Nelson Mandela's Inauguration speech

Pay it forward into 2011

“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, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are 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.”

The above speech by Nelson Mandela was orignally written by Marianne Williamson

Super duper Christmas Party invite

I'd go to this party if I got this invite... I'm applying PoPuP to everything now... doing a client's business cards next... it's like a 90's wedding in here

Probably the COOLEST Picnic table/house I have ever seen

Location:  Black river Gorges main viewpoint - Mauritius

I wish I could find my little photo of picnic tables I did way back in 2000 - roadside picnic tables from here Zambia.  AArrggghhhhhhh  I miss them

Oh well - time to start again

Paper wheels... finally a use for the offcuts

I'll be hanging these as Christmas decorations.

Woohooo finally made something pretty from all those offcuts.

And what happening to the creeper?  Well, it's currently 'frommeled' up on the chair next to the TV - I quite like it all bunched up.  the next task is to get the green wire out and then mush it into a ball and try and get a light in the middle without it catching on fire.

A little corner of my favourite things right now

The dragon dogs - cheap, chinese jade bought in a Mauritius Supermarket
Betty Crocker Cookbook - for the illustrations
Don't & Do - hilarious etiquette book
Yellow puff balls
The horns - from my parents neighbour when she cleared out her garage
Sticks in the corner are the bottom bit of my teak paddles from Lake Niassa

Adam of the Road

Adam will be heading over to the Fringe Arts next week... I miss him already.
