Why wait?
Ok, so we’re alive. I’m writing this, you’re reading it, we’re thinking, breathing, drinking hot chocolate, we’re very much alive, so why wait?
Read MoreAussie life is totally awesome, but…
There’s always a ‘but’ right. When life is good and great things are happening, when luck is on your side and things are working out, there’s always a ‘but’, and mine has arrived.

There are two ways you can choose to live your life. You can sail along letting things play out without your control, reacting to whatever life throws at you, adapting to your surroundings and letting fate play its part, or you can choose to own it.

Followers of this blog will know that there’s been some big changes over the last few months. I moaned and groaned about my job for so long on here (apologies!) that last March we decided to do something about it and applied for the Australian Visa. Fast forward 10 months and life is great, we’re […]
Read MoreTech, or Talk?
With so much crazy technology these days, AI, VR, autonomous cars, drones, robot vacuum cleaners, the way we work and the way we live is changing fast, and I don’t know about you, but I’m getting nervous!
Read MoreWorking girl
Always being a career girl, then making the decision to quit the day job back in August, I’ve really enjoyed officially setting myself up as a ‘Freelance Marketing Specialist’ (love a good title!), having done it on the side of the paid job for a long time, but now that it’s my only source of […]
Read MoreBe great – be grateful: #1
I’m definitely a grateful person. I say my thank you’s when they’re due but more so, I’m grateful for all the things around me, my family, my friends, my life and this beach!
Read MoreForever young
Funny how your life choices alter with age. When you’re young you want to be older, and when you’re older you want to be young. But age is the one thing we cannot stop happening, although where growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
Read MoreNew year, no limits
Moving to the other side of the world is something we always spoke of doing, something that was always on the living bucket list, that we’d wanted to do for quite some time, and 2018 saw that dream come true. Blue sky, sandy beaches, ocean waves but also, more opportunity to live and dream.
Read MoreLearning to live, again
Can you really change? At almost 40, pretty set in your ways, done the same things the same way for forever, can you really hit the reset button on yourself and start over? It appears so.
Read MoreAre we there yet?
We all ask ourselves questions. Am I a good parent? Should I be doing more to help others? Should I be reconnecting with family and friends I’ve lost touch with? Should I be spending more time with the children? Am I enough?
Read MoreTick tock
When we were young time didn’t really go fast. Maybe because we didn’t have anywhere to be, no one was waiting on us and we didn’t clock watch and wonder how long we had left. Nowadays, I think of it often.
Read MoreRight here, right now
We live in an era of disturbance, of interference, of distraction yet our futures will be determined by the amount of attention we pay to the present. Lots of things have changed for me lately, some big moves have been made for sure and I’m looking ahead to the future, but should I be?
Read MoreEverything that remains
So it’s here. My last day of employment and the start of the exciting laptop-living freelance life. But as I sit here alone at 8.30am on my last day in the office, I can’t help to think what I’m leaving behind.
Read MoreBe your own Architect
There are so many life clichés – Life is short | Live for today, not for tomorrow | Live every day like it’s your last | Dream like you’ll live forever, live like you’ll die today… But they are cliché for a reason, because they are true.
Read MoreSuddenly I see
We all change right? Maybe as a result of something happening in our lives, something negative or positive, something in our control or out of it, but for me, it’s ultimately an age thing.
Read MoreLesson’s learned, outside the classroom
So last week social media was a flood with images of children’s school reports, news on how well kids had done in their exams, what level they finished the year at, which is all lovely to see, but I’ll be honest, for my two, I mostly skipped all that.
