This did nake me chortle, butt (pardon the punn, not!) Not going to post the video that I have as evidence, however, my vocal contribution, (aside, to another female) whilst videoing the stage is thus: "Did you just touch my ARSE?  I'm not gay!"

I've got male and female gay friends, but let's just be clear on the matter - 

To me, the rainbow (colours) represent hope.

In this, particularly recent, troubled time of conflict and territory pride on earth -

Here's to:

Women's World Cup Blog By Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

Good Luck Lionesses!

Go On Girls!

As the first women's World Cup Finals match dawns I feel impelled to celebrate and support our nation's achievement with thus good wishes!

As part of this I would like to share my fitness evidence pics..

Before And After

Earlier on this year I decided whilst training on soft turf, that is so much kinder on the knee and hip joints to purchase these, cheap and cheerful, footie boots that support my feet more as well.

See here for my video also:

Film Review: Barbie Blog By Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

 Barbie The Movie is a real feel good movie.

And, my Barbie, pictured here, the original Barbie, well she thinks it is wonderful also, naturally!

Intrigued as to why the film would be banned, as it says in the media (in a few middle Eastern countries), I decided to partake of the Barbie journey, watch the movie for myself and in true Barbie style make my own mind up so to speak.

However, as you can see I have always loved my Barbie, and never gave her up, going to watch an apparently hyped up storyline on the said theme seemed to be another kettle of fish.

Nevertheless, with an open mind and my Barbie on hand to contribute an informed opinion, ahem, I "ken" safely say I never needed to be converted! Pun intended!

[Thus said, having been fortunate enough to visit a few middle Eastern countries both on holiday and religious exploration, dare I say, possible pilgrimage invitation, before now, I have always experienced a most polite and friendly reception wherever this has occurred.]


Long live Barbie and what she always stands for!

A Blog Regarding the recent untimely passing of Sinead O'Connor By Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

I am very saddened to recently hear of the passing of the protest Singer/Artist Sinead O'Connor, God rest her soul and may she find her eternal peace in the heart of her God as there is only one God and Messengers etc. of God all shine from the same lamp.

See here for my blog I originally wrote including a video featuring and with her kind permission, Sinead O'Connor's music:-

http://handeldoesit.blogspot.com/2020/08/sophie-cox-oshaughnessy-for-my-son.html

Here is my video for my son, as mentioned, in this said blog:-

** https://youtu.be/ft3jWh0wqMw **

I am so grateful for all she was and stood for.

I am so sad that she did not get the support and or recognition that she deserved in her living years.

** I am so thankful that she granted me permission to utilise one of her tracks in a video I created including a dedication to my son.**

*

*

I am so sorry for all the suffering that she persevered.  I could relate, however to be tested beyond endurance is the severest of tests.  Thank God for Artists such as Sinead O'Connor.

////And, know this, my son, Jerome, this video (reaching out to you), still stands.////

I am about to move on, because of a Section 21. - the after life is similar to the state of pregnancy - the child in the womb grows and is yet to be born. Travel on On your spiritual journey Sinead! 

Sinead O'Connor made a difference!

This is something I always aspire to achieve.

Thank You Sinead O'Connor, through ganting me your permission to use your music to support my cause as a mother, though more than this for helping me handle grief, that, through no fault of one's own, is as a result of parental alienation.

In her own, lyrical, words:

"Thank you for helping me!"




πŸ•Š️rest in peace great warrior Sinead O'ConnorπŸ•Š️
