    Why I call My Mother Mama Me? When I was born, I heard my sisters, brothers and everyone calling our mother “Mama Me”. We knew most other people calling their mother mama. But this was not to be with our mother. Here’s why? We would ask Mama Me, where are you going? She would say, “To see the turtle take some water.” Who else would say this? And what does this mean?

She has just recorded her first hit single, named "Hit Me Baby One More Time".

    I knew the groom-to-be, but I didn’t know his fiancé very well. I thought her name was Missy. Missy sounded familiar, so that is the name I put on the card. To Paul and Missy. The crowd had gathered for the bridal shower and the smiling couple began opening their long line of gifts. They started at the far end of the table, opposite of where I had placed mine.

    The women in Goblin Market are either portrayed as ‘passive’ or ‘active’. However, Lizzie who is portrayed as virtuous is not necessarily ‘passive’ as her character develops and becomes ‘active’.

During this attack Lizzie realises that she and

    Forever Grateful We all have those in our lives whom have influenced us in one way or another. Sometime that influence is grand and life changing, or it can be minute and indiscernible. Influences can be unnoticed and have strong effects, or can eclipse all else and be quickly forgotten. My greatest influence was none of these and all of them at the same time. The greatest dynamic influence in my life, the person who had the greatest impact on who I was, and who I would grow to be was my mother
