When it comes to doing something wonderful for my body & soul, massage and meditation always score well at the top of my list. As I sat and enjoyed a foot massage after work today, rather than read a magazine or stare awkwardly at the person doing it I decided to close my eyes and meditate, something I’ve never done before. The combination of being with your mind while connecting with a sensation of touch on your body is such a magic moment, highly recommend it for total relaxation bliss! 
You couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! Two people, two different cultures, so in love, exchanging vows infront of family and friends on this gorgeous Autumn Day.
Oh no indeed, the big three zero, another friend celebrating the dirty thirties, the start of another decade, the so called, mature best years!
I couldnt help but feel a bit out a place tonight surrounded by couples with new borns. Actually I think I was the only single, without a child, non related, person at the party. But tonight is not about my social status, tonight is about being there for a very good friend! Happy 30th, with many more good times ahead! Xx
It’s these little moments in life I love the most, being stopped again in awe of natures beauty, always ever changing, everywhere you look! Yesterday sunshine brought colours to life, today simple symmetry from fallen leaves, creating street artwork, just beautiful!
Melbourne weather over the last few days has been cold, grey, drizzly and wet, an uncomfortable reminder that winter is well on the way! I know this may sound crazy but I actually don’t mind a bit of wet weather, because it makes you appreciate the sunshine so much more once it returns the next day.
And that’s exactly what I did this morning, stopped by the sun on my way to work, mesmerised by all the gorgeous colours. Green, yellow and blue, just amazing how the sun lights up everything around you, it brings it back to life, in such a beautiful way!
I had a moment tonight when having conversations over a wine with a good friend. I was recapping over the last few years since moving to Melbourne, realising how so much has changed in regards to my living circumstances, job, personal interests and beliefs, health and friends. I remember back to my first few weeks arriving with nothing more than a suitcase, not really having any clue as to what I was going to do, but always feeling it would just somehow all fall in to place.
Nearly two years on and that is exactly what’s happened. I’m the happiest I have ever been, surrounded by an amazing group of friends, a job that I love, living very comfortably in the heart of Melbourne, with a social calendar that always seems to fill up effortlessly with new and exiting events. My idea of how to be happy has completely changed and it’s been such a simple lesson, be grateful for the simple things in life, take each day as they come and every day focus on what you love because regardless of what the day brings, there is always something you can find that makes you happy in the end!
I know what you are thinking… you must be on drugs, no one loves staying back late at work! Well, tonight I loved it because finally I was able to ( without any distraction ) complete a number of time consuming tasks. What should have taken a few hours to complete has taken days due to an inbox that refills constantly with last minute urgent requests. I’m just grateful that staying back normally is a rarity for me, so much so that when it happens, it’s exciting enough to make this blog!
