Hi there lovely people. I've been wanting to create a blog for a long time. I enjoy reading others although I haven't yet become a 'follower'. I think one of the nicest things to do in life is to sit down and enjoy a cuppa with a friend, and I hope that you might decide that's a good thing to do with me.
I'm old enough to be your mum or your grandma, and I've done some interesting things in my life. I've hated myself, made mistakes, taken risks and been 'burned'. Inside me is a yearning to share some of my stories with the hope that they might touch someone else who has felt the same or been through something similar and needs that moment of reassurance that comes when you realise you are not alone. My gift in life it to be an encourager and it will be my aim to encourage you to be the best and truest version of yourself that you can be, to love and accept who you have been and who you are now.
How do you take it?
In a way life is a bit like a cuppa...it can be black, white, strong, weak, sweet, bitter, hot, lukewarm, cold, satisfying or disappointing. Life is like a cuppa because when you make it yourself, you mostly get it just right for you. When the cuppa isn't right, you just tip it out and start again. We can do that with life too...and usually it is so worth the effort. If you life is like a weak, lukewarm, disappointing cup of tea, then stay tuned and find the courage to tip it out and make yourself a fresh one!
So, pull up a chair, make yourself comfortable and enjoy sharing a cuppa with me now and then. I'll value your feedback and your comments and look forward to hearing your stories too.
With love

This is a great idea Kerry. So how do I take it? Every which way. My cuppa atm is a nice Black Adder licorice tea, hot! I like it cold too or luke warm....
ReplyDeleteThanks Karin...so happy to see you here! I haven't had Black Adder for while but I know it's yummy. Herb teas are a great way to increase the cuppa repertoire. You're right about having them cold. When I lived in Queensland I used to make it up in a bottle and keep it in the fridge. Very refreshing!
DeleteHi Kerry,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new blog. I can see it will be a big hit. A lot of ladies are just looking for such an outlet, a forum to share our thoughts, fears and joys with others. Women love networking and supporting each other, but most of all we "just wanna have fun"!
I have three children, 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandson (3 months old) I too love life and the challenges it throws at me regularly. I have come through some really hard times and when I look back I often wonder how DID I get through? I believe my optimism and my innate belief in the goodness of people, even when no such goodness was evident, in fact just the opposite, that and just plain hard work got me through every time.
LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT! how many times have we heard this? But it is so true! If you think you can or you think you can't, you are correct. We are what we think. So I just want to encourage everyone who joins us here to believe in themselves and never let anyone tell you that you can't do something!
lots of love and hugs, Glenda xx
Hi Glenda,
DeleteThanks so much for your encouraging words and I hope that is just what this blog will be...a place for people to meet and share ideas and most of all encouragement! I certainly don't profess to have all the answers to life, but I do know that many of us have similar challenges and experiences and it means so much to share with someone else who can listen with understanding and empathy. Thanks for your comment and I hope you will visit often!
Lots of love to you too. Kerry xox
Hi Kerry, i love the comparison of life and a cuppa - i just wish life changes could be as simple as pouring away one cup of tea and starting again. Off to read more of your musings now, love, K
ReplyDeleteHi Kim. You're right, it is much harder than just going to the sink and tipping, but the principle is the same...we can start afresh and make changes so life suits us better. Wishing you love and peace. Kerry xox
