Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out our courage and strength.

About Me


Vanuatu September 2006 - how amazingly beautiful !! Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
OK, so the challenge is to make this 'about me' section about... 'me' !!
One thing on my 'to do' list is to get better at defining myself in this section - not sure how I'm going to score my successes (or failures) in terms of telling YOU about ME, but you know what?? Maybe I think about it too much :D
I have a 98% positive attitude by nature. The other 2% comes out when something (or someone) annoys me beyond words, but once I have my say, I generally get back to the other 98% of my behaviour. The only reason this is even remotely relevant at this point in time is because I've just written a blog which is reflective of my other 2%...
We only have one chance to make the most of our lives, and I intend on using my chance to the best of my ability. I couldn't live enough years to do all of the things that I would love to do, but I will be sure to enjoy every moment of what I do experience.
I have a beautiful pussy cat called "Splotch" - he's special. There's a few pics of him at Christmas time in my pics section.
OK, sorry... about me.
I have some odd behaviours that have made people giggle at me for years. One of them being that I NEVER take the first can from the shelf in the supermarket... I always go back at least one layer, and if there's only a few left on the shelf, I seriously consider whether I really need the item.
I do like chocolate, but I seldom eat it. Easter eggs and chocolates given to me throughout the year are usually found in the fridge when their expiry date comes around.
My favourite colour is blue.
I've always valued my independence.
I use all 160 characters in my sms as often as I can. It just doesn't feel right to only use 38, or 62, or even 114 - I have to push it to the limit: cos I'm such a rebel !!
Because I'm not limited to characters in here, I'll continue to ramble until I realise I've said too much!
I have a large family, am an Aunty (and a Great Aunty) of many - and I proudly bear the title. I think not having any kids of my own gives me that 'slightly less responsible adult' aura, which has always made me feel closer to my nieces and nephews. I am an Aunty/Great Aunty about 23 times - and yes, I really AM a Great Aunty: my nieces and nephews are having kids (before me !!).
I've started to make sun catchers out of swarovsky crystals and stuff - I was never really into the "girlie" hobbies, but find that I enjoy making these pretty ornaments and giving them as gifts. The fact that I make my sun catchers out of crystals and "stuff" gives a pretty good indication at how new I am to the world of beading and crystals :)
I am proud of my achievements - no matter how big or small. I'm hyped by all the fun things in life, and I always enjoy making a big deal out of the smallest things - that's what makes my day!
If I don't know something, I don't mind admitting it.

My Interests


....

You Are 90% Thankful
You're an incredibly thankful person, and everyone around you feels very appreciated.
You inspire people to be more optimistic, forgiving, and grateful. How Thankful Are You?
Your Life Path Number is 4
Your purpose in life is to build your vision.

You are practical and responsible. You work hard, knowing that there are no shortcuts in life.
You work for a better life for yourself and those you love, but you are not an idealist.
Trustworthy and honest, you also demonstrate great courage. People can count on you.

In love, you are a loyal and committed partner. You are the ideal spouse.

You don't give up easily, and sometimes you can be too stubborn and unwilling to change.
You also can be too conservative at times. You sometime miss out on good opportunities.
Also remember that not everyone can work as hard as you, as disappointing as that is! What Is Your Life Path Number?

I enjoy writing, along with many other things.... Music, movies, chat, photography, gardening, freedom of ..i.e. writing for me), dining out. I'm not a big fan of cooking, because it's just no fun doing it for one - I can be inspired, but I usually leave the joys of cooking to those who really enjoy it, and who feel rewarded for their efforts :-P

Your Attitude is Better than 85% of the Population
You've got a winner attitude. You're always optimistic and cheery. Your personality will get you far in life. How's Your Attitude?

I'd like to meet:


People with an awesome sense of humour, who can laugh at themselves and at life, but also realise that the responsibility for their own success in life is completely up to them (that's a bit deep, isn't it!!??).
Interesting people (and we all think we're interesting, don't we??)
People who have morals, integrity and honesty.

Music:


Lots of variety. I have to admit, I'm an 80's fan, and love top 40's. I've been won over to new types of music before (some quite quickly in fact), but really not keen on the heavy... I don't follow bands or individual singers, but I like dance, R&B, reggae, funk, you know - anything with an awesome beat :-D I have eclectic taste that varies from Bob Marley to Christina Aguilera, Barrington Levy to Saba, and everything in between. Music plays a big part in making me feel alive, it always has and always will.

You Are Most Like Liv Tyler
“I don't want to spend so much time obsessing about myself.� What Modern Bombshell Are You Most Like?

Movies:


Many different types from different era's. Favourite movies I've seen recently are 'Fun with Dick & Jane' and "The Lakehouse". Naturally, I love the girlie flicks, but also into brain teasers and lots of variety. I would sit through Star Wars and Star Trek (that's the one with Spock, isn't it??), IF I had to but they're not high on my list of must see's. I completely lost interest when I heard that Star Wars started at number 4 and .... oh, who cares !?
Jim Carrey, Nicholas Cage, John Travolta, Harrison Ford, Julia Roberts, Brittany Murphy, Tea Leoni, Hilary Duff are some of my fave's.

Television:

Not a lot at the moment. A must see for me is HEROES.... I sometimes get to watch House, Cold Case, All Saints and music/dance shows (aka Dancing with the Stars, Australian Idol) when I'm not doing anything else

Books:

I enjoy reading. Self development, non-fiction, fiction, magazines (not Woman's Dreary). I generally don't pick up the newspaper, far too depressing for day to day life !

Heroes:

Richard Branson, Paul Clitheroe, my family, and my friends. And Jim Carrey - he always makes me laugh.
Your Aura is Red
Your Personality: Self-confident and stunning, you live in the now! You love life and experience all it has to offer.
You in Love: You're a bit private and have trouble opening up. You need a secure guy who can deal with your independence.
Your Career: Your ideal job gives you a ton of control and concrete results. Consider being a chef, surgeon, or architect. What Color Is Your Aura?
Wear Sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience
I will dispense this advice now
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth;
oh never mind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.
You're not as fat as you imagine.
Dont worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing
Dont be reckless with other peoples hearts, dont put up with people who are reckless with yours.
FlossDont waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes youre behind, the race is long, and in the end, its only with yourself.Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.StretchDont feel guilty if you dont know what you want to do with your lifethe most interesting people I know didnt know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds know still dont.Get plenty of calcium.Be kind to your knees, youll miss them when theyre gone.Maybe you'll marry, maybe you wont, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary,what ever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either your choices are half chance, so are everybody elses. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can, don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, its the greatest instrument you'll ever own..Dance even if you have no where to do it but in your own living room.Read the directions, even if you dont follow them.Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.Travel.Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do youll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.Respect your elders.Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.Dont mess too much with your hair, or by the time its 40, it will look 85.Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than its worth.But trust me on the sunscreen...
