SONG, SPIRIT & SOUL: Poetry Freestyle

Hi guys!

Happy Friday to those of you on this side of the hemisphere. I am typing this at 01:01am. The end of the week is the best time for most. When you get that Friday feel in' nothing can beat that! Here goes my first poetry freestyle as I can't sleep.

Look Within

Looking in from the outside

The night sky on the horizon

The melody of the wind

Says to look within

Look within for strength

Look within for hope

Look IN from the OUTSIDE

Outside may look like a lot

A lot that meets the eye

But not the heart

With our eyes we see

With our heart we feel

So I say to you

Look in from the outside

Your heart says ALOT!

Song, Spirit & Soul : Happy New Year!

Hi everyone!


I'm sure you have noticed I have been M.I.A! But rest assured I had an amazing holiday season and I hope you did too!

Now that 2015 is here we all have our resolutions. Instead of resolutions I prefer goals, a small list of achievable ones. Using the SMART formula I have written down three goals, and within these tasks required to actually achieve them. This is something I learnt in Professional Development at uni- and it is SO useful. Once you write some goals down and have a strategy you feel like a weight is lifted off your shoulders!

Hope you all get those goals up and running and 2015 is an amazing year!

I plan to bring a lot more to the cyber world, so look out for more. So much is happening this year including some NEW music of course. I will be recording and releasing a piano EP 'Moonlight In The Clouds' this month! Snippets as well as letting you in on my musical journey will be here too.


This year mum decided no cooking, so we went to The Hilton hotel for Christmas lunch. It was great! We were sure to pig out, and enjoy the festivities!



Here are some photos from this years Christmas:

New Years Eve we cancelled all plans and stayed home, since we had guests on New Years Day. Dressed up to welcome 2015 of course!

SPIRIT Post: Freestyle

Hi Guys,

So I decided to type, type what was on my mind. Whatever came into my head. I love writing, poetry/lyrics so I may do some more of these random poetry freestyles; no edits.

Up against it all

Up against it all

Up against the wall

Up against the wall

It's not easy

To admit when we fall

Up against it all

Up against the wall

What's life

With no meaning at all

Up against it all

Up against it all

The trials and tribulations

Will one day feel so small

Up against the wall

Up against the wall

Always remember

You were called

For His plan

Up against it all

Up against it all

No mountain is ever too tall

Up against it all

Up against it all

No mountain is ever too tall

SPIRIT POST: Religion

A friend of mine tweeted a video titled 'Why I hate Religion, But Love Jesus' a poem written by a guy who goers by the name of JeffBetheke aka Jefferson Betheke about his journey to becoming a Christian where he highlighlights the difference between religion (Christianity) and being a believer of Jesus Christ in his eyes. A catholic priest responded in the same spoken word form, video entitled: 'Why I Love Religion, And Love Jesus, showing the Catholic perspective.

I found this extremely interesting as I had never thought of separating religion with being a believer. Refreshing I think- as a believer in love and positivity most of all.

After watching Jefferson's spoken word and the response in a Catholic's perspective, I wrote my own poem in a sense. Unedited & Uncut, first words typed into my iPhone here it is:

Jesus

Means 

Love

Agape

If we love

We tear down all barriers

All divides gone

Religion 

To this day still

Creates separation and divide

Christianity split into 

Subdivisions

Via Henry the 8th

Who wanted to get divorced and remarried

Religion has been another form of segregation

BUT

I do believe if we are to 

Make 

Being a follower of Jesus Christ

Possible

We do need the umbrella Christianity

Which is in turn a religion

As the way the world

Society works

The security held in

Faith and religion

Can be damaged

And make it impossible 

To seek the love

And relationship

With Jesus 

As you can tell I can see and understand both points of view. 

See the video links below. 

Food for thought. Refreshing!
