About this blog

This blog is going to be about a number of things. It’s going to be about me, my life, self-improvement, cats, books, TV, things that interest me, routine care, products, God and more. Make sure you join in for the ride too.

Celebrity Big Brother

I am soo loving Leslie on Celebrity Big Brother. Wow he’s awesome. Also can’t wait to see more of David, Dee, Frenchy, Gary, George, James, Kellie, Lauren, Ricci and Stephanie. The drama that unfolded between Leslie and Frenchy was just the most amazing thing to watch. Especially when Frenchy went for Leslie’s pants with the scissors, lol!

The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars was such an amazing movie. Just finished watching it! If you haven’t watched this film yet you definitely need to. It is sad as you would expect and it certainly did make me upset at certain scenes but it was just such a nice movie. Though no worries it isn’t extremely sad as I’m guessing some people would be making out from its trailer. Hazel and Gus are two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel’s other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg, and they met and fell in love at a cancer support group.

Worming cats

Cats get worms. It’s a fact. Please cat owners remember to regularly treat your cat for worms.

Time to get a move on

Gotta be staying proactive : )

Job

If I don’t get a call from the place I had the interview at sometime next week that would mean I didn’t get the job :( Here’s hoping lol.

The Cat

I love Eve. She makes me so happy.

Morning and Night, Everyday

We must all brush our teeth everyday. Once in the morning and then at night!!

Dentist

Yippee no more dentist appointments

Meditation

Today I thought I’d write about meditation and the amazing benefits that it can bring. Meditation is truly such a powerful tool and the peace that it can bring about for someone is really indescribable. How it can calm someone, how it can still the soul and bring such contentment is really wondrous. It enriches a person’s life for the better.

 

Many people do not unfortunately practice meditation and that is such a shame. On the other hand though, there are of course people who do too. If you were to ask me personally though I would definitely have to say that we could be having so many more people meditating out there but there you go.

 

Meditation offers life improvement and fulfilment. It is actually the one thing which has the greatest single capacity for actually helping someone in their life. Whether you want more determination or just a stress free life, meditation can help. If you can pursue it with effort and sincerity, your energies will be rewarded manifold.

 

Also meditation doesn’t have to be taken from the mystical point of view at all. I do realize that at first glance it does seem that most publications have been written by mystics of one sort or another but don’t let this put you off. Meditation is a personal thing and it is not something that is grounded in mysticism.

RIP Robin Williams

Rest in peace Robin Williams! Best actor.

Calm

Close your eyes and you will see clearly,
Cease to listen and you will hear truth.

Job

Really hope I get the job. Went to an interview today!

How I came to call my cat Eve

Eve gets her name from the Eve in the Bible. Adam called his wife’s name Eve because she was the mother of all living. In a similar way, I chose to name my cat Eve because she would be the mother of all cats to me, as in she would be the first cat that I had owned.
