Smear Tests Really Do Save Lives
Smear tests really do save lives, i didn’t realise how important it is to have them until the last couple of weeks. Had my first smear last month, a couple of weeks later was told I had abnormal cells on my cervix and have an appointment at the hospital for a colposcopy,
I went this morning and it showed I had high grade CIN3 pre cancerous cells, basically one step away from having cervical cancer, if I hadn’t of went for my smear these CIN3 cells would have developed into cancer if left untreated, I’ve had LLETZ treatment to remove all of the pre cancerous cells and a biopsy sent away to make sure it was all removed🙏🏼 I’m so thankful I went for my smear and it was caught in time, make sure you go girls!

The Sigh Of Relief When No Judgement Is Given
To the mum i walked past on my way to collect my little girl from preschool. Your child was kicking off quite literally, kicking – punching – and slapping you around the face. I saw your face when our eyes locked.
I saw how you were keeping your upset in when all you wanted to do was shout as each blow hit you. I saw how you deep down felt like I thought how unruly your boy was being. The sigh of relief of no judgement spread across your face when i told you – you’re doing amazing it may not seem like it but you are!
I think as mums & dads we forget how amazing we truly are. We put up with so much crap sometimes, always putting these small beings before us that we forget that we are human and we are all just trying to do the best we can day to day! Some days are better than others. But we get through everyday because we are super! We are awesome and we shouldn’t ever forget that!
So if you’re having a day like the woman i saw today just know you’re awesome and it won’t last forever. You’ve got this 💪🏼

The Amazing Baggage Activity
This starts my 22nd year of teaching middle school. Yesterday was quite possibly one of the most impactful days I have ever had.
I tried a new activity called “The Baggage Activity”. I asked the kids what it meant to have baggage and they mostly said it was hurtful stuff you carry around on your shoulders.
I asked them to write down on a piece of paper what was bothering them, what was heavy on their heart, what was hurting them, etc. No names were to be on a paper. They wadded the paper up, and threw it across the room.
They picked up a piece of paper and took turns reading out loud what their classmate wrote. After a student read a paper, I asked who wrote that, and if they cared to share.
I’m here to tell you, I have never been so moved to tears as what these kids opened up and about and shared with the class.
Things like suicide, parents in prison, drugs in their family, being left by their parents, death, cancer, losing pets (one said their gerbil died cause it was fat, we giggled😁) and on and on.
The kids who read the papers would cry because what they were reading was tough. The person who shared (if they chose to tell us it was them) would cry sometimes too. It was an emotionally draining day, but I firmly believe my kids will judge a little less, love a little more, and forgive a little faster.
This bag hangs by my door to remind them that we all have baggage. We will leave it at the door. As they left I told them, they are not alone, they are loved, and we have each other’s back.
I am honored to be their teacher.

How These Children Were Woken From Inevitable Death
In 1922 the scientists went to a hospital ward with diabetic children, most of them comatose and dying from diabetic keto-acidosis. This is known as one of medicine’s most incredible moments. Imagine a room full of parents sitting at the bedside waiting for the inevitable death of their child. The scientists went from bed to bed and injected the children with the new purified extract – insulin. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first child injected began to awaken. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room of death and gloom became a place of joy and hope.
In the early 1920s Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under the directorship of John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip insulin was purified, making it available for the successful treatment of diabetes. Banting and Macleod earned a Nobel Prize for their work in 1923.

Cucumbers Solving So Many Life Problems-Game Changer
Cucumbers… I didn’t know this…& to think all these years I’ve
only been making salads with the cucumbers… 💕
WHAT A LITTLE GEM THE CUCUMBER IS. I WILL LOOK
AT IT DIFFERENTLY NOW. 😝
1.
Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.
2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.
3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.
4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give
off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.
5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a
Few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!
6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!
7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers
have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.
8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don’t have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks
great but also repels water.
9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!
10.Stressed out and don’t have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber will react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.
11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don’t have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemicals will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.
12. Looking for a ‘green’ way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the
shine, but is won’t leave streaks and won’t harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.
13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!
Pass this along to everybody you know who is looking for better and safer ways to solve life’s everyday problems.

We Need A World Full Of Genuine Amazing Women
I’M NOT PERFECT
God only knows that is true.
I say the wrong things, often.
I make the wrong choices, daily.
I overlook life’s important things sometimes and become bogged down in the shallow end.
I occasionally judge others with the harshness I view myself. And that is wrong.
I am most definitely not perfect.
I am not a perfect partner, daughter, colleague, friend, parent or lover.
Some days, it is all I can do to keep swimming, to stay afloat.
Other days I feel like I could take on the world and win.
But mostly, I lumber through the days blindly, hoping for the best.
I may not be perfect, my friends.
But you know what I definitely am?
I am myself.
I am genuine.
I am kind.
I am true.
I am human.
I am trying to be better.
Every day.
And perfection may continue to elude me for evermore, but it really doesn’t matter.
In fact, perfection may well be a myth.
For I have never seen it.
So, don’t judge my imperfection please, unless you have reached that sacred place already.
Instead, why not join me here in the real world.
A world full of genuine, ‘normal’, amazing women – getting it wrong every day… and being wonderfully imperfect.
