Thurs morning, and I am looking out at the trees turning the colour of Autumn which my Mother so loved. I remember how she loved walking through the fallen leaves when they were dry, and kicking them up.......such fun, good memories. She loved to laugh, however she also had some down times when laughter was hard to find. The beauty was that if sparked she could laugh and that was infectious. Unfortunately, she lived with a dark cloud over her and it coloured her world at times. She was a great Mother, she did the best she could, at times she was hard and difficult, most of the times harder on herself than others. She had amazing eyes, they really were the eyes to her emotions, and she could not lie. If she was happy so were her eys. If she was sad, so were her eyes. If she was pretending, her eyes gave her away.

When I began this blog yesterday, I didn't expect my Mother to be part of it......don't know what I expected! She is part of it and that's ok, she would have loved the attention, so go for it Mum xx

Facecream

Hello again and welcome to Toni and Heather.....my first followers, my but I am getting into this.

I am sitting at home, just had some lovely Green & Blacks hot chocolate and have a good old fashioned facecream on for dry skin (well it is winter out there). I remember my mother would go into the bathroom at night for her wash, and emerge with a shiny/greasy face from Ponds coldcream, she had the most beautiful skin. She always used soap and water, nothing fancy, and would then put on her cream, and when the light would catch her cheek bones she would shine and look so young. She had amazing cheek bones, the only make-up she used was pressed powder and lipstick, I remember putting on eyeshadow for her once, but you know she didn't need it.
I haven't thought about that for a long time and I can still see her shining.

Wow, I have a Blog...........!

Wow! I have just set up my own blog...........may not seem much to some of you, however, I am so excited. I have been introducing myself to more and more technology over the last couple of months and the speed seems to be picking up.

I was born in the sixties, we had a record player and I remember our first colour T.V., and like many people of my age I have been slow to welcome technology.........possibly due to fear. Since I began welcoming it in, my God, I love it.



Today, I joined an online Global Community of Coaches, and have been connecting there also. So exciting, great ways to improve communication rather than what I would initially have thought. So I stand corrected, I have learned.



So who am I? For now I am enjoying just being out there, so I will introduce myself later. I am enjoying the newness of this and the freedom of this BLOG.

Hello to you all and Take Care.
