365 Days of Positivity - Days 15-21

My third week of positivity! Each day it's getting harder and harder to think of things, but I do! And it's helping so much, I'm not feeling as depressed because I'm always looking for something positive to write for that day.
Day 15
I have always enjoyed fashion. I remember loving playing dress ups as a child and pretending to be a fashion critique.
My love for fashion has created opportunities I never could have dream of, one being the success of my fashion blog. Being sent things to review is amazing! Not only that, but the friendships I get to make in the fashion world is so amazing and perfect. Fashion has made me even more of a special person, and I need to remember that.
Day 16
I see caring for animals as an important aspect of life. After all, we were once at a state of 'animal' and I'm sure if we looked back thousands of years we would see us humans as animals. People eat meat, have pets etc. No matter what the animal it should be given respect and be cared for.
Day 17
It is important to want to learn. People all over the world don't get that opportunity, whether they live in a state of poverty, or they're too sick to go to school, or they are carers for their parents. I honesty see education as a gift, and we really should cherish and use it to our advantage. We could be exploring the stars if we really tried.

Day 18
In a world that is changing we do need to be open minded. We need to accept who others are, how they are born, how they choose to be, how they look and how they act. If you don't like someone for their decisions, for who they are you need to assess why, really think about it, and you need to do yourself and that person a favour, and live your own life. This goes for everything, for yourself, if you don't like who you are, be open minded and explore who you are, who you can be.

Day 19
Loyalty and dedication is something that is rare and I hold onto it so tight. The more loyal and dedicated I am, the better.

Day 20
Just because I'm Catholic doesn't mean I should shy away from the changes happening in the world. I complete support Equal Rights for every human being. Just because you love someone of the same gender, doesn't mean you shouldn't get the same right the rest of the population has. Just because the bible says God created the world in 7 days doesn't mean that it was 7 EARTH days, nor does it mean that there wasn't dinosaurs, or that we didn't start out as something else.
Day 21
Everything in my life is a gift. Every single thing I have, someone else out there, has not even 1% of what that's worth. Food, clothes, a roof over my head are all basic things everyone takes for granted. I'm so appreciative that I'm lucky enough to have such simple things that others go without.

365 Days of Positivity - Days 8-14

Here is my second week's worth of positivity. I know I'm a bit late in uploading, but better late than never! 

Day 8
I see reading, and love of books as something so important. To learn you need to read, to understand and explore all forms of literature. It doesn't even have to be what everyone considers literature, a comic, a short novel, a poem, everything from words to symbols is so important, and one persons personality and creativity can be expanded through reading.

Day 9
I feel so strongly about helping others and giving second chances, even third, fourth and twentyth chances! Yes, sometimes it's never a good idea to give someone another chance, but if I can not give others another chance, I should definately not expect that they would give me another chance. If everyone helped one another, the world would be such a different place.
Day 10
I love that I look like my mum, it show's she is my mum, and the fact I am so much like her, I just have so much to thank her for. 
Looking like my mum is perfect, amazing, everything I could ever want. I'd never want to look any other way. 
And even though I'm not very confident in my appearance, I see my mum as so beautiful, so I don't understand why I can't see myself the same. 
I love you so much mum.
Day 11
Even now, writing these positive things, and getting stuck on a day, unable to think of what to write for that day, I don't give up, I think all through the day what I could write. I just don't give up.
Day 12
I am so proud of having, and being able to use my imagination. So many people lack of, or don't use their imagination. You NEED to use it, it is essential in discovering new things, creating new things, everything. Life would be boring without imagination.
Day 13
I am actually so proud that I won baby competitions. I have trophies and ribbons and it just makes me so happy. It's hard to think that I was once a cute baby. And when I see photo's of myself so much younger, I can't help but think I was so much more cute and pretty then, than I am now.
Day 14
I can handle pain. Yes, some pain I don't handle well, but I still push through it. I could have a dislocated hip and I'd still walk around, doing my own thing just because I could handle the pain, I could block it out to an extent.

Fundraising for ME/CFS Australia


To kick off ME/CFS Awareness month, let me telly you all about my fundraising for the next 12+ months!
First off, I'm making tie dye shirts! The whole profit goes to ME/CFS Australia who have helped me so much since my diagnosis. They are an amazing organisation that helps so many Australian's who suffer from M.E.
Check out my tie dye shirts! You can buy them here!
Secondly, my mum has been helping me organise a papercraft workshop and party plan expo. Not only will profits be going to ME/CFS Australia, but all party plan consultants have been asked to make either myself or the organisation as the host to ensure as much money can be raised as possible! Thank-you to the Maryborough Cricket Club for not only discounting the hall, but making a donation to cover the cost of hall hire!
Thirdly, a huge raffle consisting of a $250 photography session and photo enlargement voucher from Thomsons Photographic Gallery; $198 of jewellery from Natures Art Melbourne; $72 of hair accessories from Velvet Teacup and much more! As donations are received for our fundraising thank-you's are being posted to my Facebook page.

Fourthly, once I've raised $50 I will be dying my HAIR BLUE for Awareness of this horrid disease. You can help me reach my goals by donating to my Everyday Hero Account, or participating in the ways I'm fundraising. 

Every little thing helps, from making a donation, reading my blogs, or sharing a picture. It raises awareness. You never know, someone close to you may be suffering and not diagnosed.
M.E destroy's lives and I want to help make a difference.
