True Blue Meaningful Blogging on Life & Loss

Let it not be said that this blogger ignored the deep and meaning blogging Down Under. Of all the snippets I’ve read on antipodean blogs in the past years, the ones that's stirred up the most belong to postings by Gianna and Wayne.
If you don't already check their sites I recommend you do, they write beautifully and inspirationally in my opinion...I think they make my Slavic soul sing...

Antipodean Bohemians Shake your booties
Fictional pregnancy diary of Cooke's trademark cartoon character, Hermoine the Modern Girl:
One book has four filthy drawings of bright pink couples 'making love' during pregnancy, in different positions. In the first position they look bored. In the second position they look like they've had a lobotomy. In the third they look really smug, and in number four, I don't know how this is quite conveyed, but I'm pretty sure they were singing 'Michael Row the Boat Ashore'.

Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid to cry, as tears can baptize the soul anew.
Don’t be afraid to change your mind, as concession is often an act of courage.
Don’t be afraid to be lost… you might just find yourself if you leave the safe path.
Don’t be afraid to fight a just fight… if it matters to you… it matters!
Don’t be afraid to be laugh at the hilarity of it all.
Don’t be afraid to feel scared, life IS scary.
Don’t be afraid to trust, love or care about others.
Don’t be afraid to fail, as doing so often offers the most valuable lessons.
Don’t be afraid to be alone, for until you can be alone you cannot be with others.
Don’t be afraid to be different because we all are.
Don’t be afraid to dream as they are your only limitation.
Don’t be afraid
