Courtesy of the University of Queensland, 239 bright stars have been given a challenge: to Make A Difference (M.A.D). How? You ask. Well, it is up to each individual to decide what he/or she wants to do, the sky is the limit.
Me? I, in my insecure, undecisive manner, am a part of this challenge....but what am I to do?
Starting small, (literally - my nickname is Centimetre for a reason), i decided that i cannot be unhappy with the state of the world in which i live, the country in which i live, or even the street in which i live; until i am happy with myself.
Unfortunately i am not happy with myself, in fact, i look at myself and i want to cry or scream or rip my eyes out - not because i don't like what i see on the outside (not that i love myself either) but because i don't like what i see on the inside.
So, having been inspired by a book called "Redefining Beautiful" by Jenna Lucado, i have decided to learn to love myself, and then make a difference in the world, because i deserve it (see? first bit of self-praise). If you want to come along for the ride...be my guest, do what you want. Love yourself, because there is some one, some where, who needs your help too.
Tears and I have a love hate relationship. we tend to live in a state of wariness, as if we don’t fully trust one another. I am constantly on the defense, tears on the offense. I am being rendered useless by water coming out of my eye! Gosh, what has my life come to?
Mah Desk - Gotta have a bit of outside, inside. Makes life a little more peaceful, hence indoor plants. I thinks.

from Das Schloß (The Castle) by Franz Kafka
A note from Max Lucado
There is more to your life than you ever thought. There is more to your story than what you have read. There is more to your song than you have sung. A good author saves the best for last. A great composer keeps his finest for the finish. And God, the author of life and composer of hope, has done the same for you.
The best is yet to be
And so I urge you, don’t give up.
And so I plead, finish the journey.
And so I exhort, be there.
Be there when God whispers your name.
Beautiful
The old definition of beautiful: Having attractive qualities that give great delight or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, etc.; excellent of its kind; particularly graceful, lovely, or pretty….
The NEW definition of Beautiful: What God sees when God sees you!
(Redefining Beautiful by Jenna Lucado)
“Mirror mirror on the wall, who is fairest of them all?”
“…well, you aren’t…”
