News & Photos

-
Whilst pondering what I would write about next on Life, Love & the Everyday, I just thought I would share my wonderful *cough cough* photography skills with you!
Because I was just a tad bored this morning, I decided to do some photography featuring plants with textile backgrounds.
Since I am here, I will bring you up to speed with a few things!

1. 12 Week Challenge is over in two days! Halle-frickin-ulah!
I did learn a lot about myself though. First and most essentially, I cannot live without chocolate!
Also, I have noticed I no longer feel obligated to stuff my face to the point of nauseousness.
Lastly, exercise is very important even if I don't feel like doing it - I was surprised how I always seemed to have enough energy to expend on that forty minutes.

2. Baby blues are no longer at the forefront of my mind. In fact, they are not there at all!
As soon as it is appropriate, I will tell you why! :P

3. I am obsessed with Autumn right now! I feel especially that this season will bring about big changes in my life and A's. This could probably explain why I am taking lots of pictures of plants, flowers and trees.

4. I am jet-setting next week to Fiji on my first mission trip with one of my best friends, Ally and I cannot wait to share what we are going to be doing with you!

Until then,

M'Bulla!

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
