Beware of the garage Doors.

I have a garage door that is operated by a remote and electronically goes up and down. On the weekend we went to open it. The wires flew apart to the side. We then released this part that should of allowed us to freely open the garage door. It went cascading to the ground with my daughter holding onto it. I am so thankful that she was alright. We stood speechless at our experience. Then after hearing horror stories from others, I have realized that God had his hand on her that day. There really should be a huge sign posted on the actual metal door explaining what will happen. I do think there is a small sign on the pull part but nothing on the door.

Please take note anyone who has a garage door please do not mess with it if you see those cables fly leave it alone.

God protected us that day. However if we had seen a sign on that door we would have never been put in such a vulnerable situation.

Counting your blessings I surely do mine.
Thank you God for being there with us.

Cindy Chang

Last night I watched America's got talent. This wonderful woman Cindy Chang was in Vegas singing to go onto the next round. The poor woman did not sing her best though I think amazingly for a woman who had dreamed so long to sing in front of an audience against what her parents had said. Sharon Osbourne told the poor woman you sung below par. The poor woman got off the stage was I that bad.

No Cindy was not that bad, look at all the ridiculous acts that made it through a man jumping into a paddling pool, people dancing on a pole and parrots that could not draw diddly squat. The reality is that Cindy was just nervous. We all do not live every day up to par so to speak. But God sees beyond that standard and sees a humble heart.

My hope for Cindy is that someone sees her amazing voice, her spirit and her Dream and believe me she will go beyond Par.

My Nephews

My nephew Troy turned seventeen today. He is going to join the British Army. This little boy who used to show me his toys and then as he got older played in a school band. He played the drums.
I cannot believe how fast life has gone. My sister's son turned eighteen in March. I remember him playing with this bouncing ball and him saving his pocket money up to buy my daughter a gift.

All I can say is cherish time, it slips through your fingers.

Both young men might never remember the gifts I sent them or the calls I made, but I truly hope one day that they will know and remember how much I loved them.

Take the time each day to just tell someone how much you care.

God only wrote one book and look at how well He did.

I will have to say if anyone gave me a chance to have any jobs other than being a mum I would surely write. I love my blog and I love writing my stories. It is a little discouraging at times though as I rarely have time to send out my stories.
However look at J.K Rowling she was living on benefits yet today look at her. Look at the Beatles who played in night clubs and with in a few years well the rest is history.

God did write one book The Bible and it still stays the worlds best selling book.

At the end of the day it is a matter of keep on dreaming keep on going and keep on pushing forward.

I may not be J.K Rowling but I sure have one thing in common. I am a woman who has big dreams and loves writing.

So whatever your dreams are remember this.

God only wrote one book and Look at how well that has done.

Cysts of life.

I was diagnosed with cysts about wow I guess 5 years ago now. I was very sick I had so much pain going through my side the day I walked into the hospital. Well life has moved on and I have learnt how to deal with it. Cysts can be like trials in our lives, with medication mine cause me little pain, but then every now and again I am feeling very sick tired and aching.

To me trials and sometimes difficult people are like that. You think you have it down packed you have it under control, then sure enough life throws you a curve ball, a cyst so to speak and you just don't know what to do. You run from pillar to post trying to solve it yet at the end of it all. No not pixie dust is going to fix it this time. It is just running often to do good friends that will direct you to God again.

You pick yourself up brush yourself down and off you go again.

I don't like having cysts I think they are not a Royal pain but a big pain in the rear, but I am thankful that they are not worse, I am also thankful for the many people that guide me through the many cyst trials that come my way.

It is those people that make the pain that often comes in life just so much easier and for that I am thankful.

I so hope that in your life you can find a few good friends to help you.

Oblivious to the Truth.

Ever meet someone with the glass half full so speak. They are sarcastic always looking at faults of others and always twisting the truth. It is like they wear purple sunglasses every day. Not seeing the real beauty outside. It is everyone's fault other than their's and they seam almost afraid to admit that they may have a part to play in how their life has ended up. It is as thought a truck is coming towards them at a hundred miles per hour but they do not see it.

Many of these people even admit to be Christians quoting God's words right, left and center.

Reality the truth sets men and women free. In truth you feel hope, in hope their is no glass half full because it is as though someone has taken the key to all those chains and set you free.

I have little tolerance to people playing silly mind games. It leads to only a road of hurt, little do these people know though that they are really hurting themselves. As to keep up with so many lies just keeps them ensnared in a devils life.

In truth seeing the good in others, admitting your faults, loving when you find it hard to, brings true Truth and true happiness.

Please have a cup of tea with me today.

Susie Chang and Susan Boyle Dream Big at any age.

If you have ever thought that dreams could not come true then think again. Susan Boyle

sung on Britains got talent and wowed the crowds

Cindy Chang who appeared on Americas got talent. Stood just a housewife as she put it.

Both one thing in common no one thought for a moment as they stood there that they were going to amount to anything. But think again their voices were pure heavenly.

I have huge respect for those who dream Big.

Beatrix Potter was rejected and rejected yet has become one of the most famous writers of all time. She did not just write but went a step further and preserved a lot of her wonderful land the Lake District.

Sandra Byrd is an amazing author and woman although she was rejected like many writers she kept going. I recently had the privilege of writing to her and sending her one of my stories and this is what she replied "it's a long slog for everyone to get our writing out, but you can press through, I just know it! " " I do think you should pursue your writing, though."

"Your story about the pink daisies is absolutely lovely! Keep submitting it till it finds a publication home,"

A young friend emailed me this after reading my blog."I love your blog (: it's interesting and well written" See people in life often see in one dimension they see what someone looks like and do not see that wow that person has an amazing talent or has something amazing.

Look at some of the amazing artists Monet and Constable to name a few, amazing big dreamers.

It is not in what we see on the outside but seeing beyond and someone seeing that and believing in that.

I don't know but the many people above give me hope. I danced around my room when Sandra wrote to me. I love writing who knows where it will take me. But my biggest hope is that it gives hopes to others.

Don't stop dreaming. Keep believing you never know where it will take you. You are never to old or young to simply Dream Big.
