Liz Swimming with Kick Board to Balmain

"Nothing like a good Belly Laugh"

I just wrote an email to a really good friend the other day, saying I haven't had a belly laugh in ages. Like a really good hard laugh, like when it's impossible to stop laughing and you and the person your talking with, continue to add 'ridiculous'ness''on to the joke and keep laughing even harder....

...then tonight while stretching and relaxing (after calling in sick to work) ... (ooops) .... (just needed a night off).... (no particular excuse; besides, having to move house, train clients, teach classes (lots of covers this week), settle in to new house, work a night time bar job)....

....I called my wonderful new yoga friend 'Fabs', Fabienne, Fabian, Fabalicious...LOL! we were just discussing our week, work, play, yoga... whateves! and somewhere in and amongst all that conversation, where I lived, massage, Balmain, Anzac Bridge, me swimming from my place to Balmain, using a kick board to get from black wattle bay to where Fabs works in Balmain...she's a masseuse...and so the hysterical'ness' continued..you definitely would have had to been in the conversation to get it. But funny story ~ "short"! I scored my first Belly Laugh in what feels like a months!

...that's all...!

Glebe...

it's a little pre-mature, but this is my first official night living in my new Sydney suburb Glebe. The move had to take place a little earlier than anticipated as I have so much work on this week and will not be able to do it over the weekend. The whole process was seemingly simple, the most complex, being the bed of course and even that wasn't hard as it could of been. Its only a temporary move for about 6 weeks until I depart for my epic journey.

The thing I love about Glebe, besides its amazing location. Is that there is parking on Glebe Point Road, no matter what time of day! lots of little cafes and down to earth people floating around. Meaning, that Glebe is a refreshing break from your typical pretentious sydney suburb, and allot different to the 'riff raff' that floats around Newtown these days. Glebe also has a diverse socio-economic spread. HouseO's versus waterfront living. Hmmm could mean a little dodgEY, but if you have a lock up garage, then your sweet!...

Anyways..

Moving here, really marks the beginning of the countdown for me and my journey. Presently my creative juices are literally flowing. I have allot of positive energy which I have been channeling into my thoughts, writing of course, business plans and road maps. I have a few ideas which could really kick off, but definitely refinement and specificity. At this stage it is to be expected, "dreams gone wild" (could actually be a film title) hehehe. But thoughts are random and ad hoc and have very little follow through. I am exploring whats out there and going with what resonates.

ooo circles ooo

...it was only last night that I was talking about circles...then when I logged on to facebook this morning. A friends wall post had this image...I thought it was a bit random, considering the "circular" discussion!

Circles ooo

Often we go round and round in circles, trying to come to the right conclusion.

In the instance I am holding in my mind, all possible outcomes and repercussions have been evaluated and yes many of them are negative, do you stop the flow of life? i.e a good feeling hold you back?

As evolved as I feel, I am really struggling to do whats right here. Yes people can get hurt, but to say they will. 'Proceed Cautiously'! But I cannot honestly sit here and say that these are the intentions behind the actions, but due to the nature of the situation the unintentional actions make it appear as actions of intention. See?...'circles'.

complexity, temptation, attraction, curiosity, desire. All words that appeal to me in more ways than one. Each can come at varying degrees and cause us to behave unexpectedly because our human condition is to inquire, take risks, be drawn intuitively to something that fulfills a need, or a void that we presently have, or simply to learn more about ourselves. We may or may not know what the is until we are presented with it. Then the next word becomes 'Resist'. How do we resist the temptation?

As we are constantly changing, every day and minute, are highest values can go straight out the window before our very eyes if we are presented with an opportunity, a connection a solution to something we feel will will make us happy. It may only be a realisation, but it means a change from where we currently are or a shift in our perception of what is.

Fuck that's complex. I'm leaving it there. I have not only gone in circles in my head, it seems to have made a spiralling effect! eeeeek a spiraling circle...ain't that like a tornado!?

Good night x
