With Chocolate As My Kryptonite

Life

I think I need glasses because last Monday morning I misread a school sign.
At first glance I thought it said 'Cuddles and Robotics Here'! What it really said was 'Coding and Robotics' here. Aiiii! I don't know whether it was Monday Morning Mayhem playing on my Before Coffee brain or whether I need to get my eyes checked.


Love

A. and I have found a place for the engagement party. Its in the process of becoming official. So that means we have to start crackin' on those engagement invites.
Today we are looking at a potential venue for the wedding. A. is fairly optimistic and I am just going to keep an open mind.

& The Everyday

In the wake of realising that my attitude towards certain aspects of my life needs pixie dust and sparkle, I have been sprinkling, dusting and polishing what I know needs work. The end of the year is fast on our heels and now is the time to take out the box of Procrastination so there is less to worry about next year.
For example...fitting into a size 14 so I can buy my dress for the engagement party that is now hovering at the edge of the 2017 horizon...yikes!
At my p.t session today, my p.t took the training wheels off - metaphorically speaking. No more excuses, no more justifications, no more chocolate - edible or drinkable unless its a protein bar or shake, no take-out, no fizzy drinks, nothing greasy. And no more broken promises.
Yep, I know I sound like a broken track record. But this time I really want to do it.
If it means sacrificing another hour of precious sleep to work out at the gym.
I'll do it. Half-asleep, snappy and powered by coffee!

More soon!

There Is Something About Chloe...

Life Today I had a terrible epiphany that is really so shameful I will definitely regret saying it at all! I think my writers block is the equivalent of Erectile Dysfunction! I have all kinds of stories in my head and for some reason unknown to me, I am sitting at half-mast and cannot perform! I start writing something that I reckon will be fun and then...well, all of my fictional heroes and heroines are disappointed while I am frantically scrambling to revive the excitement and anticipation for their tales. This is one thing that frustrates me about being a writer - lots of good story lines sitting on my desktop but they come to an abrupt pause mid-sentence. I want to write something so sensational that people will still be talking about years from now, the kind of book they will keep in a special place on their book shelves and read it once or twice a year, or whenever the mood strikes them. Something they will always remember and talk about with their families, friends, strang

Becoming Myself

LIFE  What I love about books is that they are available around the clock - your imagination can absorb words and take you on a journey, pages away from your life. What would life be without J.K Rowling, Kathy Reichs and Jane Austen? Pretty lousy, that's what. Then there are books that make you feel brave, inspired - and I have been reading such a book this week. It's called Becoming Myself by Stasi Eldredge. I have read it a couple of times and loved it - and I have read it again this week - it's about loving yourself, quirks and all - embracing the beauty that is soul and surface. There were three topics Stasi mentioned in her book which really stood out to me. Body Image, Friendships and Mothers. Last Tuesday I weighed in at 99.1. My whole adult life it seems, has been about losing weight. It's my fault. I have eaten in quantity rather than moderation and skipped on the 30-45 minutes of exercise most days and that's on me. Literally. On that score, I lea

Home is where the Heart is

LIFE Today I woke up in my own bed after two and a half weeks in another country. Fiji was just...incredible - I learnt and grew so much during those two weeks. People don't travel to see another country, they travel to see other worlds - like Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy in C.S Lewis's 'The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe'. Although there was no wicked ice queen on the other side of my wardrobe, I saw poverty and homelessness amid a culture of giving and happiness. Even now I am trying to process completely what I saw, all I can put it down to is in Fiji, there are two worlds living side by side - the wealthy and poor. The mission God has put on Ally's heart in Fiji is a very important piece of the puzzle to break the cycle of poverty. Some struggling families in Fiji have to make hard, life-altering decisions because they are desperate for a roof over their heads and food for themselves and their families.They turn to thievery, prostitution and a marriage
