More About Me
Location: Taunton, Somerset, England
Occupation: full time mum!
My Philosophy On Life: As you set out for Ithaka
Hope your road is a long one
Full of adventure, full of discovery...
Keep Ithaka always in your mind
Arriving there is what you are destined for
But don't hurry the journey at all
Better if it lasts for years.
So you're old by the time you reach the island.
Wealthy with all you've gained on the way.
Not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvellous journey.
Without her you wouldn't have set out
She has nothing left to give you now
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become
So full of experience -
you will have understood by then
What these Ithakas mean

Thoughts are but dreams until their effects be tried (William shakespeare)
People don't care what you know, until they know that you care.
Some pursue happiness - others create it.
Happiness is not having what you want, it is wanting what you have.
I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn to do it (pablo picasso)
Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have.
Life is what you make it - always has been, always will be.
Go the extra mile - it's never crowded!
If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of your own, because no one needs a smile as much as those who have none to give.
life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow we aren't really living.
The greatest danger lies not in setting your aim too high and falling short, but in setting your aim too low and acheiving it.

Now and then it's good to pause in your pursuit for happiness and just be happy :)
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything
Be yourself - no one can ever tell you you're doing it wrong.
Life is a great big canvas and you should throw all the paint at it you can
Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.
Life is only as good as the memories we make.
We could learn alot from crayons - some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull while others are bright, some have weird names but they all have learned to live together in the same box.
To avoid critism, do nothing, say nothing and be nothing.
Great spirits have always encountered great opposition from mediocre minds
If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at the way he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind do not matter, and those who matter do not mind.
As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing it's best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting.

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses :)
Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do.
Two important things are to have genuine interest in people and to be kind to them. Kindness, I've discovered is everything in life.

Kindness in words creates confidence, kindness in thinking creates profoundity, kindness in giving creates love
Hapiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others (buddha)

If you're going through hell - keep going (winston churchill)
