I’m taking a break

…e a warm and positive place. This doesn’t mean that my life is always this way. I have shit happen all the time, but I just deal with it and focus on embracing the good stuff. I know how depressed someone can get just by reading depressing stories. I can’t be responsible for that!! 🙂 Playing the violin doesn’t really make things better. I believe that you can find ways to learn and empower yourself from any negative situation or emotions. So that…

Dear Mr President: Be the Change you Wish to see

…honest, there is little we can do to control the power and greed that overcomes a human being’s sense of fairness and compassion. If I hand over the world to these people, then I become powerless and afraid. It doesn’t have to be like that, because I have the power over my own life. Be the Change you wish to see It doesn’t matter what others do, I can control my world and how I want it to be. The most powerful statement of all came from the lips…

On leaving a legacy for my daughters

A penthouse baby shower

…shower ended. Not just because I had a really good time celebrating the upcoming birth of my sister in-laws first daughter, but because it was hard to pry myself away from the fantasy I had almost convinced myself was my reality. That this penthouse was really my house and I was playing host for the afternoon. Baby shower in the Penthouse I don’t think I ever want to attend or host another party again in any other place but a penthouse. Michelle…

Keeping healthy with a Breville juicer from Big W

…got that lovely frothy bit on top that the pineapple juices in Thailand always had. Pineapple juice from Thailand My only sage advice is to ensure the juice jar is actually in place under the spout before you turn it on. Lucky for me I noticed before the beetroot hit the juicing blade and I only got pineapple all over the floor. Kalyra and I love using the Breville juicer now together. The oranges sit idly waiting in our fruit bowl for their date…
