Laugh

Gosh we laugh a lot in my family. Particularly when my sister is
around. She's one of those people that gets the giggles and can't
stop. And that sets everyone else off.

Tonight we were all in fits at the state of her poached eggs. They
were abysmal. Just a big round, HARD ball of yolk sitting on her
toast. No whites to be seen anywhere.

And by the time we'd finished laughing, I think they were cold!

I LOVE laughing.

Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people
won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.

Sooo much has happened...

Okay, so I've been MIA for the last week because we moved down to
Christchurch... and the very next day a devastating earthquake hit the
city! We took my mum and got ourselves out of there quick smart. No
mucking around.

So then we spent the next 3 days getting ourselves back to Whangarei.
And here we are. Safe and sound, unharmed... and wondering what we're
going to do now.

Others are not nearly so lucky to be in this predicament. The fatality
count is now at 145. There are many more.

How many people get so close to tragedy and can come out so unscathed.

It's my second chance you think?

I forgot...

I've been having such a great time here in Whangarei that I forgot to
miss my life in Sydney!

Forgot to miss having a place of our own.

Forgot to miss the weather.

Forgot to miss the beach.

Didn't forget to miss my friends tho. :-)

Hairdressers in Whangarei?

Jeepers, you'd think it would be easy to find a hairdresser in your
area on the internet?

Apparently not.

Not like Sydney where almost every hairdresser has their business on
the internet somehow. Things are a little different here in Whangarei.

So let me introduce you to Hairdressers Whangarei.

You can find them here.

Peach Pie Galore!

Oh the peach pies are a hit! Made a big one last night and the Price's
took the leftover half home with them. Aunty Potts has been dropping
huge (unsubtle!) hints at another pie for tonight. So we've picked
peaches this morning, I've just peeled and sliced them all and I'm
waiting for the pastry to thaw so I can make up a pie.

Yumm yumm!
