Literally just discovered Selah Sue two minutes ago and am already completely obsessed with her music. I consider it a mixture of reggae and R&B with a splash of pop. 

Enjoy :)

Life is too short. Live every day like it’s your last. You have nothing to lose so live out your wildest dreams. Don’t live with regrets and don’t live with hate. Make sure that at the end of the road, you can look back an be happy of the person you’ve become.

Hope is the best gift you can give a good friend going through a hard time. This book lasts much longer than any bouquet of flowers and will plant inspiration and hope in the hearts of everyone who reads it. It follows the lives of two caterpillars, Stripe and Yellow, who are facing the issues of life, death, goals, alternatives, anxiety and the metamorphosis that occurs on the path of becoming more and more yourself. No better description than the one on the cover: “a tale–partly about life, partly about revolution and lots about hope for adults and others (including caterpillars who can read)” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I agree with Lexy. This book makes my heart sing. When I re-read it, it makes me cry every now and then. Someone ever so dear gave it to me, I have read it to one of the people that is most dear to me, in my life. I will continue to pass this book throughout my life. It is a beautiful reminder of what is important in this life, what things are not. How to get lost, how to be found. The importance of love, the importance of living life. I promise that you will love this book, and anyone who truly looks behind the meanings will be greatly affected, as I was. It reminds us to celebrate hope. I was so happy and not at all surprised that Lexy knew about this book. …

"YOU
It is not that we don’t have the strength within us…
We have more strength than we could possibly imagine.
Most of us fail to see it within ourselves
yet so willingly see it in others.
What if we nurtured ourselves to the point where
we discovered and experienced our own greatness?
What if we finally realised that we are limited
only by our thoughts and by what we think is or
isn’t possible for us? After all, that is the truth…
nothing more, nothing less.
It is our thoughts that determine our experiences,
not only of ourselves, but of our world and of others…
Too often we fail to see that at any given moment we have a
choice to alter our lives, our existence.
Too often we are driven automatically by who we think we
are or should be as opposed to who we possibly could be…
Sometimes we choose to be angry, ungrateful, resentful
and jealous when instead we have the ability to choose to
be accepting, forgiving and grateful for all that we have…
Choose (with goodness in your heart) to be brave,
courageous and adventurous in this world and
acknowledge all who are being just that, for they
have overcome what many have yet to overcome…
the fear of knowing who they really are.
Look forward and dream of what’s possible for your life…
and remember that the only thing limiting
you is your thoughts.
Only you have the power to change your thoughts.
Alter your thoughts and you alter your world."
– Miranda Kerr
