If you could choose one word to describe how you’d like to live your life this year what would it be? Would it be confident, focused, brave, balanced or something completely different? It didn’t take me long to figure out mine. In fact, after my last post about Stepping into the Unknown it was obvious. … More Open in 2019
Have you ever visited a place that invokes all your senses? Where, as soon as you arrive, you feel instantly at one with nature? One of my all time favorite camping spots, about six hours north of Melbourne, is the aptly named Pink Lakes in the Murray Sunset National Park. It’s one of those … More A Sensory Journey through the Pink Lakes
I’m the one that gets your heart racing, I’m the one that makes your body tingle, I’m the one that consumes you at night, I’m the one that gets inside your head, I’m the one constantly beside you in bed.

I was feeling tired and unmotivated and literally had to drag myself into the lesson. Sometimes that’s how I feel … More Doing the Snoopy Dance
“So bye bye Miss American Pie …” Wow, how many times have I played that in my life? Probably just as many times as “Always look on the bright side of life …” I’ve always loved music and when I was 13 I got my first guitar. It was a pretty good one too and I … More Just strumming along
