A quote for the day

                                                        (A lovely quote that is so true)

~Writing~

Within the last month my main goal and dream has been to complete and publish a book I am in the process of weaving and writting. It has a balance of fiction and history to please both audiences of fictional lovers and historical lovers. I have no possible clue when I will get it finished I have part of the begining written. So far I am still doing reaserch of the Gold Rush in California and time through the 20th century. It has been so far a fun time learning things I didnt remember or had forgotten.Another thing that will make this book stand out from others is there is no supernatural or romanic focuses. Its all focused on family,discovery,and heritage. What im really hoping to get out of this book is not being a best seller or anything on that level. I want to have the "I did it!" feeling. Being able to see my book on a book shelf seeing my pen name ___ Newhouse (I have no clue what my begining part will be lol) on a book will feel great!

 Another thing id love is to give people something to enjoy. My writing is somthing I love to share with others. Its my joy,I feel that our personal joy should be shared with others whether it being art,music,singing,dance,cooking,

Knowlege,ect. We all have something of our enjoyment that we take pride in. For me its my talent in writing and creativity to weave a good story.
     I do not want to give too much a way of my book but it being focused on history of the gold rush is where this womans family history that is known of begins. Her family home and old quilt is the tie of her family history and heritage. Being said all that it takes you back to that era and specific place an important part of her families history took place.

My love for writing started at a very young age. I was 10 when I wrote my first little book series I made out of blank paper that folded in half to make a book. My first little series was called Karen Sherlock,haha I was qite a little copy cat huh? It wasnt inspired by Sherlock Holmes! I loved the Nancy Drew series after reading a book of that series I was hooked! Karen Sherlock was a detective who solved crimes. I remember my first Karen Sherlock story was about a missing Canary. The book cover I made had her and the missing Yellow Canary in a bird cage. I had so much fun writing those,I would spend hours at the table drawing and writing those little books. I wasnt the best at my grammar,or spelling (still a bit off at times) but I had fun. Even now im a 20 year old woman and I have note books and note books full of stories and writing ideas I have. I have been working on a fiction/fantasy book for children since I was 16,not too much has changed,I kept the uncles name the same but two of the childrens names had changed into much better names. I keep getting stuck on the plot but I do find my self back to those notes adding more and more to each chapter and to the story its self. I know personally that it will take a long time before I even get close to finished on that peice but writing is based on time and most important YOU,as we grow,mature,and learn our writing tends to change. Even within at time period of our lives one may be at a dark state and write a great peice but its very dark. One may be going through a spirtual journey and write a spiritual based book that is uplifting and positive. Writing is an expression of who you are and how your feeling. Alot of people dont tend to realise or think about writing as an open diary of the Author. Its their own thoughts and feelings being woven into a story. Do you really think these writers pull these things out of their ass? No,its their expression of how they are feeling and thinking. Yes you may read "she slowly turned the door knob and as she opened the door the henges creeked." ok no thats not a feeling but the story line is. Perhaps the story is about a man starting over sober and begining a new life. Who knows that Author has been in that situaton or is in it but writing it in a characters point of veiw. One could write of a relationship and who knows that Author had been in the same type or is finding love again or for the first time and wants to express their joy for it.
Even writing does not have to be of a feeling it could be of the authors interests and fascinations.Writing is a very amazing art and self expression tool. Not only does it take me away but its my outlet from the real world.Its just nice to slip into the mind of

different person and visualise a new environment.

Being a published Author is a huge dream and goal for me. Its not my main focus but its somthing I am not letting go of. Yes there is going to be times I put my peice on the back burner but doesnt mean I can come back and stir things up. I dont have high hopes of being the next Dan Brown,JK Rowling,Jane Austin,ect. I just want to be a published author whos work has been shared with the world and being read by others.     "A favorite of mine is to curl up with a notebook and hot cup of hot coco"                                                                                

I have to say my favortie Authors would have to be Holly Black,Toni Dizerelli,JK Rowling,Sylvia Cassedy,Shel Silverstine, and Lemony Snicket. My favorite book is "Behind the Attic Wall" by Sylvia Cassedy. My favorite Childrens poetry Authors is Shel Silverstine, and my favorite childrens book

 is Chrysanthymum by keven Henks.

                     "I love to write on a rainy autumn or winter day its the best and most magical time for writing to me"

~~Feeling the chill of change in the air~~

    One morning I had woken up to a chill in the air,it was the first sign of Autumn around me. Every Autumn theres just that somthing I feel in the air the chill just brings this scence of change,time to change,shed the old,and the feeling of magic in the air. Oh my gosh! Its amazing!
  The interesting thing is Autumn is the time of the new and time of change. Being that on October 31st is Samhain (Sow-en) the pernounciation for those who are not familiar,its the Pagan New year. Also the time when the veil is lifted and before Samhain it gets thinner and thinner. As this veil is getting thinner and thinner and then is lifeted,our ancestors are walking the earth.
  Before I had NO idea of paganism,I new of it from my family but not knowing of it though if that makes any sence lol,I would think as a young girl that Autumn was when the year began! How crazy was that!?!
   Being outside feeling the magical chill in the air seeing the fallen leaves,feeling the crisp air in the morning,seeing the colors...just SOOO SOOO magical! Its natures way of saying time for change!!! Time to donate items of no use,need or want,time of discovering new uncharted places of YOU spiritually. The time of just being and discovering.

