If there is anything I've learnt from #HomeAndAway this week, it's that life is so short that we shouldn't let the sun go down upon our anger. We should do our best to forgive. For we don't know what tomorrow will bring. Some amazing writing in the storylines and truely brilliant acting with such raw emotion! True talent - 2012 is going to be a good'ne!! @Lisa_Gormley @_DanEwing @lincolnyounes1 @BecEBreeds @axle_whitehead @RhiannonMFish @LynneMcGranger @dJonesRoberts @charlescottier @LukeMitchell_ #StephenPeacock @Cam_Welsh
@kelly_clarkson - Unfortunately we live in an imperfect world, full of sadness, hurting and hate. I admire you for doing your part, for standing up and speaking out and doing your best to make this world and the country you live in a better place. Sending love to you all the way from Australia - I know it doesn't take the sting out of the words but I hope it puts a smile on your face none-the-less. :) I obviously don't know you and don't know your beliefs but I find these verses encouraging and helpful. 1 Corinthians 16:13/Ephesians 6:10-20/Acts 18:9/Philippians 4:13 xx
@Lisa_Gormley Yes, I have! A Mission Trip to Thailand in 2007. The main areas we volunteered in were the Leprosy Village, Government Orphanage and Aids Orphanage. I have to say it was one of the most amazing but yet the most challenging experiences in my life and me just saying that doesn't do it justice. I went into it thinking that I was going to help, to teach, to change and to impact lives. But now when I look back the people we interacted with, spent time with, worked with and cried with were the ones who helped us, who taught us about life and changed and impacted our lives for the better. I don't think anyone can fully grasp that until they themselves experience it personally. It was rewarding, challenging, exciting, scary but truly incredible. I would do it all again in a heart beat and recommend it 100%. Go for it, jump in...what have you got to lose?! Love and Light xx
@Telethon7 - I have many favourite Telethon moments. One being the atmosphere of the entire weekend, whether you were at the PCEC, PMH, the Phone Rooms, Kids Carnival or even just sitting at home watching it on the TV - just being able to experience the excitement, joy, love, passion and care that everyone has and puts into this event – it is amazing and magical all at once! Another would be seeing the stars, not in the ‘hype and fame’ way but in the way that they reveal I guess their true down to earth personalities, which you often don’t get to see. Knowing they could have been anywhere else that weekend but they chose to fly to Perth and spend quality time with the kids, their families, fans etc and help out whether it was encouraging everyone to donate or just being a listening ear – that in its self speaks millions of them. One that really sticks out in my mind is listening to Dr Fiona Stanley speak – the passion and conviction that is behind everything she says and does is truly amazing and beautiful, what an incredible role model! Last but not least would be seeing the kids faces and hearing the many remarkable stories about them, stories of strength, hardship and courage and their amazing outlooks on life. We have so much to learn from them. Telethon 2011 was truly incredible and I am so proud of everyone involved!
