We need to forget who we think we are in order to become who we are.

About Me

Who knows? Life's taking twists and turns lately... and I'm just calmly trying to follow it... My current state? I'm living in Mt. Martha by the Bay with my little gem of a kitten, Diego, named after the husband of Frida Kahlo. Frida was a great Mexican painter, who painted through her love and pain. Having Diego around inspires me to do the same. I've also just bought a swish guitar and am enjoying learning. As amateur as I am, when I play something right the vibration sends shivers down my spine...and I'll aspire to more of that...slowly but surely!! In the meantime, I'm so lucky to be close to local bands/musicians who always send me those shivers from the stage to the dancefloor! I've learnt lately that time with my self is an absolute blessing, but when I'm not alone I am so thankful for the few special friends that accept me for my mistakes, weaknesses... and idiosyncrasies. At the moment I'm reading about panchang moon astrology - an ancient Indian holistic system that takes the pressure off what we perceive as 'time'... something many of us need as the simplicity of life is pushed with such haste and speed into seemingly important priorities that diminish our ability to experience the 'moment'. So life's slowly slowing down for me...as when I rest and do 'nothing' - what we'd normally call wasted time - I 'enjoy'...and if we enjoy the time we might have 'wasted', can we really call it wasted time???

My Interests

aromatherapy, photography, try to do 'some' yoga everyday, seeking grouse gigs, catching up with mates, visiting the ocean, snorkling through kelp forests, cuddling cats, festivals, being on the open road, lino cutting, weaving, trying to keep my potted garden alive so i can munch my own vegies and herbs, astrology, saving energy and water, going into JB... and never leaving hands free, twinkling on the piano (though becoming more rare), starting any new interesting project...and aiming to complete them!!!

personality test...does it sound like me? i guess you wouldn't know...but should have a go!

Thought I'd see how this 'blog' thing works! It's not my writing...but it's a start! Was actually quite an interesting personality test (and quite an accurate reflection). You should give it a go, I'...
