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.
Â
May I never take for granted the freedom that we so gloriously enjoy.
lest we forget…

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

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.

Flicking through some photos in search of inspiration and bang this photo turns up on my screen!
Okay before you get freaked out, this is a very funny moment. Ali Cullen and I at disneyland, trying to find something non sugar coated and we found these a big leg of turkey! Only in the U S of A…
So this is a quirky tribute to the amazing Ali Cullen, The States and all things large.
Ali, her husband Mark and their destined son Daniel, packed up their lives 5 months ago to go and live in LA and support, lead and encourage our new congregation there. From all the stories, reports and chats I am having, she is doing such an amazing job. Stepping up into all levels of leadership and doing whatever it takes to live large!
Ali, I think you are amazing, and I still think about those few days we spent together in Febuary and was completely blessed by Gods faithfulness.
Here’s a toast to doing whole lifetimes together, not just a few years and moving beyond the easy and superficial layers of friendship, to those that spread across oceans, time differences and made lovely through technology like the internet.
Ann, you and the fam will be so loved when you visit in June.
All my love and much thoughts of inspiration

Favourite Things: Winter clothes
Today is the first day in a long time that it feels like winter. A seasonal type of girl, I love the positive that every season bring. Summer- fish and chips, Autumn- cake and coffee, Winter- soup and Spring- champagne and strawberries!
As much as I love sun beaming through a window pane, I am so inspired by rain dribbles down my window in my office and the thought of pulling out my winter clothes once again.
In a drought stricken nation, there is nothing more comforting than seeing rain pour into our byways and highways, satisfying a very thirsty dam.
Rain brings a comfort to a weary heart, a snuggle factor to a fledgling couple and more awareness in the midst of crazy traffic.
Love the rain, bring it on!
I hope it stays awhile. Rain, rain, don’t go away, I would love for you to stay…
