Are we being the friend we wish to have?

Friends are like sweets: If you pick the sour ones, you're as much to blame as they are.

                          

Lately I have been hearing people say "Oh she never calls me," or "Why do I always have to ring her" or "She never invites me anywhere."

Does that sound like a friend?
And I don't mean the person being talked about, I mean the person doing the talking!

Often, when we find that there is something we are not happy with in others, it reflects on something in ourselves.  If you find a friend never calls you, consider the last time you picked up the phone to them.  When you feel as though you do not get invited out or included in plans, ask yourself when you last invited that person to hang out with you.

Friendship is a two way thing.  What we ask of others we must also be willing to provide;  otherwise that is not friendship.  Friends give equally and wholly.

I, myself am guilty of this too.  I pledge to make more of an effort with my people, instead of whining about what they allegedly do not do for me.

This lesson was highlighted to me by a very wise man :)


Much love to you all x

Charity Fundraiser

HEYYY!!

If you follow me on Twitter, you will know that I have been raising money for charity for the purpose of a college project.  The task was to plan, develop and execute a fundraiser for a charity of our choice. 

I chose Noah's Ark Children's Hospice.  They are a charity that help and support children with life-threatening and life-limited illnesses, and their families.  Offering support, advice and counselling to parents of bereaved children, this charity is something those in need heavily rely on.  Noah's Ark also organise sibling days to lift the spirits of brothers and sisters affected by an ill sibling.  I really believe in their work and was more than happy to raise money for them.  As well as that, I also plan to sign up as a volunteer.

On Saturday, we put on a children's fun day at my local church.  There was a cake, book sale, teddy bear prizes, biscuit decorating and games.  I made a special effort to greet all the guests and ensure everyone was looked after.  Everyone who attended said they really enjoyed themselves!  It was a great day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am so proud of what was achieved; it made all the stress and hiccups worthwhile!  I would do it all again, but be a little wiser next time. 

All my family and friends that have supported me, I am so very grateful.  I feel very blessed .  I love you all if you are reading this!

We have set up a Go Fund Me, where people can donate to our cause. Just click the link!! 
If you are able to donate and/or share the link please do!  Whether its £1 or more, every amount helps.

This has been a great experience.  I have learnt A LOT and found some qualities in myself I did not know I had: for that I am thankful.

Thank you for taking the time to read.
Much love xx
