Words

 

Wake up and be present in your life. Be present in your life. Be present in your life. Do not concern yourself with the happenings of others. Honour them, yes. Love and embrace their well-being, yes. But leave the mouth-wagging, nitty gritty of their lives to them. Live your own fire. Fuel your own drive. Be gentle with the souls of others, be gentle with yourself. Do not concern yourself with cents and pennies. Do not chase rectangle notes of paper. Chase dreams, chase big ideas, chase your ideal spirit. Criticism comes from the hearts of those who were not brave enough to chase their own. Do not pity them, take their hand, guide them, so that they may see the bright kingdom that you are building. Enlighten them, enlighten yourself. Be bolder than you could imagine, be bigger than you thought possible. Grow in self-awareness. Be yourself. Be radiant. 

Be free.

my computer folders

I was looking at my computer folders today as I was saving some of my cartoons. The way they are named on my computer when they all sit together is rather fun. This is a list of how my cartoon folders are saved on my computer (commas removed for more laugh factor):

I have linked back to these cartoons (so you can click on them if you think you may have missed any-I'm nice like that)...and some of these titles have not been posted yet... coming soon! Happy Sunday x

just words

So at the advice of my very (sometimes) wise brother I have decided to do a post with just writing. I feel awkward about writing .. oh wait... scratch. There isn't any reason why I should feel more comfortable drawing pictures - it's not like I'm Van Gogh. I'm more like Picasso. But not really Picasso - more just like Picasso-esque... like my cartoon eyeballs look like they are lopsided and my mouths look like they are eating the whole face... and everything is slightly off. But if you squint your eyes you can make something cohesive out of it and maybe even you can have a little chuckle at the expense of my mad-cooking skills or my over-active imagination. 
So what's happened in the past 24 hours... I got a phone call from my mom at about midnight:


Me: (whispers in italics) Hello
Mom: oh Hello! Did I wake you?
Me: No, but I can't really talk right now - Rachel is lying next to me and she's sleeping.
Mom: oh ok - I just wanted to say well done on your blog being a finalist! That's great!
Me: Thanks mom! 
Mom: I'm going to go and vote.
Me: Ok thanks mom! and tell your friends!
Mom: Ok. I will call you tomorrow. 
Me: ya OK - I don't want to wake up Rachel
Mom: Why am I whispering?
Me: I don't know.


I only got to sleep at 5am (over-active brain) and today I will be in a Typhoon.

This is not a make-up day.
