So in this wet and wild weather I’ve decided to jot down a few thoughts, possibly chat a little about myself and my amazing life so far.
Depending on the day, the weather, phase of the moon and any number of random factors I generally consider myself an incredibly lucky woman.
All things considered I’m living the dream.
I have ‘heaps of kids,’ when asked what that means, my standard answer is, ‘just the five.’
Often met with disbelief, which has always made me question what people think a life with this many kids looks like?
I come from a pretty big and close family, so this level of chaos sits comfortably with me. In saying that, I never planned on becoming my mother… not that that would have been a terrible thing.
As I get older I realise that your situation really depends on the stories you tell yourself, about everything… your childhood, your relationships (all kinds) your privilege. It’s all relative to where you’ve been and where you are now.
I have never planned much, that could be an excuse for not always succeeding and a fear of failure, however I look at it as a way of being open to serendipity. I didn’t expect to be running my own business, teaching people the joy of creating, the pleasure of drawing the human form, especially I can’t quite believe that I’m able to do this in one of my favourite places in the world??
Byron Bay man!!
I love that I really don’t know where the next year is going to take me, I’m just so grateful for all the things that have gone wrong for me to be here now, with all it’s twists and turns it still is a beautiful world.
