Matilda

So...I havent ever done this but for the first time I am. I am doing a movie review! YAY
  Before I get started,I dont normally watch movies,unless they are magical,inspiring and childrens. I am not a fan of movies that people my age are into I am embaressed to say but I really dont get sexual humor or crude humor or any "bitch fighting" humor excuse the language but there was no other term for that,my mom and step dad were watching the movie Brides Maids and I could NOT stand the language and talk of that movie. Ugggh! It was like shut up! My gosh!

  So without further a due,my review!

Matilda is a very inspiring and sweet movie,It is one of my favorite movies and I just finished watching so I got the inspiration to write a review. Its about a little girl who is brave and smart. She unlocks powers she has in her mind.
    I personally feel this is a movie every child should have in their movie collection to remind them to be brave,be themselves and know they are never alone.
    No one is too old for this movie I am 20 years old and still enjoy it!
Its simple,fun,sweet,heart warming,and has a twist of adventure,

One of the other characters of the movie I just adore is Miss Honey,Matilda's teacher. She is so sweet and magical in her own way. She loves her students,later stands up to Miss Trenchbull who is her aunt that treated her badly and took her childhood home.

The friendship and adventure with Miss Honey and Matilda is magical,Matilda uses her special power Telechinesis to rescue one of miss Honeys treasures her doll that her mother who died when she was 2 gave her.Along with some of her other treasures she had to leave behind when leaving her home occupied by her aunt Miss Trenchbull.

       Miss Trenchbull is the "villian" persay of the the movie who is BIG and SCARY! She hates children and is later defeated by Matilda and Miss Honey.

One thing I must say,is that I can sure relaite to Matilda's family! Her mother,obsesses on her looks. Spending her time on her hair and make-up! Her father spending his time with the television and a mean brother.

  I just adore Matilda's sence of fashion! The little bow is too cute! Reminds me of me and my hat that I now obsess over! I used to wear a bow when I was real little myself. 

Another thing I must say is I admire Matilda for her bravery and smarts! She is an amazing character who is inspiring to all. No matter what her parents and brother said she did what she wanted,she made her way,she stood her ground and never stoped being her.
    I will say I am sure going to invest in buying a copy of the book Matilda by Roald Dahl and review that after I read it. I heard it is as good as the movie.

Why Mothers Need Their Sons

1. They teach their mothers that they can do anything!

 2. They let them know they are needed.

 3. They show them that everyday doesnt go by without a smile.

4. They always give their mommy's kisses when needed.

 5. They always bring them comfort when others cant or dont.

 6. They give their mommys the unconditional love they need and never knew they needed.

 7. They are the little helpers.

8. They give their mommys confidence and thumbs up in the kitchen.

 

 

9. They cuddle their mommys tightly to keep them safe from the monsters.

                                    

                                10. They protect their mommy's from the bad.
                                

      MOST OF ALL THEY TEACH THEIR MOMMYS THAT NOT ALL GUYS ARE BIG JERKS!

Every girl/woman is a Goddess!

In todays society there is a new trend "Thinspiriation". For those who dont know thinspiriation is the trend of annorexicia and bullemia along with other eating disorders and diets.
   The goal for most women is to get into a size 0 even if it costs them their well being. Eating disorders are not just bad for your body but they are bad for your self esteem and the others around you. Once a family member or friend finds out they become concerned and try to help in any way or as many ways possible. Sometimes to the point it brings a great deal of stress upon them.
   Not all woman who are annorexic or bullemic are in it for the thinspiration trend.No,there are women and even in rare cases men who suffer from it due to psycological issues. Even a verbaly abusive partner could be a cause. Even a brief comment about some ones weight or even girls telling eachother their weight can be a root cause of an eating disorder. Its a very serious matter that should be taken with compassion,not critizism. Ive heard people make snide comments about an annorexic or bullemic. Unfortunatly I blame thinspiration for the critizism because sadly there are those who are psycologicaly influenced and cannot escape it. Those are the ones who need compassion and support while over comming this illness.
   

All of us women do have the power and control to fight this "thinspiration" from ourselves,our friends,sisters,daughters,and other females you may have in your life along with future generations. What needs to be pointed out is that beauty is not a number its a natural right as a woman to be beautiful. There is nothing wrong with fun fashion and make up,no its all in expressing you and how you feel. Big girls are and can be beautful. By wearing the right jeans,tops they will look in that mirror and think "look at me!". Average size girls same thing and even just finding your own style will give you an impowering "look at me!" kind of feeling. Personally I love a pair of loose fitting jeans or cords and  a simple but cute top or plain t-shirt and if its cool a sweatshirt. I feel adorable in my modest comfortable attire. Another thing since I said the word modest,my mother had brought up that some one she knew was saying how hard it is to find modest clothing for girls. Personally I agree but I do know there is modest clothes out there! Dressing modest doent make you a nerd or prude. It just shows off your impowered confidence to walk out covered "no not like a nun!",covered in the appropriate way such as little cleavage or none and no booty shorts! It shows your self respect and self worth. Being beautiful or even sexy does not have to cost you your life,health and food life. It doesnt mean you need to buy the most expencive designer jeans or wear flashy clothing. No it is all about YOU. Beauty is a natural right not a number.

Magic in the Morning

This isnt going to be a long post,well most mine arnt long half the time to begin with hehe. I woke up very early this morning,I looked at the time,bundled up and watched as the sun came up. Unfortunantly I cant see the sun actually rise but I can see its beautiful light shine in and into the sky. So beautiful. I remember how every morning I would walk to school and breath in the cool crisp air,look at all the flowers waking up,the freashly watered green grass and my favorite the peaceful stillness.
  

Childhood Magic

Dont you remember looking up at the stars and moon at night? Wasnt the thought in your mind that they were magic? Do you ever remember when you would make a wish or wishes on stars? 
   I remember as a small wee girl at the ages of 4-5 I would stay up and look at the moon from my window. I would make a wish on the star that I was drawn to. Even as I got older I cannot sleep or do not sleep well unless I have the moon light shinning down on me. I always take a few minutes at night to just STOP and take in the beauty and magic of the night. The stillness of the stars and light of the moon is so captivating.
If people would do that and keep up with old childhood magic we would probably stay connected with out inner child. Our inner-child is the key to happiness. Its the key to life,as humans we have a natural "want" to still play! We all still have that "belief" in magic and the unknown or the "impossible". We still find excitment in freashly baked cookies,sprinklers,snow,holidays,the simplicity of life.
    Go out side tonight look at the stars,stand under the moon light feel her glow and presence. In the summer blow bubbles,make popsicles using fun juices maybe mix them,run through the sprinklers,even go swimming. Color,write creative fun and silly stories,gets some clay or mudd and squish your hands and fingers in it maybe your toes too! During the holidays if you use a tree decorate it with the fun rainbow lights,fun and funky orniments,bake fun treats. Never loose love and excitment for the simple. The simple things in life are the most cherished later down the road when looking back.

follow the trail

  Believe it or not but we are lead to the greatest things in the most oddest,strangest ways.
I sure have and I still am, Just kick back and enjoy the ride. In the end youll see it was all well worth it.

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.
