Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of! The heck with sugar and spice.
Bethany Hamilton
I came across this quote a few months ago and have wanted to share it since then. Isn’t it great? It takes us women out of the ‘sweet’ box and shows that we’re just as intent on doing what we really want to do as any man out there.
I’m sorry for being so quiet last week. I had an awful week as far as rest goes. I spent the entire weekend sleeping and cleaning because I was barely able to function after five days of insomnia.
I don’t mind the lack of sleep, what bugs me is how badly it affects my ability to string sentences together. It renders me incapable of focusing and in turn my essential daily communication and work suffers. So all going well, this week we’re back to normal!
I’ve got some new businesses to introduce you to this week, by women who were once little girls but have grown to fit the exact description in the quote above. Well, maybe, like me, there’s still a bit of sugar and spice in them hehe. I look forward to sharing their details with you! I hope you’ll join me.
Catch you then

Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.

Nor could I find a suitable pic online for this post.
There are two ways of exerting one’s strength: One is pushing down, the other is pulling up.
-Busher T Washington.-
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels strength. Who makes enormous demands on me. Who does not doubt my courage or my toughness. Who does not believe me naive or innocent. Who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
Don’t wish me happiness – I don’t expect to be happy it’s gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humour – I will need them all.
So here’s what I was resigned to use. This photo is from about 2 1/2 years ago. I was about halfway through losing my baby weight. It’s me trying to show my bicep – I can’t believe I’m sharing this photo. That line = definition. I kidd you not, touching it was rock hard. The line got longer and I got more of them. They became so prevalent I would just sit around and you could see the definition all over my arms. Not in that scary shemale way though. Thank you push ups and dumbells.
I know I look shocking but well…whatcha gonna do… It is what it is. I’m sweaty because I’d just finished working out and covered in paint because I’d also been painting that day. Such is my life. This is the real me. I miss feeling fit, I think I better get back to it. Hopefully I’m healed enough now and my body can take the punishment I dish out to it.

I just came across this quote. It made me chuckle because I feel this way all the time.
Sometimes I’m confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn’t obvious…”

Everything I’ve ever done was out of fear of being mediocre.

I come accross a lot of great quotes but today this is the one that stood out to me. It sums me up quite nicely. I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad thing.

Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly.

Sorry I’ve been quiet the past few days. I’m nearing the end of this pregnancy and feel like I’ve been hit with a truck, I’m just so, so tired. I managed to pull out my art gear today (I’m not venturing out to my studio at the moment so I’ve been storing things in my spare room) anyway, hopefully tomorrow I’ll have some photos to share of some new work/progess.
I hope you enjoyed the above photos. The lipstick one is in my ensuite. It’s been there since Valentines day. I don’t want to get rid of it just yet. I had written ’10 things I love about you’ on post it notes and scattered them amongst the house. I also did the hearts and A + C on the bathroom mirror. When my husband spotted the mirror drawing he joined in and said ‘let’s make it really authentic’ and added the 4Eva lol. It was fun to act like kids again.
Yesterday my daughter came into the lounge and said “Mummy, it says I love You Chavah on the mirror?!” Confused I asked her what she meant. It seems my husband left me my own love note, yay! I love that he tolerates the hopeless romantic in me.
Do you have any little things you do with your partner? Feel free to share them. I’m always looking for new ideas!
