Growth














As i start to get better i feel much more positive and feel i have a good handle on this situation with my face.
Its healing and is getting much better.
Being inside was awful its so hard to not go out and enjoy the fresh air and do things, I also love the sun so having to avoid that is awful.

Its funny to think that from now on i will have to wear a hat and cover up.

Today for the first time i went to Story time at the library with Aaliyah and didn't wear a scratch of make up no moisturizer nothing (not that i had a choice in the matter) And it honestly didn't actually bother me at all. I even forgot that i wasn't wearing make up. Now coming from me who never leaves the house with out a full face of make up on , that is quite big.
I actually feel really good about it and believe that this is my reason for this to happen to me, to help me grow as a person and feel more confident bearing all for the world to see.
People that are naturally beautiful and used to not wearing make up wont really understand what the big deal is, But i no the women out there that walk in my shoes with wearing make up daily will understand just whats its like to think about not wearing make up.

I had been out a couple of times and only wore mineral make up (which I'm not allowed to wear and it totally flared my face up again) but even with that on i felt terrible and really self conscious about it and felt incomplete in a way.

So to be feeling better about it all is a great feeling.


Other things that are growing in my life right now is my veggie patch i have Broccoli not far from being ready to eat and also Carrots and Celery.

My flowers are taking off as well, The sunflowers have grown so tall and tower over wee Aaliyah they are all starting to flower and gosh they are stunning.

I was busy planting my new seasons seedlings in a line up with Little Aaliyah helping along behind and using her spade to play in the soil and dig in it.
Turn around to get the next seedling out and turn back and my dear little Helper has kindly gone along behind me and dug out all the new seedlings...

Its a funny situation and hard to explain to a 1 year old "these are weeds and these are flowers" in fact who am i kidding its impossible.



Its funny how much children absorb and learn so fast , I really do have a little follower and i wouldn't change a thing for the world!!!!!!!!

    Hey Lisa,
    I think its so cool that you are keeping a blog. It will be really interesting to look back on what you have been through in a couple of months, even a couple of years. I keep a bit of a journal and its kinda cool that when you come out the other side of this journey, and when you face equally tough situations in the future that you can reflect on this time and think that I survived that period of time so I must will be able to get through this equally tough time. I've been battling with sleep this year and I totally believe that God puts these experiences in our life for a reason! As I have found out and you're discovering they not only test our character but they also make us stronger and I think ultimately develop many positive characteristics! Kinda cool that for you that whilst your self-image is being tested that ultimately you are developing a much stronger sense of self-worth. Kia kaha - stay strong! Sally

Beautiful Sleep

Sleep  I love everything about sleep yet don't get the luxury of enjoying it very often at all. All my life i have suffered server sleep issues and from earliest memories i recall being stuck awake at night oh so wishing to just be able to sleep. I recall staying down the Marlborough sounds ,NZ at my grandparents house June and Lionel Hawkins. All us 3 girls being tucked away upstairs in our room all together nattering away non stop until one by one my sisters fell asleep then there was just me, Left wide awake desperate to just get to sleep now the fun was over. My Nana would come in late at night to see if we were asleep and every time sure enough id be wide awake in bed. So on numerous occasions she would take me off downstairs with her and make me a milky Milo to help to settle me enough to sleep (hopefully). You see my Nana suffers the same sleep issues and has told me she to lies awake in bed hours on end just trying to get to sleep. What makes matters worse

That crazy thing called Life experience

I find even though i may be growing older, Its true the older you get the more wise you become. Although i miss things about my youth ie. Having nothing to worry about other than myself & what i want to do that particular day & wear, The no responsibility's & being accountable for know one other than myself! And all other things associated with this type of thing. Basically that's all i do miss. You see i wasn't the nicest of people when i was younger & although i wouldn't change a lot of things i wish i had treated people nicer & respected myself more. The older i become the more i grow wiser & understand things better I also feel i am growing into my own person more and have my own Style and Flare. I am now confident enough to head in any direction i please with confidence that i will be excepted and its ok to make mistakes and not succeed at everything. I had loved Photography when younger but wasn't confident enough
