An Awesome Book
This is Dallas Clayton's first book... and it is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
It is such an important and INSPIRING message for kiddies, AND adults! Clayton says on his website that it made 8 out of 20 readers cry.
Here is the first 4 pages of the book- you can view the whole thing here. And buy it here to read over and over again.
Keep viewing it.... DO IT! It is very worth the 2 minutes it will take you to enjoy. An Awesome book, an AWESOME world.

'Tucker' by Gaby Basora
Now this makes sense!
Tucker- by Gaby Basora
It's beautiful fashion that makes perfect sense!
It seems Tucker uses a selection of materials/prints for an entire collection- she then picks a few wonderful shapes accustomed to that season and WALLAH! Badabing!!!
Feminine prints, and it seems such comfortable flowy pieces!
Gaby says it best her self in her 'story':
"In the age of disposable everything, Tucker hopes to be the piece you can never part with and always want more of."
Debi Treloar- dreamy interiors
The photo is taken by Debi Treloar... Debi's biography says she is originally from Zimbabwe, and that she studied art and then photography. Debi now lives and works in London.
I found more beauties on her website. Makes me feel all dreamy. Such beautiful interiors.

Allan Watts
"To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float." ~Allan Watts
I thought you might enjoy this little video... Allan Watts is a bit wacky... but if you can get past that- he has some beautiful things to say.
He was well known as a light along the way for many, someone who grew up in the early 1900's learning the names of wild flowers and butterflies, playing beside streams, and performing funeral ceremonies for birds. He become a philosopher, writer, speaker, and student of comparative religion. He was best known as an interpreter and populariser of Asian philosophies for a Western audience.
He wrote more than twenty-five books and numerous articles on subjects such as personal identity, the true nature of reality, higher consciousness, meaning of life, concepts and images of God and the pursuit of happiness, relating his experience to scientific knowledge and to the teachings of Eastern and Western religions or philosophies (Zen Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Hinduism, etc.).
Allan Watts was a superman in the world of knowing as far as I am concerned... ; )
~Alan Watts “How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god.”“Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.”
Everybody needs a bit of Allan Watts in their life. A wonderfully whacky man.
Part Two and Part Three are on You Tube...

Brione House / Wespi de Meuron
Thanks to Arch Daily I was able to enjoy a piece of beauty! My boyfriend says that he will build me a pool like the one below one day...
The door from the house opens straight into the pool~~~
I like the idea of playing with light in design- creating the art as you build. I like this house.
Archetect: Markus Wespi Jérôme de Meuron architects
Location: Brione sopra Minusio, TI, Switzerland
~25 things people may not know about me~
I SAW ON MY FRIENDS NOTES TODAY THAT SHE HAD BEEN ASKED TO WRITE 25 THINGS THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT HER... SHE ASKED ME TO DO THE SAME... I'LL GIVE IT A WHIRL~
1. I cry a lot, from the beauty of things... Any glint of someone sharing any kind of emotion gets me. I even cry watching Worksafe ads... But witnessing passion, and love, are two that especially make the tears drip of my chin... people are so beautiful.
2. I used to be in a special maths class- but it was not special as in needing help- i was taken out of Primary school to attend an elite maths school- short lived... THANK GOD!
3. 3 Is how many times I kiss my family on the cheek when we say hello and good bye.. I will never kiss a person only twice, it's three times for good luck. Thank you Nan!
4. I can do the Moonwalk.
5. I am scared of most things- not as bad as when I was a kiddy, I just push through it now- but I still fear a lot. I used to compulsively check three times under my bed, in all of my cupboards, behind the door, in between the crack of my bed and the wall... all possible places 3 times every night. Then I would barricade myself with my five bestest teddys- i strategically placed them around my heart and my ovaries... I didn't move much when sleeping as a kid.
6. I believe in re-incarnation. And I would love to have some regression therapy...
7. I have lived in 14 houses.
8. I used to have bugsy teeth- I could fit TWO $2 coins between my two front teeth and I had a 10mm overbite...!
9. I play the Viola. I used to play the violin- I started when I was 4...
10. I have a Nintendo DS and I LOVE playing it!
11. I still have dreams of being an actress even though every week on Joke day at work- when I have to 'perform' my joke of the week- my heart stops and I have to read from the bit of paper.. It feels like everyone can actually see the burning sensation in my chest- i hope they can't...
12. My doggy named Frog is a bundle of joy that blesses my life every single day.
13. I listen to Techno when I do my banking.
14. I think children are the most perfect of all! They are an inspiration to who we should remember to be, and who we are- pure.
15. My wardrobe is worth more then... and it's not at all the price that is important to me... i just love beautiful things- and have a friend that is very good at justifying anything i like and its absurd price tag... bargains excite me just as much though.
16. My colleagues at work are like family to me. I miss them dearly whenever we have breaks... i love them all very much.
17. My mum is a Dance Movement Therapist/Reike Master/Hippie and my Father is a Scientist... opposites attract? They are divorced...
18. I want to eat my dog,
19. I have a 7-ft 6 Malibu and would love to be able to really surf on it... and do a headstand, eventually.
20. I think that meditation should be compulsory in hospitals for all recovering patients. And that all the walls should be repainted something brighter!!
21. I have made 6 short films of my own... and many many more are on their way. I want to moooooove people. In ALL directions ; )
22. I think everything happens for a reason.
23. I do breathing exercises and write 21-pieces of gratitude every single morning to start my day.
24. My sister is my soul mate.
25. I am overly indulgent in every area of my life. And I think that's a good thing.
I reflect that I have not mentioned my love Raphael- kindest man ever made. Then I realised why- this is all the things that people might not know about me... xxx
