Find your village

Do you ever wonder when you are sitting in traffic or on the train, what the people around you lives are like? I do. All the time. The human condition fascinates me, how people tick and what make them tick. It’s like thinking about the world – and then thinking how were are in our galaxy, then the universe. Once you start thinking about it, it gets bigger and bigger. Same, with people. It just gets bigger and bigger when you stop and think about it. And then you break it down, like right down to your own immediate circle.... Read more →

Intention - with pen and paper

Well, that has happened quickly. It is amazing when you actually decide on making a change – how quickly things can start to manifest for you. I wrote about it here. And after I hit publish, I consciously went through my social media zoo and did what I said I would do. I un-noised it. De-activated my twitter account and made a mental note of creating more quiet.

So lovely people, the latest taking stock: Making: Lists of things to do for my upcoming trip to Bali (24 days and counting!) Cooking: Quite a bit actually, and slowly enjoying it. Huh? I know, amazing! Drinking: Lot’s of COFFEE! Of course wine but I change to Red over winter. Reading: Lots of blogs at the moment. Saving a couple of... Read more →

Taking Stock

So Pip from Meet me at Mikes wrote a post recently about what was currently happening in her life, as did Kayte from Woogs World. And, I thought I'd get on the band wagon and fill you all lovely people in on what's happening in my corner. It's like having a deep and meaningful with me, but culled down to five minutes. So, let's do it! Making : Headway with driving a big car. You see, we recently sold my zippy Mazda 3 to help with our renovation funds and I now drive the "beast" aka Steves baby - The... Read more →
