Awesome News!

Blog Monsters!

Remember yesterday when I said that I wanted to find work before studying?
A few blogs ago I mentioned something about registering with a childcare relief agency but the only glitch was waiting on my Blue Card?
It's crazy! My Blue Card came in last week and then BAM! I heard from the company asking me if I was still interested in working with them - naturally, the answer was YES!
So now I have my Blue Card, a job which will hopefully produce a steady cash-flow and this morning I enrolled into a childcare diploma course online!
Who would have thought that enrolling into a course would make me snap into cleaning mode? Then again, I'm not surprised - I used to be incredibly messy and disorganised before I studied my certificate III in Children's Services and within one week, BOOM!
I was tidy and more organised.

Any how, I just wanted to share my great news and I hope you are all having a great week!
Before I leave you to your devices, agendas and innermost musings, here is a quote by Danny Kaye:

LIFE IS A BIG CANVAS, THROW ALL THE PAINT ON IT YOU CAN. 

Stay awesome!

Cafe Metz, Canungra

My Mum hails from a farming district called Kin-Kin and being a country girl who came to live in the big ol' city, has a yen for scenic drives to a place where she can see blue sky the color of forget-me-not's and you can inhale the fresh air mingled with flowers (and every so often, manure). Every now and then, A. and I receive a spontaneous invitation for a country drive.  Our favorite place is Mount Tamborine, but last Monday we headed to Canungra on the Gold Coast, approximately forty minutes drive from Brisbane. I ooh'd and ahh'd as we drove past horses grazing in lushly green paddocks beneath rolling cloudy skies.  Canungra is a small country town which is quiet during the week and abuzz during the weekends.  The moment I climbed out of Dad's Triton I took a deep breath of the cool, fresh air and turned to A.  "A. Tell me why we don't live here."  With a dead-pan expression, he replies. "Because we don't have a car.&quo

The Dreamer

-
A couple of weeks ago, I got a tad melancholy. I get that way sometimes because I overthink things. In this case I was thinking about the things I have wanted to do but haven't done. When I was 17 I had alot of naive optimism that life would go exactly the way I planned it. Get a steady job, marry the man of my dreams by 25, have my first kid at the age of 26 (because that's what my Mum did,) be a housewife and a successful author - oh yes, my life looked trim and tidy as a garden hedge.  Then real life happend.   It's been beautiful, ugly, calm and crazy. There are days when I want to be apart of it and days that I'd rather hide in the safety of what is familiar and comfortable.  But I'm glad that its been this way because it has made me stronger, wiser and more resilient than the 17 year old me was. If 29 years of being alive has taught me anything, its that life is happening while you're living it. I married a very wise man, because when I t

Inspiration and Hope

It has been a looooong time since I have written anything here, most of the writing I am doing these days is for my books. I have released my third novel and have started writing submission emails to book stores asking if they would like to order a few copies. Sometimes I get radio silence, other times I get a polite decline and best wishes and every now and then, I get a yes and in those moments it feels like I am living the dream. One of my biggest challenges as an indie writer is not letting fear, doubt or anxiety get the better of me. There are times when I run a horror movie in my head which begins and ends with boxes of unsold books in my living room and then I remind myself that I do not like horror movies and I'm tuning into something more hopeful and uplifting. But most of all,I think about how I want the right people to find my books and fall in love with the plots and charaters, that the universe is taking care of when, where, how and why. Inspiration to write has b
