Celebrity news :)

Every so often, I get just the faintest inkling of what it would be like to be a minor celebrity….

Like now, for example.

Check out the May issue of Shape magazine for an article I wrote on the space between mothers and daughters, ‘Fuelled by love’. I wrote about 4 pairs of amazing moms and daughters who have done cool things together (including my mom and I, even though our plans to skydive were foiled by clouds!)

Then in the May issue of O, the Oprah magazine, (the SA version) there’s an article on Blogging that lists me as one of the best Humour Blogs (who knew??) and my fabulous sister-in-law Dagmar as one of the best Crafty Blogs, and my very funny friend Megan as one of the best Lifestyle Blogs (scroll over their names to get to their blogs, for some reason the word doesn’t change colour when it’s hiding a link!)

And then, as a result of that article, in which I give a few tips for blogging, I’m going to be on SAfm on Wednesday! (For those out of South Africa, it’s one of the best national radio stations, tagline: “For the well-informed”, don’t you know!) On Nancy Richards show, between 1.30pm and 2pm. Listen in!

So all in all, I’m starting to wonder where my entourage of minions is… Any volunteers??

Cake Wrecks.

I know what you’re thinking – if I don’t have time to update you on why I don’t have time to blog, how do I have time to find these amusing websites?

Well, mainly because I’m working like a steam train today (steam trains work hard, don’t they?) and every so often I give myself a little reward, in the form of a funny website.

Like Cake Wrecks – professional cake baking gone horribly wrong. Check it out, it’s hilarious!
This is my favourite…

The caption reads: “Spelled wrong this cake is, and lonely-looking that raspberry.
If 60 miles I did, disappointed in this cake I would be.”

Ha!

I’ll be back!

With excellent explanations of why I’ve been such an absent blogger.

But till then, check out these amazing photos… they are hilarious!

This is my favourite:

This comes in close second:

Another sip of inspiration:

“Sometimes one needs to turn everything upside down to make sense of it. What if feeling the wind on your face, hugging your child, laughing with a friend, taking the family out on a picnic, helping someone in need, watching the sunset, carrying out the garbage, going for walks, having friends over for dinner… what if this is what it’s all about? What if this is what’s really important? It’s something to stop and consider as we race through our daily lives.

Let us also see the beauty that exists in one another’s hearts. Too often we forget this. It is good to remind ourselves that there is much goodness in the world, in the human heart. You will not see it on TV. You will not read about it in a newspaper. But it is there for all to see… We do in fact live in a world where people constantly help one another.

You don’t believe that? You do not see it? Put down your newspaper. Turn off your TV. Come take a walk in your own neighbourhood. Open your eyes. Feel people’s hearts. There is beauty here. Goodness, generosity, love, concern, fellowship everywhere…”

Wise words from an anonymous author! If only we could all carry such love into our lives…
