I am grateful for love, friendships, memories and cliché phrases!

As it is my birthday today I have come to realise that I am surrounded by love. . via social media, mobile phones, coffee shop announcements and cuddles I AM GRATEFUL.

Friendships all around me from the barista who makes my regular soy latte to my dear friend that can make me feel good where ever she is I AM GRATEFUL.

Memories that I can think of like a movie in my mind and give me a joyous smile FREE of charge I AM GRATEFUL.

Positive Cliché phrases for those days I need an extra nudge I AM GRATEFUL.

After recent weeks I am a changed woman.. for the better of course.
I see things with different eyes and want to be a better person for my own sanity and for everyone around me.
It is time to move forward and to start designing my families future with all the things I am grateful for in it!
I feel as though today is the beginning of my new future and feel quite excited and emotional about it. 
It takes too much energy to be in a slum and would rather use it for the treadmill.
Accountable to all my friends, family and fellow Mama’s – Mama is Gonna Try and WILL Succeed!

Today or tomorrow spread some love in any form you like, then contact a friend, remember a memory that makes you smile and top it off with a phrase below... ahhh just what the doctor ordered!
Have a brilliant day/week/month/year ... xx

Quitters never win and winners never quit
Behind the clouds, the sun is shining
Life goes on
Tomorrow’s another day
When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
It could be worse
There’s nothing to fear but fear itself
Every cloud has a silver lining
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Time heals all wounds
Rome wasn’t built in a day
You have to love yourself before anyone else will
A watched pot never boils
Anything worth having is worth fighting for
When it rains, it pours
In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these
If at first you don’t succeed, redefine success
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain
There is truth in every Cliché

Mama's Gonna try...

Hi friends

Apologies for my absence I am hoping it makes the heart grow fonder.
Recently my home was flooded right through and therefore: I along with my husband and 2 rug rats are homeless.
As it happened right before Easter we went on our already planned holiday and went into complete denial for 2weeks and it WAS FABULOUS! Photo to your right was my view everyday - fantastic therapy.
We are back now and need to pack everything so the house can be repaired
  • Pack
  • Move 
  • then pack again in a few months
  • and then move back... ahhhh 
To top off this undesirable circumstance I have no internet connection (to get into the blog) which is ironic as this is the time I would really need it most.  The motivation from TRYING new things and all your support through listening to all your stories and comments is just what I need. 
This week Mama is gonna get some sort of wireless connection at the temporary accommodation so I can get back in touch with all the inspiration and motivation I need right now.
Then I will jump on the skateboard this week and resume as if my life has not changed...
I may not be here for a couple of weeks until all the loose ends are tied but please stay in touch via here or our facebook page.
thanks  
FH

ahhh WHERE IS MY FACEBOOK?

Cut off - Naked - Despair - Confused

Some of the feelings I felt when I read the words:
Account temporarily unavailable
Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few hours.
This is what popped up when I tried to log onto my facebook account this evening.
>insert absolute freak outttttttttttttttt<

We joke about it but IS IT true?
Can we live without it?
FACEBOOK
In my world I have several business pages, plus I admin a few for people. It is also a networking place for certain things and of course my group page for Mama’s Gonna Try.
I was just doing some research tonight on some potential stalls holders for a charity event I’m working on when it happen – Temporarily unavailable WHAT THE?
Are you serious?
Why?
Why me?
Am I in trouble?
Has someone hacked into my account?
What does that mean NO facebook? Am I shut out from the world? And why was MY account temporarily unavailable? Who is that person making it temporarily unavailable?
Life with no facebook I’m just not sure... and is Mama gonna Try to shut off facebook for 1week? 
I’m just not sure if I can do it..just the thought makes me a little sick and yes I did admit that out loud!
It’s my work, my social, my contact with so many..
I need to think about this and would love your feedback...
Need to sit and have a cuppa to calm down... actually where is my Instant Calm?

Another Mama who is going to try...


I have been on my Facebook group page 'Mama's Gonna Try' and seen the latest post from a
Mama in Melbourne and I am feeling so inspired and joyous right now I wanted to share:


I'm trying Yoga! Have only ever done pregnancy Yoga, 7 years ago! Don't have a lot of time to go out to classes, but with lots of stress at work I thought Yoga might be a good outlet. Borrowed some DVDs from the library and have been trying it at home - really enjoying it! The girls have even joined in a couple of times. Would like to try Pilates next! 
Oh - and I now have 5 hours on Thursdays to myself with kids at school/kinder, so I have been going to a Pump class every Thurs morning. My aim is to be toned by 40 (not liking that number btw) - 9 months to go! AND I'm going to enrol for a 6 month Cert IV in Workplace Training and Assessment course - kickstart my career change. Now I've written it I must do it! You're one hot Mama Motivator Fi xx



Now this is what I am talking about - the words motivate, inspire, challenge.. to be happy come to mind 
when I think about trying new things and following 
through.
Where action creates further action...
Thank you Rebecca you truly are the motivator and Inspiration 
Tonight!
