
I was never meant to be that free.
But I believe
that you
and I

Don't
Don't stop walking
'cause when you start again
nothing starts again.
And don't
Don't stop singing
when you start a song
sing it to the end.

'Cause we
will fall in love
because we need
to fall in love.

I am here
dumb enough to care to much
young enough to believe in love.
Where, where are you?
Overdosed on liberty,
we were never meant to be that free.
So I believe
that you
and I

As sure as man created God
we were meant to be in love.
I'm sure if God created us
he'd realise
that we arrive

I am here
dumb enough to care to much
young enough to believe in love.
Where are you?
Overdosed on liberty,
we were never meant to be that free.
So I believe
that you
you and I

Need I say more

*sigh* Nobody says it better

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”

Always

Love

"Wisdom is knowing I am nothing.

Love is knowing I am everything

and between the two,

my life moves."

Nisargadatta Maharaj

Architects of a new dawn

‎"From my perception it is better to uphold the light and the love we are

then to unnecessarily try to control other people's growth. This is the

uphold pocket. It is my joy to share this with you. My gratitude and

respect to the lady that created this" -Carlos Santana

To inspire, uplift, engage, and transform the global community through music and positive media content.

To help bring about a world where we choose peace over conflict and love over fear.

GO and have a look its well worth it in my opinion

In dreams

No vision and you perish;

No ideal, and you're lost;

Your heart must ever cherish

Some faith at any cost.

Some hope, some dream to cling to,

Some rainbow in the sky,

Some melody to sing to,

Some service that is high.

Can't seem to find the words

I have so much I want to say but my words are failing me.

So in the meantime here's a pretty and hopefully it will grow into what it is I want to say ;)

Always

You touch these tired eyes of mine
And map my face out line by line
And somehow growing old feels fine
I listen close for I'm not smart
You wrap you thoughts in works of art
And they're hanging on the walls of my heart

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours

You heeled these scars over time
Embraced my soul
You loved my mind
You're the only angel in my life
The day news came my best friend died
My knees went week and you saw me cry
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
I know I don't fit in that much
But I'm yours

Cause with age comes wisdom or so they say

First time that i saw you,
lookin' like you did...
we were young we were restless,
just two clueless kids...

But if i knew then, what i know now,
I'd fall in love...

On a bus in Chicago,
three rows to the left...
you know my heart was racing for you,
but we never even met...

But if i knew then, what i know now,
I'd fall in love...

'Cuz love only comes,
once in awhile...
knocks on your door,
and throws you a smile...
takes every breathe,
leaves every scar...
it speaks to your soul,
and sings to your heart...

But if i knew then, what i know now,
id fall in love...

On a sunny night in August,
backseat of my car...
instead of tryin to get to know you,
i took it way too far...

But if i knew then, what i know now,
I'd fall in love...

Oh...
'Cuz love only comes,
once in awhile...
knocks on your door,
and throws you a smile...
it takes every breathe,
leaves every scar...
it speaks to your soul,
and sings to your heart...

But if i knew then, what i know now,
id fall in love...

Oh i used up alot of chances,
i cant get them back...
but if again it comes callin',
I'm gonna make it last...

'Cuz love only comes,
once in awhile...
it knocks on your door,
and throws you a smile...
it takes every breathe,
leaves every scar...
it speaks to your soul,
sings to your heart...

But if i knew then, what i know now,
whoa if i knew then, what i know now...

id fall in love....

Odd Place

Alone

What life is made of

*giggle*

When you came in the air went out.
And every shadow filled up with doubt.
I don't know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.

I'm the kind to sit up in his room.
Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue.
I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you.

When you came in the air went out.
And all those shadows there filled up with doubt.
I don't know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.
I wanna do real bad things with you.
Ow, ooh.

I don't know what you've done to me,
But I know this much is true:
I wanna do bad things with you.
I wanna do real bad things with you.
