Today was a success.

I know that I am struggling, I know that it is hard to watch people moving on. But I feel that I am heading in the right direction. One day at a time.

[tazmonty]

So, I am trying hard to keep it together today. I am focusing on keeping my mouth shut. It’s hard, I am a serial bitcher, esp about C. I need to keep a grip on my mind. So I found a passage about gossiping. I made a picture, and I am trying. It’s going better than I thought, but not perfect. But hey baby steps. It’s a life long issue, speaking and talking and just not shutting up.

31 dec 2023 - Time to Let shit go

Is been 4 years since we split. We see each other every day, we still have to work together, and we have the kids. But he’s been ditching his kids, for a new lady friend. I am not worried about hm having a lady friend. i am concerned he’s acting like a love sick puppy who’s love bombing a women who’s falling harder then a 2 tonne rock down the range.

I have made some changes in my life this past year. I started getting back into Tarot, and alternate religions. But they did not feel right. I have always had faith in things,, but never sure what that faith was. I looked in depth into Hoodoo, Celtic Druidism, Shamanism, the Golden Dawn .. But i was not happy. mind you i did enjoy making my first Voodoo doll. Pity it did not work. :P

My sister tried to get me back to the church. she is Catholic, i was baptised but not confirmed. my brother is an elder in the Mormon church. I did like being the one that messed with their heads by leaving Witch guide books, crystals and tarot decks around when they visited.

i had a dream, I was lost, and in my head Amazing grace kept playing. My sister is a very wise woman, and I value her advice and her thoughts. We had a number of chats, and I decided to visit a local Catholic church, i had questions.

So in the last 3 months I have come to the decision that i do belong in the Catholic church. I was welcomed, and I was made to feel like it was home. Now I know that A lot of this had to do with the Father i spoke to, the locals in the church and the Adorable nuns that sat with me at times.

I got my confirmation, did my first communion and started to work on me. i was always a 2 handed worker, every action had an equal and opposite reaction (not the 3 fold law) believe that there is good and bad in the world, dark and light, just like in nature.

It seemed so odd that bible was still so relevant. Some stuff like keeping my hair long, was a little dated, But i have read a lot of self help books, and it was funny to see a lot of those theories and ideas mentioned in the bible.

i am in a long road to. Fix myself. I need to let a lot of stuff go. i also need to focus on me and enforce some boundaries. I have two kids that i need to focus on. I have a businesss too focus on. i can not be wasting my life worried about a man who broke my heart. Who lied, cheated and attempted to make me feel less then i am. I am stronger than that. i am stronger than most people give me credit for.

its a long road to recovery. But i feel I am in the right space for it. For the first time in my life, I feel i have a family that will support me, not knock me down. Here’s to 2024. I hope to th heavens its a better year then the last few years have been.

Anyone know it its PLAIN or self raising Flour?? guessing plain .. and I can do the conversion for Celsius :P

[tazmonty]

THIS - is also something that people need to learn. we spend so much time trying to be the right type of person we are expected to be, we allow these things that make us uncomfortable to keep happening. I taught my children to say stop, if I tickled them to much, or they were embarrassed. Teach kids to respect other people boundaries. DONT let them give in

All Aussie Mystry Hour Did an amazing funny podcast to this

I really want Buzzfeed Unsolved to cover the disappearance of Harold Holt, the Australian Prime Minister who went swimming and was never seen again. The list of theories would drive Shane insane.

GOLD medal standard of police work and for the parents to never give up. Find peace and help others learn from what happened to you.

Daniel Morcombe

only gonna do this once bc i don't see many Australian cases on here.

This was Daniel James Morcombe. He was born one the 19th of December 1989, and he abducted and later died on the 7th of December 2003. He was 13 when he disappeared.

Daniel was abducted from an unofficial bus stop under the Keil Mountain Road overpass in the Woombye district of the Sunshine Cost, which was 2 kilometres or 1.2 mi north of a Big Pineapple on Sunday the 7th of December 2003. Morcombe planned to catch a bus that arrived at 1:34pm, to the Sunshine Plaza shopping centre for a haircut and to buy Christmas Gifts for his family, but he never came back.

There were witnesses that reported seeing Morcombe at around 2:10pm on the Nambour Connection Road under Keil Mountain Road overpass. The bus Daniel was meant to catch had broke down a few kilometres before he's stop, and ended up behind schedule, this meant that a replacement bus came to his stop and even though Daniel indicated he wanted the bus to stop, it kept going due to the fact that he's stop was only an unofficial bus stop and that it was delayed as well. The bus driver had radioed the depot and told another bus to go pick Daniel up but by the time the bus got there, Daniel was nowhere to be seen. Later it was reported that the bus driver and other witness saw a man standing behind a distance behind Morcombe and another man slightly further away at the time. When the second bus arrived three minutes later, Daniel and the man were nowhere to be seen.

