Ha- thanks Jenlemen I did borrow part of that from your gorgeous little zine. :-)

Well I havent been on here at all for quite some time, but you are not forgotten. Thank you for your messages, emails and thoughts - much appreciated.

I have totally reinvented myself. I have lost 16 kilo and am now trained as a fitness instructor ( i graduate at the end of this month - it was three month intensive course with time off for Easter *smile*.) I am hoping to get a part time job at a gym while I also build my home based business as a fitness instructor/personal trainer. I am running several classes from home and also have a couple of clients already.

I have had no time for the internet except for study. If im not writing programs or designing exercise classes I am researching for study or reading or DOING classes or out running or other exercise.

Its been hectic but worth it. Feeling fantastic and very positive about this new direction.

(((((((((HUGS)))))))))

However I just heard about an event in Victoria (Australia) that may be of interest to some people- so I will post it here.
Personally I am against the death penalty so this is of interest to me - I dont want to have a discussion about who did what or what they deserve- this is for info only *grin* Cheers; Luv to all xoxo


"Our committee "this precious life" is holding a benefit/rally/event to bring people together so that we can step up pressure on the Aust. govt to bring the Bali 9 back to Australia, and be retried in Australian courts.
Many business, artists and individuals have donated presents/prizes for our raffles and the support for you all is overwhelming in our district (Daylesford Victoria). Our event will be held at the Palais, Hepburn Springs on the 25th Feb 2007 1p.m. onwards. We will have senior representatives from the labour party the greens together with human rights activists law experts and musicians including Kutcha Edwards, Ground Components and Darren Hanlon as well as children's' entertainment.
all monies gathered will go directly and equally to the families of the 9 young Australians held in the Bali prison. the event will be recorded and filmed/photographed. its is the first of an ongoing campaign - for AS LONG AS IT TAKES." ]]> http://www.minti.com/members/chrysalis/blog/192620/ http://www.minti.com/members/chrysalis/blog/192620/ Wed, 17 Jan 2007 12:15:04 -0800 Hi Everyone Chrysalis Been away for a little holiday - by the beach with the whole family.

Ive always believed in Shapelle and sobbed my heart out when I watched the footage of her verdict. The book reminded me of all that pain and trauma and that she is still trapped in a filthy jail far from home. Anyone remember Bankok Hilton with Nicole Kidman? That movie horrified ...
Anyone remember Bankok Hilton with Nicole Kidman? That movie horrified me - I had no idea, but this is what Shapelle lives and faces for the next 20 years. I believe she is innocent but even if she was guilty it is a horrendous and disproportionate punishment.

If someone did try and bring over 4 kilo of dope into Bali they would have to be unbelieveably stupid to have it in a big plastic bag in an unlocked boogie board bag. Anyone seeing Shapelle speak at her trial could see she is not an idiot, she is articulate and intelligent, a gentle sweet girl next door type.
Ive had it suggested to me that she is just a clever actress??? What on earth could she have hoped to achieve - international stardom? Oh yes very useful when you happen to be locked up in prison - not forgetting that in Bali drug trafficking carries the death penalty.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Shapelle and her family- May she be released soon and may they have the chance to rebuild their lives in peace.

The kids finished on the 15th - but I was in melbourne on the 13th and 14th and had a friend stay for two days before that - so its just been busy- but lots of fun!!!!!!!!!!

KYLIE WAS FANTASTIC!
OMG- IT WAS sosososososoosososososoo BRILLLLLLIANT!
We were right down on the floor and as we were int he front section we got to go right up to the stage- all the front section people left their seats. It was fabulous I danced NON-STOP for 2 hours!!!!

Kylie looked beautiful and it was a very emotional and highly charged experience.

For those who are wondering- I wore black jeans and a black shiny top- with a big glittery pendant necklace ;-)
Will prob not be on much for the next couple of weeks either as with christmas and then visiting family etc I dont expect to get online much- looking forward to Minti in 2007!!!!!!]]> http://www.minti.com/members/chrysalis/blog/192615/ http://www.minti.com/members/chrysalis/blog/192615/ Sat, 23 Dec 2006 16:11:00 -0800 its been so hot!

Next is DD sleeping after her huge party - the last guest left 24 hours after the party started...she sat down to do her homework (! yes..yes...i know! ) and promplty fell asleep for 4 hours- slept through her favourite dinner too *grin*

Then a detail of the boys bedroom wall that ive recently been working on (many many more animals to complete still!)

And finally- just to send everyone in to hysterics.
Thats me- looking worse than i could have imagined. That is the morning AFTER the great big party...... I had had virtually no sleep. I opened my eyes and felt like id been hit by a truck - so I took a pic. I look all puffy and cross. It scared me too ;-)

I received an email this afternoon asking for ideas for the new anti whaling campaign. 945 whales will die if we dont speak up.
If you are passionate about these beautiful animals, as I am, then please help
you can post your own ideas or just vote on the ones already there. (look in 'gallery' the link is at the top of the page)
I am listed under 'chrysaliskey'  whales.greenpeace.org/global

My idea is very simple and humble *smile* but the idea just popped into my head (just attention grabbing t-shirts) as I was reading the email so i went ahead and drew the designs and posted on the site. I didnt develop my idea - the drawings are rough draft and the slogans need work- but I just wanted to get them up there- i will tidy them later.
Please vote for the idea and leave a comment on the website- if you like my thoughts. there are other super ideas on there - so please have a look.
With Love. x

1) Harpoon rope in a circle- harpoon through whale (making the 'no' symbol
"I KNOW you see me  -HELP me"

2) Whale holding fake breasts to her chest
" No- I dont have breasts  I dont have a voice either  But YOU do  Save me!"
or
"It took breasts to get your attention  It will only take your voice to help me "

50 guests partied with her in the double garage and adjoining carport which we had cleared and decorated for the occasion.

We chased the last of the boys at about 12.30am and the 13 girls who were staying the night made themselves a massive nest of mattresses airbeds and blankets and settled down to giggle the night away ;-)

The last two guests finally left about half an hour ago at 4pm (sunday) - a full 24 hours after the first ones arrived at 4pm on Saturday!

Relieved to be on the other side of it but delighted that it all went so smoothly- YAY!
