Pretty in Pink

I am not one who would normally go for a dress like this ... however, there is something very enchanting about this image that just captured my imagination...

A beautiful evening, champagne, gorgeous shoes and a very charming dinner partner, lots of talking, laughing, clinking glasses ..... oh to be whisked away .....

My True North Star!

Over the past few months I've undertaken some intensive writing courses and via these courses a journey of self-discovery has also taken place.

I teach others about alignment and finding their passion then walking their true path ... you know the one that sits in head and heart....

I found that I had strayed from my path .... I think I took the 'other' fork in the road and found myself on a journey that others had chosen for me.  The path that they thought I should follow because that would be best....

This week my head and heart aligned and I can safely feel and see my way forward on my path.  The one that I have chosen for me ... I walk hand-in-hand with me on this path and I am confident that my North Star will guide  me to where it is that I am going.

Happy Friday!

Starting to take shape

I have been working away and my new book and I am really excited about the changes that have started to take place ... insert *squeal* here ...

My second book that I started working on late last year, which is probably about half way through it's first draft... is no longer the book that I am writing or working on - not at all what I had expected to have happen!

Taking part in a writing course over the past few weeks has seen the most amazing little character come to life. She is just gorgeous, full of life, inquisitive, fun and a little bit cheeky - in a good way!

I am so looking forward to her coming to life along with her friends and I can not wait to see the adventures that she takes us on...

Feels like a lifetime .....

Feels like a lifetime since I was last on blog..... have been busy helping out my mum after everything that has happened .... trying to spend time with my little guy whilst he is on holiday and before the madness of big school starts next month ....

Too many hats over the past few weeks with all manner of other things... looking forward to returning to normality - or at least my take on normal this week!

A new year ... some new plans

To say that the end of 2010 was a little rocky would be an understatement...

Mixed emotions .... sad, happy, relief, emotional all mixed up together.

The start of the new year always brings joy for me. Not one for new year resolutions as such, however I love the excitement of having a fresh slate to plan for the year and setting my goals. Allowing myself the time to sit quietly and really look at the things that I would love to be doing in the year of 2011.

I love to include something that I've never done before... and over the years this had lead to some very amazing adventures and memories that always bring a smile...

I've spent NYE in Times Square New York

Danced in the New Year Sabah, Borneo

Visited the Orangutan Sanctuary in Borneo

Published my first book

Had a beautiful Baby

Went the the Rugby World Cup

Watched Luciano Pavarotti sing with Dame Joan Sutherland

Hiked the Grand Canyon

Heartfelt memories that made my heart sing for very different reasons ... grateful to have given myself the space to do these amazing things ... today I write my new list of milestones that I would like to reach this coming year ....

Today I feel renewed and blessed xx
