This is a post about dreams.

Not a life changing one, but for the past two/three years or so, i've wanted to start ballet. And now i have! When i was six, i passed Grade 1 and the natural progression after that event, is to ascend to higher more worthy ballet positions. 

However, i came against an evil force, 'the leotard' not the stretch cotton body hugging 'thing' itself.(although i remember at age 7 being very aware that i had arm bulges when i wore a strappy one.) But the colour. I felt so uncomfortable wearing my old pink one and not the matura blue, that i left and didn't return. I sometimes sit and think, how different life would be if i had been born colour blind.

I used to have trouble with my 'Left's and Right's, to the point where i had different colour stickers on each toe to remind me. Im now wondering if i did that again, i would stop hearing..

"Josie, other foot!"

There is deffinatly something about ballet that romances me, i decided to have ribbons on my shoes instead of the favored elastic, because the process of tying them is so elegant. And i can drape them off mirrors or bookcases in my room, which makes me feel so very continental. 

I could go on, but i'll save the rest of this love story for a later date.

Yum, Autumns hear.

Its a nice feeling to shed my summer skin, and curl up by the fire with a book.
All be it, I'm still going on my summer holiday read 'eat pray love'. I have nothing but praise for what this book got me to think about. the film I found long and boring, however the book is very inspirational- I don't necessarily agree with it all. But I loved her basic understanding of what her heart body and soul needed to feel balanced and at peace.

Apologies for punctuation and spelling, I'm on my phone.

Tea shopping
On a Wednesday evening

I spent a good long few minuets eyeing up the tea boxes in Tesco today. Being able to make tea in my breaks is a real luxury, and I'm in the dilemma as to stick to the ordinary brew, or branch out to an exotic infusion.

You can get teas that purify your skin, help you sleep better, or just provide you with a 'moment of calm'.

My issue is, that for me to change my caffeine pattern for something more 'fruity' is like a smoker switching from cigarettes to rollies (I'm guessing).

The search continues.....

Hello hello

Long time, no see.

To get back into the flow of things, i'll start easy. As you may know, i have a routine back in my life. And this is what its involved...

The project was on 'Survival'.

I made a Crown as my final piece, because i wanted to follow through on the idea that, everyone is important enough to be crowned, that infact i can see beauty in the people i've met who are suffering.

I'll dive into more depth in the days to follow, but i wanted to get back in to the habit of posting. Now i have an iphone with a 'blogger' app i have no excuse really!xx