Recipe

    So I was watching a Youtube video about..hmm Id say two weeks ago,maybe three. It was titled Recipe,it was uploaded by a womans channel that im subscribed to so I watched it wondering if it was a RECIPE because she always plays her guitar and sings becautifuly, but when I watched it the first few minutes was a song! So I was thinking ok,maybe its just a new song she wrote wanted to share and will get to the recipe soon.

No actually it was her talking about a woman she new when she traveled to Ireland and how this woman was a wonderful cook and always made her dreams come true no matter what it was. 

The thing was with this womans cooking was she had this special way of getting all the ingredients just right she knew what to add and how much to add perfectly. Even with her goals and dreams she would get everything figured out what she needed/needed to do. She would put it together like a recipe. She new what she needed to do using each "ingredient" she made her goals come true.

   I was thinking WOW! She really knew what to do! She is very right! Our goals are like following a recipe we gather all the ingredients (steps),portion them (listing the steps) and messuring (time). Its like getting out a hug pot,get all the ingredients together,seperate them into each portion,messure, and by what needs to go in first,get your pot ready and begin adding and stirring and adding until your dish is complete. Its just as simple as that! 

    Yes accomplishing our goals is not easy ot simple but if you take the time to list,divide and messure your ingredients you will have your dish done in no time!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR RECIPE!!!

My Dream and Current Goal

My current goal and dream is to become a Science teacher for Jr.High. Its been a goal of mine for qite a while now,Theres just somthing about it that rings true that tells me your ment to do it! Yeah ive had career goals in the past but NOTHING like this!

I do invision my class room all the time,I think of how I will open the door to questions and discovery to my students at such a young age. I want it to be fun,I want my students to walk in their first day and think WOW! Ill have books,posters,pets,models,plants,anything you can think of that would be eye grabbing!I want every day to be a learning adenture. I would have science experiments and hands on learning. All my students work would be up on the walls for encouragment and praise. My students would know that there is NO such thing as a stupid question in my class! No sir! My class room is all about questions and answers! I want to be that teacher students can talk to and trust in case of any problems im there. I want to be that teacher that is unforgetable because I let my students think free,try new experiments,learn,discover,ask questions no matter how crazy they are!

Even they days we have to have book work I want to have atleast 20 minutes set aside for question time and science chat. I have thought of having teams by color (red team,yellow team,blue team..ect.) like science groups so they could do projects together and observe the class pets or plants or whatever the assignment is! Id even bring Art into Science with lots of art supplies for my students to make colorful and amazing posters and projects.

Id even have a photo wall of my students projects,working together,class projects,ect. My students would SEE their hard work and what they do! They would have that encouragment and support to succeed and go far.Being a teacher is my calling,its my dream,its my goal. I know one day I will be standing in my own class room proud of the goal I reached and knowing I have made a difference in learning even if its only a small amount of students.

Releasing old pain and anger with love and perfect trust

      Being through so much pain and anger within the past year has take a complete toll on me.  Tonight I had made the desicion to let go of all that with love and perfect trust. After I had done that,Oh my gosh! I havent felt this great in my whole life! I feel AMAZING! I feel as if weights have been lifted off of me. Letting go of this,has set me free.  Ive felt tied up within chains the past few years and now its like taking off freely into the next thing.
 If you are feeling this way,take a peice of paper and write down "Release any old pain and anger with love and perfect trust" and burn it in a safe dish or fire. BE SAFE!!!
 This is telling the universe I am DONE and ready to move on! I only have love and perecft trust.
                                   

the darkness always leads into the light

           Unfortunatly in life we have out downs. Even we can have a down day where we arnt feeling it. Sometimes alot of us have a down period of time in our lives. Ive been there too and it was a very very dark time in my life. I did not think I was going to make it through all of it. But I did! I am getting my education going,I have decided to become a Jr.High Science teacher. I have a healthy,happy,growing son. I have an amazing man who loves me for me.I look back at that time and all it did was help me grow up and grow strong.I am proud that I made it! It was a very dark and lonely time.
   You know what I learned? That its negatives that only lead to positives. We can only develope from the negatives like the quote below says. Its true its 100% true! its like pulling coins out of a bag pennies,and nickles being negatives and there a few dimes and quarters being the positives. No matter how many times you pull a coin out ot the bag you WILL eventually pull out a positive. Things take TIME and PLACE,there being the right time and place.
 The universe knows us better than we know ours selves and knows that we need a "wake up call" or "appreciation check" and then the time for what I call your "pass word out" when we get to a spesific point we have a chance to get out and thats the special "pass word" the universe is looking for wheather it bieng something said,something done,something gained,something lossed,somthing of another action.

Health is Back baby!

Health is back! After a year and a half ive been fighting to get my health back on track. I was very sickly,loosing hair by the chunks,weight was after I got sick 50 lbs and then recovering my weight was 87. I have finally made it back,my hair is in tact! I started out with a new hair cut back in september of '10 after that grew it out and then of march '11 I had gotten a new cut after that ive no more hair loss problems. In September of '10 I began taking prenatal vitamins. They are said to be taken before,during and after pregancy. With it being a multi-vitamin with everything women need I thought well why not try? I did and withn a year and half still taking them I have been healthier since. Ive also gone vegetarian back in march (again had to quit when I was seventeen due to poor health) now that I can cook and know about nutrition I have felt,happier,healthier and more energetic! Its great to be back to me old self again! Its taken a year and a half but its well worth it! 

Look at the new healthy me! YAY
