remember me

sunlight streams through the window

shadows flee

as forlorn feet make their solemn march

around the corner

towards the front

following the funeral car

tears, though silent as they fall

are heard by one 

by one and all

and the trees tell us a story 

of a man who breathed his last

remember me

when the soft wind blows

when the frost kills the flowers

and there's no more sun

don't forget me

breathe in the scent

of your one

your one and only love

NATURAL

My word for 2014 is NATURAL. I'm striving to be NATURAL in the way I dress, NATURAL in the way I look after my body, NATURAL in the way I present myself, NATURAL in the way I eat. To be my NATURAL self, the real me. 

My aim for 2014 is to get back to the way it was 100yrs ago. To make more of my own products, (soaps, etc.) to live the way I was created to. 

I started the natural journey at the end of last year. I now wash my hair with bicarbonate soda & apple cider vinegar. I've found a way of eating which incorporates fats, carbs, & protein. (It's called Trim Healthy Mama, if you're interested. Look it up, it'll change your life!) I try and find clothes which are made out of 100% cotton (no cotton/polyester mix, & limited polyester fabrics), I also started making my own clothes. Moving towns and starting afresh was wonderful because I can now show my real self. I lived in my hometown for 16yrs, & it was getting a bit too much. I felt I couldn't change because people there knew me a certain way & I didn't want to lose the little friends I had. But, oh well. 

LET'S BE REAL THIS YEAR!

(I'm a bit late on this since it's nearly March. But... better later than never, I always say.)

(In other news, I'm moving back in with my parents in Perth after a wonderful year living out in the wide, open air of Victoria.)
