im moving

Place: My Office

Poison: Long Black

Favourite Things: going to the ballet today

Well its the end of an era. As of tomorrow I wont be living in leederville anymore. Which ends 7 years of being in such a fantastic part of town.

I am a big believer in the changing of seasons and my season is changing.

As hard as it is, I am trying to transtion this really well, but its not always that easy.

I found an advert in this months vouge, with Cate Blanchett saying ‘I embrace change…’

I ripped it out and forced myself to say this also. I embrace change. It sounds so new age, but sometimes we just need to tell ourselves these things till we believe it.

I also made a list of the things I wont miss, from carr street. And there are many of them. My sentimental side however gets lost in the romance of settling and staying put.

So as of tomorrow I have a new address. The fan mail will need to be forwarded. SMILE. WINK. WINK.

I’ll be writing from Mt Claremont soon.

Peace out,

A

home made soap

Place: My Office

Poison: Long Black

Favourite Things: Green Scarf from Paris from Elaine…smile

I am loving the thought of sustainability and waste not, want not currently. Mostly inspired from my mum.

This last weekend she made some soap and deoderant, which sounds ‘Oh so Hippy!’, yet I’m thinking in this chemical enhanced, genetically modified, hormone enriched world, its not a bad thought to know what you are putting on and in your body.

Check out the link above.

No reason why you should not think creatively about our future and your kids future.

Its just the little things.

Its the simple things

Favourite Things: One month exactly till I start writing my next book.

Okay it has hit me. I have been preparing and planning, researching and recording but only today has it hit me that it is one month exactly until I start the whole process again.

Capture 2, is more than a figment of my imagination it is actually happening.

One of my besties Kym is coming to Thailand with me to photo capture 30 days of desperation. We are on a mission and I am hoping it will actually work out.

This morning she sent me this email as an inspiration and I hope it inspires you also.

Prayers, thoughts and encouragement gladly received as this new adventure has come at a cost. A personal one. Not finanacial, as always it will be a financial stretch, but a lifestyle cost as a book consumes your mind, life and heart.

If its not all consuming I dont see how it can be birthed.

I never want to publish anything that is just done because its a good idea. I want to be burning with something to say.

If I am not burning, its just so not worth the cost.

Ahhhh.