The abduction and death of Daniel James Morcombe ended up being one of the most extensively investigated crimes Queensland history at the time. As of December the 12th, 2008, a total reward of A$1,000,000 ($250,000 from the Government and another $750,000 donated privately) had been offered. The privately donated portion of the reward expired at midnight on 31 May 2009. On this day, the Seven Network reported that a known paedophile (identified by the media as Douglas Jackway) could be of interest to the police. Jackway had been released from prison in 2003, one month before Morcombe's disappearance.

By early 2009, the investigation seemingly ran out of leads, but in May a full-size clay model of the man believed to be involved with the young boys disappearance and was placed at the spot where Daniel had disappeared. Within a few days there was mire than 300 tip-offs. In June 2009, the Queensland government came under criticism from Parliament over the release of Jackway from prison. One MP claimed the Supreme Court had presented clear evidence of his risk of reoffending. This publicity also prompted civil liberties groups to call for laws banning media outlets from naming people linked to criminal cases. In July 2009, the parents of Morcombe called for a coronial inquest in the hope of finding answers to their son's abduction and murder.

The Morcombes said that after 5½ years, it was time for an inquest. Of particular interest to the family were several criminals who had told police they knew who killed Morcombe and where his body was buried. A coronial inquest was held beginning in October 2010 and concluding in April 2011. The inquest called as witnesses the bus driver who had failed to stop for Daniel Morcombe at the Kiel Overpass location where he was waiting, a woman who had seen a man loitering near Daniel Morcombe, and several persons of interest.

On the 13th of August 2011, after an extensive Undercover Police Operation, Brad Peter Cowan was taken into custody and charged Daniels murder and other offences such as child stealing, deprivation of liberty, indecent treatment of a child under 16, and interfering with a corpse after having led undercover detectives to the site of Daniel’s remains. 

In 2006, Cowan was interviewed over the disappearance and had admitted to practice police that he had indeed traveled the same road that Daniel had disappeared from. He was on the same road that day because he was going to purchase Marijuana from his drug dealer. He had also confessed to having seen and approached Daniel to offer him a lift to the shopping Centre, having parked his car in a nearby carpark of the church he attended. Around this time, a white Mitsubishi Pajero was seized from a property on Russell Island. The vehicle was believed to have been involved in Morcombe's abduction after a witness at the coronial inquest in April 2011 reported seeing a vehicle of similar description parked 100 metres (330 ft) north of the site where Morcombe was last seen.

On the 21st of August 2011, two shoes and three human bones were found at a search site at Glass House Mountains. Forensic testing confirmed that the remains were Daniel Morcombe's. The shoes were similar to the ones that Morcombe was wearing when he disappeared. Underpants and a belt were also found. However, Morcombe also owned a distinctive fob style pocket watch with "dan" engraved on it, which has not been found.  By the end of the investigation, seventeen bones had been found, including a rib, hip, leg, arm and vertebrae. They were all confirmed as belonging to Morcombe using DNA from his toothbrush to make the match. As a result of the find, Morcombe's funeral was held at Siana Catholic Collage Siena on 7 December 2012. More than 2000 people attended it.

Later it was revealed that Daniel had been murdered almost certainly within the hour of his abduction.

Rest in Peace, Daniel Morcombe. you would of been 31 or 32 this year.

» The Daniel Morcombe Foundation «

The Morcombe family started the "Daniel Morcombe Foundation", and put its resources into keeping Morcombe's disappearance in the public eye and trying to find out what happened to their son. The foundation is committed to educating children about personal safety and to raising awareness throughout Australia of the dangers of predatory criminals. These efforts are supported by the Australian media, especially on each anniversary of Morcombe's disappearance when a "Day for Daniel" is held to promote awareness of the vulnerability of children. An accompanying event is the "Ride for Daniel", which covers 50 km of the Sunshine Coast, held each year since 2005

Im so sorry this is long but i haven't seen this, and i just wanted to share it

[tazmonty]

So, it’s amazing how people feel the need to put me down. To tell me I am in the wrong. You stuffed up, I am trying to take the high road, but you are making it hard. All I want to do is tell the truth h, bring a high level of pain down on you like you did me.

You may never do it again, but that doesn’t mean you did not do it. I have a right to voice my side without judgement.

My choices are mine. I don’t have to consider your feelings. But I will consider your family, our children.
