The great magnitude of it all .. x

 (image:kiksu.deviantart.com)
 'The sun started to reappear a couple of minutes later, slowly, of course until colour once again saturated the sea and our faces, and birdsong filled the air, songs this time of joy, of relief. Cheers rang out from the cliff tops and the ra ta ta ta of applause. Yet we were all quiet for so long after, touched by the magnitude, the beautiful unfathomable magnitude of it all. This is what we are connected to. What we are all connected to. When the lights go out, so do we.'- Sarah Winman. (from When God was a Rabbit) 

Hello my lovelies. How are you?? I feel like I have been away for the blog world a little longer than normal so havn't caught up with how you are!


Today I am going to recommend the book 'When God was a Rabbit' by Sarah Winman. The book is about the love between brother and sister, families and the bonds that strengthen us in life, from childhood through to the rest of our lives . The writing is fluid and magical, quite whimsical and makes me smile.....and the quote above in particular draws my heart.
 
Happy Monday/Tuesday

Dear readers.. x

Hi everyone!


Just a little note to say sorry I am blogging less frequently. Have been rather busy with starting at university again and religious festivals going on that my blog plans have taken a back seat!


Thank you for your sweet comments on my last post and welcome to my blog, those readers I havn't met before.


Hope to update blog a little more of the coming weeks.


With LOVE.

I started Drama School! :)

(image:via)
 Hello friends,

How are you all?


This week I properly started at drama school in London  (picture above!) where I am doing a Masters degree in Applied theatre. Applied theatre is using drama in community settings and educational places to change peoples lives and make a difference. Its as broad as a description as working in homeless shelters, with disabled children, in schools......I love theatre and want to use it to make a change. We have placements organised by the school too.


I have been overwhelmed meeting new people from all over the world- Finland, Norway, USA, Greece, Italy, Hong Kong, Ireland and the rest of UK..... :) It has been so amazing to meet other people who share that love of theatre and performance!!


How has your week been?

Beautiful Advice.

  (image:byanika.com)
 'Whenever you feel unloved, unwanted, unsure, or just not enough for anyone else, ask yourself the question: "Who Am I?" What are your passions and dreams? What awesomeness are you accomplishing every day? It turns the focus back on yourself, because you are awesome and unique and beautiful. Once you start loving yourself, there will be no room for anyone else to make you feel unloveable in any way.'- Cassy, blogger at peaceandposies.blogspot.com

Dreams, Magic and Happiness...

Keep dreaming. A big dream of mine came true today. I enrolled at drama school! When I was a little girl, I used to look in the programmes of big theatre shows at the actors and actresses pages. When I found them, I would scan the information for any knowledge of where and when they trained, the top schools so I would know where to go! Although now, I don't want to be a full time actress, but a theatre practitioner working in education instead, it still has been my biggest dream to train at a specialist school. Please God, this year will hold many beautiful challenges but be a lot of fun!


What is your dream?
