Wanderlust

I’m 42 now (26 if anyone asks), and I’m in a point in my life where I’m happy. Just started a new job, which is challenging but which I’m enjoying. Kids are happy, hubby is happy, life is good, but I am always experiencing wanderlust.

That moment when…

September 27, 2020.Reading time 10 minutes.

Tomorrow isn’t promised, we know that. We’ve read enough quotes and fridge magnets to remind us that we have to live like it’s our last day. The days go quick, the weeks are long and the years short, and it’s true what they say, life really does go by in the blink of an eye. […]

Self healing

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 […]

Working 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 […]

New year, no limits

December 29, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

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.

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.

Suddenly 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.

Positives, promises and smiles

February 18, 2018.Reading time 8 minutes.

So work has been a little pants of late, no change to the status quo there, and Friday, I decided enough is enough. I do my job, and I do it very well, but could I do more if the shackles came off and the company allowed me to work my magic and make them […]

The search for passion

September 11, 2017.Reading time 8 minutes.

You know when that one ‘spam’ email lands in your inbox, that hasn’t been caught by the filter? The one that comes from a person’s full name which you don’t recognise and fear it’s either a stalker, or more likely, a virus?

End of the world?

September 4, 2017.Reading time 6 minutes.

Reminiscing back to 2012, finding my own little piece of the internet with a brand new Facebook page, it was great to re-connect with school friends and old colleagues alike, ones I’d not seen or spoke to for quite some time.
