Poppy tags on everyone- Remembrance Day.

THE STORY OF THE POPPY
In the spring of 1915, shortly after losing a friend in Ypres, a Canadian doctor, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired by the sight of poppies growing in battle-scarred fields to write a now famous poem called 'In Flanders Fields'. After the First World War, the poppy was adopted as a symbol of Remembrance.
WHAT THE POPPY MEANS
The poppy is
A symbol of Remembrance and hope
Worn by millions of people
Red because of the natural colour of field poppies
The poppy is NOT
1. A symbol of death or a sign of support for war
2. A reflection of politics or religion
       Red to reflect the colour of blood
Wearing a poppy is a personal choice and reflects individual and personal memories. It is not compulsory but is greatly appreciated by those it helps – our beneficiaries: those currently serving in our Armed Forces, veterans, and their families and dependants.

Just be .............

     If you want to get what everyone is getting, do what everyone is doing. Growing up, I just wanted to be like everyone else. I didn't value or understand the beauty in being different at the time in my life. I was happy trying to be anyone else, because no one will blame me for what i do.  At a point , I found out that is not life.     Today I  say to you! Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. "Originality is a by product of sincerity and sincerity a virtue" . Being different means:-Not being afraid to challenge the norm.-Being willing to take a chance.-Asking why.-Making your own track, not just following the well trodden path.- Charting your own course and destiny.-Being the person that you were meant to be. I believe that everyone is born unique. Society celebrates mediocrity so much that it does not take much to set yourself above the rest. Doing that one thing regularly will pu

EVERY WOMAN

Who exactly is a principles woman? Well, not only does she have a learned knowledge of who she is and how she should be treated , she also has an understanding.  Have you ever known people who have lots of knowledge but they don't seem to truly understand things? I thought so! This principles woman knows what time it is. And she understands exactly what she deserves. The sum total of the deal is this: A principles woman knows who she is in the eyes of God and understands her worth. She sees herself "seated in heavenly places" with a rich inheritance.  She will not allow herself to be mishandled by someone who is a spiritual and emotional pauper. Her position isn't something she boldly proclaims, but everything about her actions and the way she carries herself says it all. A principles woman is not only a woman of surpassable character, she's got it going on in every way. Her head is together, her heart is together, her spirit is together and she has deve
