My Little Matilda My own little Matilda is coming to stay for the weekend. She is 10 and rather mature for her age in terms of academics and her world view. However, this isn't always nurtured so I am prepared to relish my weekend watering the shining sunflower of her mind and making her feel valued in the world.

Assistance Please! I am looking for a little guidance with regards to submitting short stories to be published in any forum. Does anyone have any success stories or tips? Thank you. X

Omertà Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the Rule of Honour.

Friends I have 2 people in the world that I would trust with anything and everything in my #life. Those 2 people are worth infinitely more than the 'friends' that are just there to say they have lots of friends and that back away slowly when your #life doesn't appeal to them any more.

Strength It is one thing to live an easy #life- it is quite another to have the strength to live a difficult one.
