The time is FLYING!!! The paint is DRYING!!!

Well after many requests i wanted to say something, im able to go to a very special place again today so im grateful for that chance, im noticing how time is going by so fast! just for andrews blog i have to pay tribute to his writings ive been watching and i they are so wonderful! really thoughtful and intresting, as the story is told with photos! :D anyway! i hope you are all well having good holidays and rest, even if your all working its time to just let yourself REST! be yourselfs and do the greater good.

i have also been redecorating after waiting with my family like nearly 10 years we all got together and painted our kitchen done everything, the point being, object lessons are always best, but i guess we all need a new coat of paint now and again, we have many people working on us, but its the preparation thats best i mean you have to sand rough areas and clean mucky marks, resurface and all that before you actually paint! and you can liken that to us :)

painting is also theraputic i find so anyway, dont you find that when we decorate its one step at a time, you have to make sure things dry and are covered, you cant just do everything in one day. well ill let you all interpret how you will but i just thought id share the insight...

i have let my camera skills go lax this past month, but im starting again with new projects and ideas, please watch out for them i love to be able to show them to people and share them, i just hope you will all bear with me, untill i write again BE HAPPY!

well i dont seem to have written on here for a while, life on the winter board walk is okay! but this heat has been getting to me for sure! i have to be thankful for all my friends though...ive had my former missionary buddies visit and call me over these past few weeks, some are married, some are dating, some are just happy living the single life but its been awesome to hear from them! i always have been able to talk to all sorts of people, ages and cultures! i am so thankful that my photography gives me the opportunity to speak to and work with people...i hope everything has been having fun at institute because i havnt been for a couple weeks, i am just enjoying time to myself, reading is wonderful! :) but ill enjoy getting back to things too!

Friends have been an ispiration to me and i know who are my true and close friends, who will by my side whatever i decide to do! and im always grateful for that...im hoping i can post more things soon like my photos and poems...keep smiling everyone! love bex

Live 8 and my experience...

im still sat here watching and listening to the LIVE8 performances, and im so glad i am apart of what is going on, it really touched me when the girl on the video in africa near death 20 years ago, was on the stage in Hyde Park beautiful, strong and thriving. To me that is what makes all the difference, i think Bob Geldoff is a wonderful man to use the influence he has to influence this mass carnage thats going on in the 3rd world countries, as a child i would cry and still do, at the poverty and stavation, pain and suffering these poor people are going through! i wished then that something could be done for thes people, i felt i wanted to help them but HOW? today i got answered that question, by signing my name to the LIVE8LIVE website, and i also wrote a letter to Tony Blair...ok im only one person but as Davina said, if we all do it together we can make a tremendous change! i am very happy this event across the world has gone ahead, billions have watched attended and supported this event, the main thing is not the numbers in the sense of attendance but im happy that many more than myself have a heart and want to help those who are suffering so much. Annie Lennox really got to my heart, and i told my mum how stunned, and depressed that i was. leaders of influence have seen all of this, have seen the wonderful good from the produce of one girl to survive and still havnt been moved to change, i really hope and pray that they WILL see this world effort and WILL stop the hurt, that is going on...again i am pleased to be apart of this effort, i hope we ALL support it.

thoughts from Institute...

• i was sat in the class tonight thinking as i always do, i probably never say anything because im in sheer fascination at the example from the scriptures and especially tonight, how Joseph Smith coped getting surgery on his leg with no pain relief, basically being prised apart, and we discussed that we dont go through hard things in our life for nothing, we need things to try us and thats essential for our growth, man i dont think i could do what he did! it truly was a miricle, i loved how Brother Rickford taught, it really hit me personally, would i be so valiant?...
• ...i was also thinking how hard some descisions are in our lives, not between good or bad but good and better. as in for our education, our career path and our progression, the most thing that needs to happen is to follow the spirits promptings and also be obedient to what the Lord desires for us, sometimes that can be the most unrealistic goal, or something you couldnt do your naturla self. i think even if others tell you your silly for the choice you have made, if you are meant to go there will be a way prepared for you! i think myself especially faith, obedience and nourishing my testimony need to be deepened to carry out my quest...
• ...alot of these thoughts have been circulating my mind recently, like trying to make the best of what you can do in your own circle of influence, being the best you can - service, charity, love and deepened understanding for those arround us. maybe im being too random. but i know i need to trust in my own nature and my self to be able to do the best i can do right now! and thats what is important, WOW alot from that lesson its always nice to ponder on these things everyone should BLOG on how they liked the lesson!

AND CLAP....
