Love is .....?

Love is.. being totally free

To have fun in a summer breeze

walking through the trees

As thick as theives

Love is.... wanting to conquer the world

Together on a mission

To explore what you've heard

about a new position

Love is.... two souls entwined

wrapped up like ivy vines

bound as one behind the blinds

conversing as though from one mind.

Love is.... the unity of two

separate bodies becoming one

with passion that is strong & new

hoping that it will never be gone



Pink!

P!nk

Wow where do I start with this one? :D

She is truly awesome is so many ways. Her music. Her attitude. Most importantly her strength to be purely just herself, inspite of what anyone may have to say!

Her music touches & inspires me. I must be able to relate, in some way, to almost all of her songs/singles from the beginning of her career;

• Like a Pill... "instead of making me better....."
• U & Ur Hand.... "I'm not here for your entertainment..."
• Long way from happy....
• Conversations with my 13 year old self...
• Raise your Glass.... "if you are wrong in all the right ways..."

Not only can she pick me up when I'm down or lighten a dark mood but she also touches my heart with songs like: "Dear Mr. President" & the song that she recorded with her father was .. amazing. She is a true inspirational legend. May she always continue on with the same strength & love in her heart.

Much Love & Respect to Pink! xo









~ "Amazing Grace" ~

"Amazing Grace"

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.



T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.


Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.



The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.



Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.



When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.



"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

Resettlement Programmes

"For providing me with the confidence to approach employers with that level of honesty I must thank & applaud the officers at HMP Askham Grange for leading the way in effective Resettlement Programmes for Offender Rehabilitation. Not forgetting the local businesses who actively take part in the scheme & make it possible. Hope the good work continues. The key thing to remember on this subject is that being as there are criminals involved there is likely to be mis-haps or in some cases total failure but it is not the programme or system that is at fault. It is merely the work of human nature. Where some will thrive in the opportunities given to them, others could also fall flat............................read more"

This is an extract from a post I have just released on my website that discusses my own experience with disclosure of convictions to potential employers & my own thoughts & opinions on 'spent' limitations.

Please read the full article & share your own thoughts or opinions on the subject. It would be interesting to compare.


 


















  

Sex & the City

            

Now Sex & the City may seem like a strange programme to be considered an inspiration, so let me explain... Not only are they all strong, beautiful & glamorous ladies but they are also independently wealthy individuals who still manage to maintain a lasting friendship.

It inspires me to follow my heart, ignore negativity & be myself. It's a lesson in standing up for yourself & staying true to yourself even in difficult times. So many people follow trends in fashion & even lifestyle just because others are doing it. To me those people are just followers without imagination but then I could be wrong, they might just be chasing their own dreams of stardom or similar. I have just never believed that the best way to carry yourself is in the shoes or style of others. How can you honestly claim to be unique when you look like someone esle from head to toe & even down to the way you speak?

I am not & will never be a fashion icon but then I wouldn't let anyone dictate what I should & shouldn't wear. In the same way I couldn't allow someone to tell me how to speak or behave.

I watched Sex & the City today & felt inspired to just be myself & maybe choose my friends & lifestyle much more carefully. They have shown me in two films that it is okay to be yourself, strive for my own ambitions & not worry about what others say about me because all I need is to be true to myself in order to be truly happy in life.
