Wish I was famous as Paddy

Wish I was as famous as Paddy,
The grower of greens with a grin so chatty.
Not a movie star, not front-page news,
Just Paddy and plants stealing all the views.

While I’m out here Googling “How to be seen,”
Paddy’s out there growing celebrity green.
Carrots line up for a signed debut,
“Please Paddy, one selfie—just one will do!”

Tomatoes blush when he walks on by,
Lettuce faints (emotionally, not a lie).
Even the soil whispers, “Mate’s a star,”
Worms brag softly, “Yeah… we know who you are.”

Wish I was as famous as Paddy, it’s true,
No red carpet—just gumboots and dew.
Proof that fame doesn’t need glitz or glitter,
Just good vibes, good crops, and a compost critter.

And while Paddy grows hope straight out of the ground,
I’m doing my bit, planting kindness around 🌱
With a little bird planter pot—cute as can be,
$1 from each sale goes to mental health, you see.

Small pots, big hearts, that’s the plan I’ve got,
Because healing can start with a plant in a pot 🐦💚

My Commitment to Mental Health — And Why I’m Taking On the 2,000 Push-Up Challenge

Available only in New Zealand at the moment.

Cute planter pot available at Jazeez Store, $1 contribution will go to Mental Health NZ

“ Take Me Home 🌼”

Mental health isn’t just a topic we talk about when things fall apart — it’s something we nurture every single day. Over the years, I’ve learned that strength isn’t just measured in muscles or milestones… it’s measured in moments. Moments when we choose to show up for ourselves, and moments when we show up for others.

That’s why I’ve decided to take on a personal challenge:
2,000 push-ups in support of mental health.

Yes — 2,000.

Not for fitness.
Not for competition.
But for awareness, support, and conversation.

Why This Challenge Matters to Me

Mental health struggles are often silent, hidden behind smiles or busy routines. Many people fight battles no one sees. I want to use this challenge to spark conversations, break stigma, and remind anyone reading this that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Every push-up is a reminder of the importance of resilience — both physical and emotional.

Join Me on This Journey

You don’t have to do 2,000 push-ups.
You don’t even have to do 20.

You can join me by:

Doing your own mini challenge
Sharing your mental health story (if you feel comfortable)
Encouraging someone who might be struggling
Or simply cheering from the sidelines

Your presence alone makes a difference.

Let’s Build a Community of Courage

I’d love for you to comment, share your thoughts, or even tell me what challenge you want to take on for your own wellbeing.
Like this post if it resonates, and please share it — you might reach someone who needs this reminder today.

Crime and the Criminal

This article marks the beginning of my new series, Crime and the Criminal: One Entity or Two? In Part 1, I set the stage by asking a difficult question: do we judge the crime, or do we judge the criminal? Through storytelling and reflection, this piece explores how society, victims, offenders, and the justice system often blur the line between the act and the individual. The series will examine the New Zealand justice system, the psychology of repeat offenders, the role of addiction and social exclusion, and the possibility of reform. My hope is to spark conversation, empathy, and critical thought — not only among law professionals but also among victims, offenders, and readers seeking a deeper understanding of justice.

Please read,like,share and comment your thoughts.

Dreams, Interpretation and Spirituality

First part of my life 0 to 35-36 Years of Age a walk through my life’s journey and the dreams I saw what it could mean and possible interpretations.

The world of dreams is fascinating, exciting and mysterious, is also scary at times. While some people hardly dream and some dream occasionally and others very often.

Dreams are a medium of self realization and making necessary changes, only if the person dreaming can remember some or all of their dreams. It also tells the person about state of his mind. What that person might be thinking of or worried about. It can sometimes allow a person to pro actively act upon their present, past or future issues on hand depending on weather the issue is still valid or is going to be valid in near or distant future.

Here, I will write my dreams, their partial remembrance and any known or hidden meaning that can be easily established. As for my older dreams I can only draw a rough timeline and for my most current dreams I can validate it with more accurate or close timeline. As far as I understand I used to get dreams from my very early teens and twenties. Most of those are not remembered by me however, there was one dream that was almost recurring and had a very strong message or interpretation. I will talk about that dream in my next coming post.

What are your thoughts about dreams, do you dream a lot? do you remember them at all? How do yo u interpret your dreams? Do you like to self interpret or ask someone who has some knowledge about dreams? What do you do to feel better or understand your dreams? Comment, like and share your thoughts.

Precision Ruler for Accurate Woodworking Layouts

https://zeekeyware.wed2c.com/s/2BHY7cCbbcf

Unparalleled Accuracy: Our latest precision ruler can provide unparalleled accuracy for your panel layout work. Just press the head to the desired angle, and then press the straight line. The head can be adjusted between 0° and 70° and is firmly locked every 5° (plus 22-1 / 2° and 67-1 / 2°), so as to provide you with an accurate reference angle and length respectively.
Woodworkers Edge Rule: The secret to the TTKJ T-Square is the series of precisely machined indexing holes and the spring-loaded, tight-tolerance indexing pin that meshes with them. The pin snaps into place giving you the confidence to know it is spot-on accurate.
Three Sizes Available: It is 10 inches, 15 inches, or 20 inches. Both edges of the blade are laser engraved with an inch scale in 1/32? increments. The graduations are held to a tolerance of ±.004″ total accumulated error over the length of the blade. The thin, satin-finish stainless-steel blade is easy to read and minimizes parallax error.
Perfect Woodworking Layout Tools: Even when you’re not working with angles, this is a layout tool you’ll reach for on almost every project. Does the blade feature the same exclusive? saw-tooth? design scribing notches found in our new Stainless Steel Precision Woodworking Squares. There’s a notch every sixteenth-inch all along the blade. Just drop your pencil in the notch and slide the head along the edge of your stock for a perfectly parallel line.

What do I get from writing poetry, quotes and Fundraising

🌹 Someone once asked me:“What do you get out of writing poetry, quotes, and fundraising for charities?”The truth? I don’t get much in the material sense.But I gain something far greater:

✨ The joy of turning words into hope.

✨ The chance to give voice to those who feel unseen.

✨ The opportunity to let art serve a purpose bigger than myself.That’s why I wrote If Rose Could Talk—a poem reminding working professionals to pause, breathe, and remember their worth.

For me, poetry is not just about beauty, it’s about impact.I don’t just write for myself—I write so words can bloom into kindness. 🌹

Also available for digital download in png/pdf formats on Trademe that is New Zealand’s largest online Marketplace.
