Be Youtiful I've borrowed my title from this amazing quote. Just being you and being true to yourself makes you truely beautiful. Your youness shines through naturally, like the sun on a warm, sunny day. I think we've forgotten what a warm sunny day looks and feels like! That's why this next quote is so important! One of the best compliments I've ever been given was from a fellow teacher friend who, after reminding me of my organisational skills, or lack of, also reminded me of my creative skills. She smiled at me and said she liked my flowery edges! I'll take that thanks! I always tried to keep positive, even when faced with endless files of data and tick boxes! I loved the idea of a cardboard cut out of me with flowery edges! I remember one night this friend I used to work with, saying I wasn't very organised (which is true) but I was lovely. Aww thanks. Funny thing was though, as she drank more wine, she kept reminding me that I wasn't very o

No Regrets This is actually one of my fave Robbie Williams songs, along with 'Love Supreme'. Good advice. I've always loved the soulful 'Non. Je ne regrette rien'. I love my inspirational quotes and I love this one.

I'm Every Woman! Sitting in a cafe, singing along absentmindedly to an 80s song, and suddenly, inspiration strikes. "I'm Every Woman. It's all in me." Lightbulb moment. Thankyou Shaka Kahn, you amazing 80s pop queen you. That's what that song meant all along! It's only taken me 25 years or so to figure that out! This happens a lot from music and lyrics of the 70s, 80s and 90s! Either because I was too young and just garbled out the chorus, parroting my parents, as in 'Wig Wam Bam!' Then Oh. That's what they were doing down by the silver stream. This made me question the lyrics of many other 80s songs like 'Agga Do' and 'Music Man'! So were they really pushing pineapples and shaking trees or was that a euphemism? Also, because I do tend to make words and lyrics up and once they're stuck, they're stuck! As with Keane's Oh Sympathy. I started singing it with my choir and realised it was actually "Oh s
