What's a life changing moment for you?

Well.... that was a day that will be etched in my memory forever...and for my parents too I'm thinking!! The day that nearly changed my family's life in a drastic way .
Just before Christmas I was walking with my sister and little brother in ankle deep water out to a known sandbar in Australind WA . We were out some distance and my memory gets hazy there. I can see up above me the light of the sun through the water, my brother on my shoulders trying to get air. He was abou...t 5 and I was 8. I was struggling for air and got none.
My next memory is of me waking up vomiting near my dad who was bent over me. Some how the alarm was raised by other kids and Dad got there in time to drag us out of the trench that had been dug, and give me mouth to mouth to get me breathing again!!! Still sends chills down my arms and back just writing this.
How a split second can totally change the course of our lives! Who's to know when we have our last day.....
We have a responsibility to love big, hug a little longer, speak a little kinder, spread some love wherever we are.
As I am writing this I am thinking of Texas and all the heartbreak and devastation there. I have no words, just tears.
You are in our prayers xoxox.

What's your one moment that is little known but totally impacting? 💕

                                    Hello Super Hero Mumma! How's everything in your world?  Crazy busy? Cruisy? Well... let me tell you.... For me it has been a little cra cra to say the least.  Two words... School Holidays! In a nut shell, this is both awesome and unbearable all at the same time.  Things are noisy, messy, unorganised, fun, entertaining, uncontrolled and just plain crazy!! And most of the time CHAOS  (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome !)  But we sucked it up and still invited a gorgeous young mum and her 7 kidlets over spontaneously yesterday....mess and all!   Everyone has mess.  Why do we all try to hide it or pretend to be perfect? What is with this huge false garbage we go along with?  What is with the pressure that we accept and try to

Let It Go !!!

Micro Manager Mum !! Who else can put their hand up to this one? As I prepared to go away for a whole week, I had prepared meals, instructed what to defrost and heat when and with what ( so nobody would get scurvy and die!) had asked for a huge favour to the daycare that Jed visited last year and had him squeezed in for 3 of the days that he's not in Kindy, cooked a whole ton of food...etc etc... I must admit that there were a few things that I couldn't get around to or just plainly decided that there was really no point,,, like sweeping the floor just one.more.time !!!! I'm here 5000kms from home and trying to let go! I have a few very heated, steam coming out of ears - type moments when I go here. My darling 79 yr old mother text me a 'happy landing' message to also include, "Jed had a lovely sleep"....this was the day he was to be in daycare !! Jed is 5. Jed is tiring and fast. Jed does NOT need to be at my older parents place all day,

Some awesome thoughts for today  💕 💕 💕  choose happiness  😍 "Dear Stranger, You don’t know me but I hear you are going through a tough time, and I would like to help you. I want to be open and honest with you, and let you know that happiness isn’t something just afforded to a special few. It can be yours, if you take the time to let it grow. It’s OK to be stressed, scared and sad, I certainly have been throughout my life. I’ve confronted my biggest fears time and time again. I’ve cheated death on many adventures, seen loved ones pass away, failed in business, minced my words in front of tough audiences, and had my heart broken. I know I’m fortunate to live an extraordinary life, and that most people would assume my business success, and the wealth that comes with it, have brought me happiness. But they haven’t; in fact it’s the reverse. I am successful, wealthy and connected because I am happy. So many people get caught up in doing what they think will mak
