We Love them & They Love Us...

After the first attempt last night to see "The Help" failed,

Lisa and I were finally able to go and watch it tonight and...

OH MY GOSH

I love this movie.

I loved it so much that I cried!

This movie is set in the 1960's

It's about a write who wants to write a book from the view of the help.

In this time in the world the help were African American maids.

Who had less rights in all areas of life then the white people.

Even though they were they ones that were raising the white people's child.

It is such a moving movie,

Heart felt, and such a strong story behind it.

The movie was amazing!

And my sister tells me that the book is even better!

I know which book I'm buying next.

My favourite quote from the movie was...

"You is Kind. You is Smart. You is Important."

Check out the movie, I promise you will love it!

Music Monday...

This Week's Song is...

No Regrets by Dappy

The lyrics is the reason why i LOVE this song!

Especially the chorus.

Live with no regrets!

It is never too late to change your life,

To make it better,

To be a better person.

Be proud of your life!

Do you best!

Be true to yourself!

Stay true to your faith!

Here is the chorus...

“So when you feel like there’s no more nothing left but the life you’ve broken.”

No regrets.. No turning back.. 

Pick up yourself and tell them I’m just being me…
Ohhhhhh,
‘Cos when I look in a mirror…

I don’t even recognize myself,
Got the heart of a winner… 

but looking back at me is someone else.No Regrets, No Regrets,
No point in crying over yesterday
No Regrets, No Regrets,
‘Cos we ain’t even seen the best of days

Listen to the lyrics,

Hope you like this song too!

Another Month....

We Heart It

Wow, I am amazed by how time has flied this year! Can't believe that it's October already!
But I am glad, because it means that the weather is finally going to warm up! Sun I have missed you!

This month is going to be awesome! I can feel it!
Things are being planned, ideas are coming to life!
This month I have so many things which I wish to achieve!
My idea is to share them with you and them report back to you on all of the with my progress through out the month, and *Fingers Crossed* have them all finished by the end of the month!

Here is the list:
*Read 3 books: Been in a bit of a reading rut lately and need to get back into reading!
*Fill up the rest of my journal! I have never fully filled a journal before, but this time I am determined to fill it to the brim.
*Yoga!! My Chiropractor keeps telling me that I have a lot of strength in my body but no flexibility, hence the problems with my whole body, so me and Kat are going to start doing Bikram Yoga!
*Celebrate Halloween! Here is Australia we don't really do anything for Halloween, not like they do over in America. But this year me and my friends are planning our Halloween celebrations as a home-made drive in scary movie!!
*Bike: Two days after I brought my awesome new workout bike, I hurt my back and since haven't been able to use it, but thanks to my amazing Chiropractor I will now be useing it 4 times a week min!
*Eat better & Drink more water! Over the last few weeks I have been naughty, but this month I aim to improve that!
*Project Zero: I am going to mark off as many things off my list as possible over this coming month!
*Take more photos! 
*Have fun & Smile more!

See October is going to be a awesome month!

What do you want to achieve this month??

Life of Learning...

It's interesting when you take the time to slow down in life,

And take the time to notice the simple things in life.

To notice the small wonders of this life,

And the new things that you learn every day.

This week I have learnt...

• My Chiropractor's habbit is swing dancing. 
• My boss has a amazing 80's dress, puffy sleeves & all.
• There are still young gentlemen out in society, with manners & are polite.
• Driving around town at 30kms per hour, so not to spill a hot chocolate is incredibly hilarious.
• Stress is evil! It's not good on anyone! It has a bad effect on your body, mind and those around you too.
• 72 Hours pack is something that I need to put together. They are a must to have in case of a emergency.
• Stretching is great! Feels amazing. I need to become more flexible!
• Giving service is very satisfying.
• Watch a AFL grand final, you can't but get caught up in it, even when you know nothing about the game or go for any team.
• No matter what is happening in you life, no matter how bad, smiling will always make it better!
• Gilmore Girls is amazing, I love everything about it! (Relearned!)

What is something that you have learnt this week?
