☼A Guest Post on True Story Tuesday☼

Hi Guys

I'm Belle.

I'm the baby of the Byrne's Brood

and today I am Mumma's guest blogger

OK

So, since I've been on holidays,

I've discovered there are a few rules of thumb to follow

when you go to the beach with BOYS!

Boys ALWAYS show off,

especially when there might be girls watching!

Sisters are handy props if you want to impress the beach babes!

They'll toss you around,

just to show the other girls that their muscles are

NOT just for show!

BUT

One of the most important lessons I learnt is....

When they ask you to help them dig a hole

They nearly ALWAYS have ulterior motives

...and when they say hop in, alarm bells should be ringing!

Yes, I ended up buried right up to my neck!

At least my Brother was thoughtful enough to let me borrow his glasses,

just so I wouldn't get sand in my eyes!

It could have been worse though....seriously

BOYS!!!!

Oh yeah this next shot is exactly what it looks like!

{{Mumma, why are you covering your eyes?}}

This is what they did to my Sista

(as opposed to my Sissy in the first shots)

My Dad and my Brother think they are

SO funny!!!!!

Mumma says it's what an Aussie might call a map of Tassie!

(Mumma won't explain further, she says you have to google it, what ever googling is?)

Oh and lastly, I discovered that it doesn't matter how loudly or how often you yell HELP,

If you're buried up to your neck in the sand and your Dad and Brother are standing over you laughin' their butts off, these guys will not help you!

APPARENTLY they only save you if you're drowning or in trouble IN the water!

Life Savers, yeah right!!!!

Just drive on by guys, just drive on by!

...Sneak Peek...

A sneak peek at what I'm drinking........

Great Coffee, I'm at Grandma Frog and Gompsey's,

every morning the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans fills the air mmmmmm ☺

.........and a glimpse of what I am reading,

WM. Paul Young's 'The Shack'

I particularly like a descriptor on the back of the book...

...In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant THE SHACK wrestles with the timeless question: Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain? The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone to know you have read this book!

My thanks again go to Justin's parents for leaving this book under the coffee table in the sunroom and to Dad who said if I only do one thing these holidays, reading this book will be the best thing I did. Wise words Gompsey♡♡♡Grandma Frog, I might also follow in your footsteps and download the cyber version onto my iPhone

☺

Thank you both for all of the wonderful things you have brought into my life.

I love you both dearly and am grateful I can call you family.

♥♥♥I am blessed♥♥♥

What are you currently reading my friends?

Thanks for dropping by

What's a girl to do........

.........when all she wants is freshly squeezed orange juice?

Juice some oranges of course ☺

What?

You didn't actually think anyone else was gonna get in the car drive to the shop,

buy some oranges then come home and juice them for me did you???

No...neither did I!

I did however, thoroughly enjoy my glasses of freshly squeezed juice.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

FRESH

What did you enjoy today?

I also enjoyed breakfast with the family.

down at a cafe overlooking Brighton Beach,

even if they did cram all NINE of us onto three weeny tables squished together!

Cheers

.....♡♡♡Simply Beautiful♡♡♡.....

I was just doing a little web surfing, trying to find a little artistic inspiration.

Hans Silvester spent six years photographing the Omo people of Ethiopia

His pictures left me in silent awe.

This photo is my absolute favorite.

Do yourself a favour and check out this YouTube slideshow of Hans Silvester's photo's of the Omo People.

I BELIEVE I have been inspired by something very, very magical.

These are a couple of my Facebook friends!

For those who are a little unwilling to come to the 'dark-side' and join Facebook,

Perhaps you might like a Facebook like I have.

I love journals and this was put under the Christmas tree for me.

It was a gift from my darling brother-in-law Dee

and I think it is just so darn cute.

Did you receive anything that made you smile at it's unexpectedness for Christmas?

There were books galore under our Christmas tree

This book made me smile, widely!

✩✩HAPPY NEW YEAR✩✩

Hello 2010

resolutions seem so much like hard work

people make them

and break them

then get down on themselves

because they couldn't keep them

I am going to be a little easier on myself this year.

For the last few years I have watched a few of my favorite

Bloggers choose words to guide them through their year.

I've always seemed to have a hard time coming up with just one word.

In the past I had been torn between different words, and I always seemed to choose words that others had chosen, then felt like a bit of a fraud using

'their words'.

Perhaps the problem wasn't that I felt like I was being a copy-cat if I used the same word as someone else,

I think the problem was that I didn't believe that the right word had come to me.

This year however, is different.

I knew what word would become my mantra, so to speak.

!!!BELIEVE!!!

I have a hard time with Belief in so many different areas of my life.

At the core of it though, I think my biggest problem is that I did not believe in myself.

I did not believe that I was worthy.

This year I BELIEVE I can change those feelings.

I BELIEVE I CAN.

I am in no way under the impression that it will be easy.

I BELIEVE it will take great conscious effort on my behalf

to change a habit developed long long ago.

STILL, I BELIEVE I CAN

This year

I will BELIEVE.

I DO BELIEVE.

Hello 2010

I BELIEVE THIS YEAR WILL HOLD MANY WONDERS

and

I BELIEVE I WILL ENJOY 2010

I BELIEVE IT WILL BE A GREAT YEAR

♡for myself♡

AND

♡my family♡

♡and my dear friends♡

Do you have a particular word or saying you have chosen to adopt as your mantra this year?

If so , please share.

I love how one little word can have such a powerful effect

if you only

BELIEVE

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Thanks for dropping by.

Bring it on 2010

CHEERS
