My new site design<\/h2>\n

Does it rock or not?<\/p>\n

I’m so loving my new design. You can see the striking difference between my design skills and that of a professional, which is why I no longer bother.<\/p>\n

We’ve set a date!<\/h2>\n

Last night we sat down and got real about our upcoming road trip around Australia<\/strong><\/a>. The night before I was freaking out that it was six weeks away and we hadn’t planned anything.<\/p>\n

We’d been waiting back to hear from a few people and instead of relying on them, decided to just go ahead and do it. We created our back up plans in case everything fails. We’re pretty certain this is going to work and be awesome. We feel safe with our plans and so will be leaving Sept 30th. First stop Wollongong.<\/p>\n

Now we have a lot to do in preparation.<\/p>\n

My Dad was on The Project<\/h2>\n

I’m very proud of my Dad. He has just finished his over 70’s Ashes cricket tour of England. He’s arriving home today. After watching depressing news stories washing in one after the other I was delighted to watch this inspiring story on The Project. I don’t know why news can’t be about stories like this. So many people of all ages doing amazing things.<\/p>\n

Just watch it, you’ll feel hope for the years that most people consider belong to having one foot in the grave.<\/p>\n

Fast FWD to 28.40 mins My Dad has the snowy white hair and can be seen in the background bowling and batting. My Mum is sitting in the middle of the two cricketing wives that get interviewed. She is really shy and I could see the terror on her face that she’d have to speak.<\/p>\n

God bless them. No wonder I believe so much in the power of living from your heart and soul.<\/p>\n
