A penny for my thoughts ~

It's been so very long since my fingers deftly created a blog.

Far too long I feel as though my fingers are like chicken feet, scratching the keyboard with a kind of strange and painful malady. Over the last year or so I've been developing ideas, working hard and playing as much as I can make time for.

One goal was to start exercising more due to my osteoporosis was diagnosed, I tried all kinds of things and eventualy gave them all up for one thing I'd loved as a young adult. Fire Twirling. so now every second day I stand in the middle of a clearing in the rainforest (home) and light both ends, dance with fire and meditate. Which is a wonderful offshoot to the actual exercise, I realised how much happier it made me feel, more energised and centred.

I've also taken off some weight which is a good thing for any women to say in her late thirties LOL.

My working life is taking a twist, it seems to me a fruitless thing to work for others, so in essence I have given myself the task of finding three clients in three months, giving up building someone elses business for below min wage and earning more for doing smarter but LESS work. It's scary, my income is stable in the household but I'm losing soul slowly being treated the way I am where I currently work, and most employers are the same up here.

Beyond that hubby is working on another long term film project, one that will eventually provide a steady stream of income and fingers crossed be taken up by a station for airing on pay TV. Fingers crossed on that one, you never know.

My sister made the two thousand kilometer move to be near me with her two boys and I have to say I am once again blessed to have my family near by. Some things are irreplacable and priceless, family are top of that list.

As for being here? There is a deep satisfaction in seeing all (almost all) of the people that made the last three years so enjoyable, a warmth spreads and a smile lights up to see everyone milling around a new street.... which of course means that LucyT's street streak will once again splash over your pages again soon LOL nice to be back.
