Hey there! If you've been around these parts of blog-town for a while, you know that I am OBSESSED with the importance of relationships. It's out of control. I love people. I REALLY love MY people. If you're here, you're high on my list already. If I don't know you, I really want to, with all the little pieces of my heart. And it's weird because I always considered myself an introvert. I really love being on my own and… Read more »
For a little while now, I've been trying to make a conscious effort to look for beautiful moments in the potentially mundane-ness of every day life. Going to work and the usual monotony of being an adult can get a little dull…if you let it. My new focus is to enjoy the little things and go against everything 'being an adult' sometimes seems to represent. This is a snapshot of the past weekend: – On Thursday I took advantage of the… Read more »
Oh wow, what a week! To be honest, I was still recovering from last weekend most of this week, you might be able to tell that I operate on a fairly low frequency vibe most of the time. This week one of my closest friends moved back to Sydney (thanks to a cunning plan hatched by yours truly) and we have spent most of the week at work gossiping and catching up. On Sunday I ventured to Earth to Table… Read more »
1 – Do a relationship 'stock take' It may seem weird to reduce relationships to inventory but, honestly, take a good, hard look at who you are spending your time with. These are the people who influence you the most and who will ultimately shape some of your most vital beliefs and characteristics. It has been said that "you are the average of the people you spend your time with". Ask yourself these questions: – Who lifts you up when… Read more »
I hope you are enjoying meeting some of my wonderful friends!! I am really enjoying learning more about them and sharing them with you. My next victim is the bright and bubbly Cassie of Cassie Is Homing. That is her blog, of course, but to me she is more than a bloggy friend. Cassie and I have a HUGE history of working together during uni at the movies, we went to the same uni but studied different things, we were… Read more »
You know how sometimes, you feel as though a change is coming and you're just waiting for it to hit? I kind of feel as though that is happening to me at the moment. I have no idea where all the things that are coming at me are going to lead, but there is definitely a change coming and it is definitely exciting. This weekend, I was feeling a bit blah. It happens sometimes and I just wished that I… Read more »
It's inevitable, upon returning from a trip home or when family and friends visit me in Sydney, that I then spend the next few days (weeks, etc) with the Back From Brisbane Blues. I can't help it, my chest aches with recent memories of the special people in my life who live there that I get the chance to see when I go home. It's as if no time has passed and distance means nothing, a true testament to the… Read more »
I often mention the wonderful creative beings in my life, and the way that being around them in Sydney has really enriched my experience here and my own creative endeavours. Whilst I have no intention of my blog being blatant promotions of my friends and their current projects, I do like that I have this outlet to share what they're up to, should anyone be interested. My friend, Yolanda, is one of these people. We met briefly working on Big… Read more »
I had so many intentions for this weekend and nothing really went as planned, including my Monday blog post! I think most of it is because of the insane amount of rain we had in Sydney, literally putting a dampener on the whole weekend. What I planned to do: – Go to Bikram Yoga – Go to the Vivid Light Festival – Write a blog about the Vivid Light Festival – Clean my whole house – Go to a screening… Read more »
