Face a lifelong fear! While we were on our dream holiday, we caught up with our son Joe and his partner Ellie. They moved to Brisbane in 2022 and we were really looking forward to seeing them. We asked them to show us some of their favourite places that they had discovered since moving. I… Continue reading #8 – 50 things for 50 years

Patience…everything happens for a reason
I’m not necessarily the most patient person. I try hard to wait patiently for things to happen. Don’t get me wrong I can wait patiently in a line but when it comes to dreams and goals I am not very patient. This week has been a serious challenge. We bought our new dream caravan and… Continue reading Patience…everything happens for a reason

Burnout, Fatigue and Self Care
I’ve just attended a session hosted by my wok place on Burnout, Fatigue and Self Care. This time of year is definitely one of the most stressful. Normally I would be stressing about whether or not a family member would ruin everything. I have decided this year not stress about that. If they turn up… Continue reading Burnout, Fatigue and Self Care
