So Wise

Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds - all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.

Oh the trials of my life lol (definitely said 'tongue in cheek')

Why Wait

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

For the Kewl Girls

These artworks ar by Julian Beever - he draws them in chalk on footpaths around the world. Some of them are you to 40' tall (about 12 metres) just so when you look at them at the right angle you get the three-d effect.

There is some info on Julian and good links on wiki.

btw - in the picture with the frog, the baby is real lol

Free to Be Me

The most important thing is to be whatever you are without shame.

It is a Matter of Perspective

It is undeniable that Jackson influenced the birth and development of the music video. Some may say he was an influence to the overall music industry.

But keep things in perspective. This man was not a saint - and I am not talking about his money situation, Bubbles, sleeping in hypabaric chambers, the skin lightening, the allegations of being anti-Semetic or periodic drug problems.

As stated on the ABC, Jackson was "widely suspected of being a paedophile" and at the very least was 'troubled' in this regard. And lets not forget the "baby over the balcony" (as well as other bizarre appearances by his children with their masks and the like).

So remember him for his music if you must but I ask you to also remember this - next time there is a suspected paedophile in your street, or your neighborhood, would you be so forgiving, so excusing as the world appears to be for Jackson.

Remember Jackson but don't forget the children.

Choose To Be

Happiness, that grand mistress of ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and emandering, but leads none of us by the same route.

Miss Kylie Rulez!!

Miss Kylie treated us on Monday with her perfect vanilla and passionfruit slice. This time I remembered to take a photo before I tucked in :-)

If you want a little slice of heaven, then this is definitely it - creamy custard, tart and flavorful icing, flaky biscuits.

And apologies I am posting this on Friday - I kept forgetting to bring the camera home lol
