shhh

Place: My Office

Poison: Diet Coke

Favourite Things: My love package from Kymmie Rolle from her world trip!

I found a website today from someone who I have a connection with from capture and this is a quote that I found on this website which totally sums up my thoughts at the moment…

Karen Beacon : Behind all creation is silence. Silence is the essential condition, the vital ingredient for all creation and all that is created. It is a power in its own right. The artist starts with a blank canvas-silence. The composer places it between and behind the notes. The very ground of your being, out of which comes all your thoughts, is silence. The way to silence is through meditation. When you arrive in your own silence, you will know true freedom and real power. Stop, take a minute, and listen to the silence within you today. Then be aware of what disturbs you inner silence. It could be negative thought, memories or sensations. And when you are aware, you will know what is draining your creative power, and you will know what needs to change….on the inside.
Nice.

NOISE

Place: My Office

Poison:Water

Favourite Things:Jane Austen 

Noise, noise, noise! Surrounded by so much noise. My lack of Blogging lately has been due to a time of just taking life a little bit easier and allowing the urgent not to become the important and allowing my speed of life to lessen slightly.

We had a chat with a group of friends last night about the ability to still ourselves and turn off the bombardment of noise that surrounds our everyday.

Words, music, life, love, visual media- NOISE, NOISE, NOISE. Our world is so noisy and so bold, brash and confronting.

I am wanting to soften the noise level of my life and spend more couch time. Not letting myself out of the race that I am purposed to run, but just shifting the gear into 5 for a while and allowing the couch to minister to me!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

anzac lovin

Place: Melbourne

Poison: Water

Favourite Things: Wasabi peas

Today we spent the day on the streets of metro melbourne and the anzac day parade honestly brought tears to my eyes. We have no idea the sacrifice that the generation of my grandma and granpa made as they fought for the freedom that we enjoy today.

leadership summit

Place: Qantas Club

Poison: White Chardonney

Favourite Things: $10 shoes…

I have spent the last couple of days with Event Managers, Producers and Tech Directors of the Global Leadership Summit. It has been really inspiring.

For some reason I have been more homesick than normal and am hanging to be in beautiful Perth, some time very soon. The inspiration of a group of people who think beyond themselves and live to create events that inspire others is a constant form of inspiration for me.

Leadership is all about living a life of influence, and unfortunately today it is the leaders who are the loudest who are often noticed. To watch and meet mothers, brothers, sisters and lovers who lay down their lives for something bigger than themselves and their own pursuits is so breathtaking.

Everyday life is was shapes leaders, not the upfront opportunities to shine. So here’s a toast to a group of 30 people, who have the potential to shape 5,000 lives.

Go hard or Go home, Live large!

All my love

surprised

Place: Qantas Club

Poison: Berocca

Favourite Things: Bircher Museli
Last night we had a great party for Bryce, the amazing Green, saying farewell for a while but not forever and in the midst of the party atmosphere a felony occured.

1) Someone unknown went in my bedroom!

2) They commited a henious and intriguing crime.

A large fluffy teddy bear was taken from its normal surroundings, its home, from people who care for Him or Her the most and placed in my room.

My room is not a teddy bear friendly environment and CSI north perth began. We interviewed all the house guests and no-one owned up to this crime.

After much introspect and assumption, me and my crime fighting buddies have not been able to solve the crime.

So if you have any information please call crime stoppers on 1800AMANDACANTHANDLESURPRISES! or email via the email below…

It brings out my OCD…

(Sorry about the comments also, I had to disable them due to the ugliness of SPAM. Sorry those who have been trying to comment.)

On my way to melbourne for work, anyone who knows about the teddy bear crime contact me.

Intrigued
