It’s a Friday morning and I’ve just driven 1.5 hours to follow a sandy beach track through ferns and scrub (no snakes thank god), to find the most perfect piece of damp sand to sit my cold butt on. There is not a soul in sight, just me and Fossil Beach having a quiet moment… Continue reading Effortless Effort
Own Laneing
When I typed the title of this blog piece, I observed my phones autocorrect almost get irritated with me as it repeatedly squiggled in red that ‘laneing’ is not a word! Who said huh? Hear me out and you can decide for yourself. One afternoon last week, I sat in my car practicing mindful breathing… Continue reading Own Laneing
Slightly Backwards
This one time, in Queensland, I sat perched at a round wooden table with 2 close girlfriends sitting beside me. We had that post beach sunscreen scent going on, sandy feet and beach hair that looks great for the first few hours- until the heat really settles in. We sat there, bright eyed yet containing… Continue reading Slightly Backwards
The Sum of Us
It’s around 8:52am on a Wednesday morning. I’m quietly sitting in my 'cosy corner' nook at home with a fresh bowl of 3 cereals- combined. Oats- cause I know their good for me and sustain energy for long periods of time Bran- cause blan bran adds to the delicious crunch factor Freedom Gluten free rice… Continue reading The Sum of Us
Life’s Lip Balm
The weekend comes and often that’s our permission slip to allow some Fun and Joy into our ‘HECTIC’ (fav new age word) schedules. Maybe we make social plans with friends, get out in nature, attend kids parties, binge on Netflix, wine and dine, date, renovate, adventure somewhere? Or maybe we don’t?! Maybe life’s ‘hectic'ness’ has… Continue reading Life’s Lip Balm
Half assed….
Within the four walls of the spare bedroom at my parents home, lives a painting I started in 2014 whilst living in the Sunshine State- aka 'Brisvegas'. I started it alongside my German soul sister whilst we sat at my kitchen table listening to Xavier Rudd. I can’t be sure of what song was playing-… Continue reading Half assed….
A cup of tea on the porch…
Recently, I had my family over for a dinner party. My Mum, Dad, Aunty, Sister, Brother in law and their 2 Rug Rats were all attending. It was my first dinner party in my new home and I’ll be honest- I think it’s the first dinner party I've hosted for my family...ever! The build up was… Continue reading A cup of tea on the porch…
That smile…
It’s happened before, many times actually. When I would watch the sun come up or go down over Fisherman’s beach in Mornington. When I approached a large mountain I had to walk up in the middle of the Spanish hills on my Camino. It happened frequently when I held my precious nieces and nephews in… Continue reading That smile…
True story….
In 2010 I was on a flight from Vietnam to Thailand. As I buckled into my budget Air Asia seat, I was ready to embrace the unknown adventure that awaited me at Chiang Mai airport. Whilst I sat in my seat 'hoping' my big orange backpack was on the same flight, I enjoyed the lightness… Continue reading True story….
SA • The Festival State
Apart from the obvious, that when one leaves their familiar routine, heads off on a plane for 70 minutes and arrives to meet their bestie in the lower middle part of the country to attend a Festival during Mad March, good times are GUARANTEED!!! But, there were a lot of small things that made my… Continue reading SA • The Festival State
