5/8/2019 0 Comments The Road Less TravelledWaking up to a large, flock of cockatoos squawking and chatting amongst themselves whilst the songs of numerous other birds flood the dawn air is my ideal alarm wake up.
We have been on the road for 6 weeks now, no obligations, no regard of time. The sun rises and begins her journey across the sky. The day holds beauty and adventure. The sun sets and the night eases in embracing the earth with its myriad of stars. The imagination is awake and fills me up with dreams and fresh ideas full of hope and peace. Sleep is deep in the silence with the fire light outside the tent flickering into soft, warm embers. The more remote we can get in this magnificent land of Australia the more deeply and profoundly we love it. The colour palette of nature unfolds each day, always changing hues. New colours are created each day that can never be replicated by man. Most of our journey has been in the top north west corner and the middle. My soul craves the clear, night skies, the distant horizons and magical sunsets. The ancient ancestors of the land whispering in every rock, tree, animal, river. The hidden gorges and desert oasis a pure joy for the senses. The vibrant red of the land meeting the the endless blue of the sky. I feel at home, safe, nature cradles me in it's ancient wisdom. Untouched by the ravage of society, untamed and unchanged for millions of years. I am part of everything and it is part of me. I am insignificant yet important. Time does not exist it is an illusion created by modern man to increase stress and productivity. Letting go, synchronicity abounds. I am in the right place, I am a child of Mother Earth.

12/31/2018 0 Comments A fresh New yearHappy New year! 2019 and life just continues to improve.
I said ‘goodbye’ to last year full of appreciation by taking a bush walk up a mountain with my best animal friend, (Sheeba the dog) to watch the sunset. Sheeba and I said ‘hello’ to the NY at dawn on a deserted beach with lots of swimming and playing. I keep seeing posts on social media about everyone happy to see the end of 2018? Not to rub it in anyone’s face, but 2018 was an amazing year for me full of love, laughs, travel, learning, creating and adventure. I am not saying that there are no bumps along the road, of course there is, that is life. I guess I just don’t allow anything to bring me down. This is a skill I have been working on for years. Learn from the mishaps and tradgedies, look at things in a positive way, see the humour in everything. This is where I use the beauty of nature to keep my soul and mind in a safe space. Bugger living in a big city again with all that busy, chaotic, ego energy. We are all here on a journey, just taking different paths. Your attitude is everything. Be generous, accepting and grateful, with others but also yourself. Enough with the cliches you have heard it all before, easier said than done I hear you think. Not really, just make a decision, you are in control of your own mind. What you choose to do, think, feed yourself. Every choice is yours. Life is supposed to be happy and fun, and no matter what situation you find yourself in, you must find your joys or you will be eaten up by anxiety, stress and negativity. This year I have some big goals. We are moving to the other side of Australia. Lots to do and plan before that. We have been in WA for 6 years, and it will be so sad to leave this land that I am absolutely in love with but the excitement of an adventure and reconnecting with old friends and new unexplored places is the focus. All will work out as it is meant to. Last year my partner and I started focusing on keeping our giving banks full. This year I want to continue this focus and give everyday. Even if it is just a simple compliment or smile to a stranger who looks like they need a lift. Give and never expect anything in return. It makes the heart sing! I am going to face my doubts and become a marketing weapon. I am going to take this business to the heights I dreamed about 2 years ago. Rejection will not phase me or allow me to second guess myself. I am not inferior to any body else. Stay tuned....... 10/18/2018 0 Comments Happiness...We are lucky to live in a remote part of Australia and have the flexibility in our jobs to travel and explore this amazing country quite often. Happiness is finding myself in places that I never see another human, surrounded by nature, peace, animals, beauty and fresh air. No electro magnetic energy, no problems or pollution.
I am grateful for my peaceful life the choices I made, adventures I have had and the people and animals I have met along my path to lead me to where I am today. We have just returned from an adventure into The Kimberley and have been inspired by fresh new ideas and direction. One of my favourite places on earth. I always leave there feeling rejuvenated and refreshed full of joy and motivation to keep moving forward..... so much to learn and experience in this life. Even as I sit here to write my first blog post I feel hesitant. It is completely natural to create doubt in your self, ideas and ability. However, what I have realised is that if you do not put your ideas to action nothing will happen and it will remain in your head forever as a 'what if' question.
I have been gradually developing this bedding idea over the past two years. The website was my continued avenue of frustration. I have never been an expert with tech, simply getting by with the basic understanding of using a computer for my day to day tasks. I felt it was an important step for me to take this challenge and create our website. So.... i sat down numerous times and attempted to work this web building thing out. You know what, I did it! Mind you I did put it off for a year, always thinking, you should sit down and work on your web site. Amazing how many other jobs you find to fill in time. For me the business could not grow from market stalls and local interest until I had a professional page to showcase our product to other retail outlets around Australia. I was sabotaging moving forward. Am I scared of success? Do I hold fear that I could actually make this work? Fingers crossed it does grow and develop into my manifestation. Take action everyday to create your goals, even if it is a small movement towards them. Achievements do not happen by sitting around thinking or waiting for someone to do it for you. Take hold on the reigns of your life and have a go...... |
