Encouraging Young Women To Follow Their Dreams...

We all have things that we want to achieve in life, goals, plans and ambitions. Then we have those dreams inside of us which we want to do but only ever dream of doing. They sit in the bottom of our hearts and we think about them all the time but nothing gets stirs them into actions. What is stopping you from doing something that you have dreamed of doing for years? Is it your confidence in yourself, to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new or...? My word for young woman today (and also young men) is to follow what dreams you have deep inside your heart. If you dream that you can do something and fully believe in yourself then take that next step. FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS! If you want to be a pilot head in that direction, if it’s caring for children follow that passion. If you want to be a ship’s Captain then join the merchant navy and start sailing towards reaching that dream goal! You can do anything if you just believe in yourself.

Babies, Babies and more Babies...

Guess what we have just inherited - 11 Babies. Not real children but real enough for us to call them our babies. A few days ago we had 11 Baby chickens born, 11 small cute, little, coloured fuzzy babies. Grey, White, Brown, Black and multi-coloured mixtures. From 31 chickens we now have 42 chickens on our farm as well as 4 paradise ducks. Our farm is just growing day by day. Now that is one part of going to sea which I miss. I miss our farm and all our animals, it’s just one of those sacrifices which we have to make. It’s hard. Maybe one day I will find a job (short stints away at sea) where I can work on a ship as well as also living on a farm at the same time. So with 11 more babies joining our family now we are going to be quite busy parents for the next couple of months now. I wonder what ever did happen to the light brown mother chicken that disappeared about 4 weeks ago - We will just have to wait and see...

Questions, Questions and more Questions???

Have you ever thought about how many questions we actually ask everyday? Well I have. The other day I thought that I would count how many times I ask a question within 24 hours, or when I was awake (6am-11pm) and you wouldn’t believe how many questions I actually asked without even realising at first that they were questions. 238 questions!!! Now I know it has been proven that women talk more than men and definitely have a lot more to ask but 238, you have to be joking. I then observed a male friend over 6 hours and he only asked a total of 25 questions when I was with him. Wow! Look at the difference! I spent ages thinking about this and came to the conclusion that we don’t learn if we don’t ask questions, we won’t know unless we ask and how on earth do we know when to find something if we don’t ask for directions? Questions are what get us forward in life, finding new ways of doing things to add a bit of spice to life.

“Jealousy” is just a wasted Emotion

Out of all the emotions we can choose to experience in the world most of us choose Jealousy at least once in our life. What good do we get from this though? We have the choice whether we want to be happy or sad. So why do we waste a part of our life being jealous of someone else when we know that we can never get that time back! I mean what do you actually get from looking at someone else and wanting what they have? You don’t get any personal satisfaction or good vibes from this, the only thing you do gain is feeling bad about yourself. There will always be someone out there that can do things better than you like; run faster, speak more confidently, bake tastier cookies and so on... There is nothing good you can gain from being jealous! So why not stop wanting to be like someone else and start living your life, the life that you are good at and only you can live!
