the twins

Place: My Office

Poison: Long Black

Favourite Things: Aly and Marcus Passauer

I grew up with two mums. Recently I found these photos and they made me smile.

They are the most creative, crazy, beautiful, strong, capable women I know. They egg each other on.

They encourage, they inspire, they irritate, they are they!

I dont ring one, without the other yelling in the background.

They spend everyday together.

The level of intimacy they share is inspiring.

Here is my nan and pop and them. (I never met my pop, but he was the most amazing man)

The miracle of the twins though, is Nan and Pop were told they could never have children and they adopted because of this. Then 10 or so years later, and 2 other children, the twins arrived.

God totally uses these two mighty women, with great power.

They are in the process of setting up a soup kitchen for the homeless in their area.

They are amazing.

Who is your partner in crime?

Who is your go to person?

Who do you do life with?

Who strengthens you in the times of sadness?

My mum and eileen are each others who.

Favourite Things: annie on the phone

My lovely green tea cupper who lives on the sunny side of Australia, has launched a website with her amazing artwork.

Here is her reason for selling her art…

‘In case you want to help get me over to the UK in August and help some needy cute little rwandan kids at the same time… I’m selling my art and will personally deliver if I can raise the funds for the flight… soooo… OLIVE JUICE art is now for sale by the pound!! Woo hoo!

If you’re keen to help out, forward this to your friends that have good taste to buy great art! Maybe your boss needs some for the boardroom before the end of financial year??’

Last month I went to a meet the author event with jodi picoult. I had never read any of her works, so I hurriedly went to the library, because I have a no book buying rule for 08′ (WHAT WAS I THINKING!)

Despite my book buying fast, I have been reading more than ever. I am reading what is on my bedside table, friends are lending books to moi (therefore I am reading what I would not normally read) and then serendipitously people are sending me book presents as they feel very, very sorry for me.

back to the topic of this post…

So, I have become a jodi picoult devotee, obsessee, raving lunatic, crazy woman…she was only one table from me.

Her books are fiction, but play around with really topical, dividing moral dilema’s and she manages to present them from many different points of view.

check out her books, go to the library and get them out.

If you have never read them, start. You will be hooked. Worse than caffine, worse than chocolate. Yes, I just said that.

I need to hurry back and read the one half open on my bed ‘Nineteen minutes’.

Am thinking of reviewing some books on here as well.

see ya
