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.

~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.
