Jamie lee Curtis is preaching to me right now! Thanks to TiVo I am able to watch what I want when I want.

She is talking about authenticity and not being conformed by the culture of our day. The way sex sells and how she hates fashion and the way it puts people into boxes.

The layers that culture lay on top of people and moving beyond it.

Representing the truth, finding the gold in people is authenticity. Allowing culture to tell you that you have to be young, pretty, with it to be happy…is not authenticity.

I agree, find the truth for you. Create large, don’t copy. Find your own voice!

Tuesdays with Morrie says it this way ‘the culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it!’

Show your authentic self…

My journal, my bible, my devotional, another journal and my pencil case, breath in, breathe out.

My earphones, Brooke tunes, wallpaper, a postcard to a bestie, sharpies….breathe in, breathe out!

My worries out on paper, my mind cleared of it’s woes, truth treasure hunted from the word, hope rising in the distance. Breathe in, breathe out.

Contemplation of my broken thoughts, dugustation of inspiration from others, the tease of future potential, the fear of failure, coffee beans grind, schoolkids afternoon baby cino treats. Breathe in, breathe out…

A new cafe

Some time escaped from the pressure and demands.

Breathe in

Breathe out

Perspective gained

Hope found

Potential grasped and unlocked

Favourite Things: Flour coverved hands…

150g butter

115g dark brown suger

175g honey

200g plain flour

1 1/2 teaspoons of Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 Tablespoon finely chopped rosemary leaves

2 eggs beaten

I have started to collect Winnie the pooh vintage books ready for my family. I made this honey cake, with a splash of rosemary. Its outstanding. Try it out on a sunny Saturday afternoon with a chammomile tea.

Grease and line the base of a cake tin. Put the butter, brown sugar and honey in a small saucepan and add 1 tablespoon of water. Heat gently, stiring once or twice, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Leave to cool for 15 mins. Preheat the oven 180C

Sift the flour; Baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl and add rosemary. Add the honey mixture and eggs and beat until smooth.

Pour into the cake tin and bake for 35-40 mins.

Ice with lemon icing and some rosemary flowers.

AMAZING!!!

Favourite things: little pressies in the mail…

A great friend of mine and her very new fiancé (soon to be a great friend) sent me the cutest little package in the mail a pack of card off cuts!

So in my quest to rage a war against consumerism I am on my way tonight to make a heap if cards for mothers day and upcoming birthdays, weddings and the like!

I love home made cards I cannot understand why people spend $7 on a card and wrapping befuddles me.

Cards ahoy.

I am trying to clear out the last of my stock of book number one so I can get on with book number two which is burgeoning right now. ‘Capture 30 days 2, desperate for change…’ Is eagerly awaiting publication, but financially I need some help.

So I am doing a web special.

All books are $10 each, for orders of 5 or more.

So if you are a gift giver and want some gift stocks in your back room of my book then email info@capture30days and I will get the books to you asap.

5 books for $50 is pretty good considering the recommended retails is $29.95 each.

Much Love and thanks for your support.
