ESTABLISHED 2012

Some people would describe my life-journey choices as quite “bizzare”, and I totally get that.

At age 40 years, I made some brave career decisions and adventured into the unknown.

I found myself exploring new places, new people and a new me.

I was on a quest for true “freedom” driven by childlike ambition, powerful self-belief and courageous spirit.

Many times, I got chewed up and spit back out again, but I kept going.

I believe, I was self-exploring, and letting the wind carry me to pastures new. Sometimes I landed softly and other times with a hard bang, but I just kept going.

I got so used to dealing with this roller-coaster life, that it became the new norm for me.

I also built up an insane amount of resilience, often surprising myself.

Fast-forward 12 years later, where today, I am slightly more reserved with my “next jump” into the stratosphere.

I love that I am “joyously daring“. I never want to settle for a mediocre life. I just can’t bear that thought.

I’ve always felt, even from a young child, that I was destined for magnificence (but it has to help others too).

How bold of me to say that, but it’s truly how I feel.

Oh how I hear my Mother saying, “Pride comes before a fall“.

However, no matter how many times I fall, I dust myself off and forge forward, more determined than ever.

And I kinda love that about me – whoops, did I just say that? Yes, I think I did.

What I have gained, by taking the “scenic route” of life, is the most AMAZING experiences. 

I shared some of these true stories with my family members last Christmas and WOW, what a real belly laugh we all had. 

I told the toughest of my times in such a “funny” way, just like a stand-up comedian. 

It was then in that moment I realised, my darkest days, where self-perception based.

When I reflected on it differently and emotionally detached, I could see how “hilarious” the whole experience was.

My lovely Mum, 83 years, often tells me now…

“you’ve got to have a laugh“.

She’s captured the meaning of life perfectly.

I’m smiling now, are you?
