The Don's Meddle

This blog was a great inspiration for me to publish my post. The words really sum up how I have been feeling the last month or so, so thank you @catmarytomlinson thank you so much! March 2015 - We started the New Year with the exciting news that we were pregnant.  I found out on the 6th January (my pop's birthday) and it truly was the most amazing news ever.  Drew and I were so excited to learn we were going to have a child together, we were so happy and totally freaking out at the same time.  Unfortunately for us the pregnancy wasn't successful and we lost our baby in February 2015.  This is a post that I have written to get my thoughts and emotions out of my head, heart and somewhere I can read back and reflect.    My body, my mind and heart are at odds. My heart is holding on to our baby that we both loved instantly, my mind is on overdrive wondering why us, what if, but my body has already forgotten the life it held for...

This week was a great week for #fmsphotoaday - I really felt this week captured moments that truly reflect how I was feeling, not having to find something for the daily prompt.   9 Make Happy National Meatball Day.  We had mince out of the freezer to make an easy Monday night bolognese and ended up having meatballs after my friend Jo reminded me (how dare I forget) that today was indeed meatball day.  Needless to say these were the best meatballs I have eaten in a long time. Scrumptious. 10 Floral Hydrangeas I love. I walk past them everyday on my way home from work and they just always seem to say "hello, how are you going today"!  They always have a certain class about them and I love how the colours change depending on the day/weather.   11 Happy Place Wednesday night at the Ivy, tasting Wines from Around the World with Sarah R.  In my happy place. With a great friend who I haven't seen for a while, drinking wine from all around the...

2 Part of Me Walk out in the fresh air with the husband in my relatively new sneakers!  Part of me loves walking and getting exercise. Let me feet do the walking.   3 Open Door I saw near Coogee beach on a walk recently, thought it looked like a labyrinth door and wanted to open it and see what was inside....   4 Geometric Geometric pattern on a painting at the Intercontinental hotel in Sydney this week. Helping out our sales and marketing team at our market report launch for customers and snapped this piccie. Perfect.   5 Out the Window Sitting in reception at my counsellors office, for my first EAP visit. Love this view.  Was feeling quite nervous and anxious about talking to a complete strange but also excited that I got to discuss a few things I have been holding onto that need releasing and this view calmed me down ready for my session.   6 Remedy Friday night, glass of wine (happy hour) sitting at Café del Mar with a coup...

23 Fix Finally have my game fix! Got sent Cards Against Humanity from the gorgeous Cookie & Michael store in Melbourne.  They have amazing stuff, are gorgeous talented people who run the shop too!  Drew and I had visited Cookie and Michael, otherwise known as Dave & Michael and played this game. Highly addictive.  Cannot wait to play again.   24 12 O'clock At this time today I was at the Royal Hospital for Women having a small procedure.  I remember sitting in the chair for what seemed like eternity and realised it was nearly 12 o'clock. I was hungry, tired and waiting for name to be called when I took a little selfie snap.  Long day but glad to have captured this picture.   25 Reflection Watching MKR with delicious dishes being served up and something always catches my eye outside but forget it is the reflection of the TV. Looks like the lamp is also outside.... tricky reflections.   26 Grow One day when I have a...

      16 From where I stand After an overdue lunch catch up with friends I stopped to take in the view at World Square as it has been ages since I have been there, after working in the EY building for over 7 years was nice to come back and see the changes.   17 Routine Love a cuppa? I do.  A good cup of tea is definitely a daily routine, sometimes black tea, sometimes white or green tea depending on my mood.  I do like it strong and am known to use two tea bags for one cuppa.  Irish in me you see.  This picture is of the cup I got two Christmas's ago from my lovely mother-in-law Sandra. Great present.   18 Bedside Crystals, candles, angels to watch over me, to send me love, light and to give me energy on my bedside table.   My workbook from Leonie Dawson also to inspire my creative side, to push through barriers and to challenge me and a bottle of natural insect repellent from Thailand in case pesky mossies co...

So behind on my blogging.. here is Week 7!       9 Energy Feeling a little sluggish means I need to exercise more to get more usable energy and swimming is the place that I need to be more often.  For me following the black line is time when I can just let go of all the stress, tension and worries and give my body a good swim session.   10 Inspires Me Part of the sluggishness means I need to get myself back into exercise. It makes you feel good, inspires me to be more creative in my life, gives me more energy and reduces the cortisol in the body.  This photo of Drew and I on our first trip to Thailand together I felt so fit and healthy and alive.  This is what inspires me to train hard, eat well, rest, recover, be at one with body and mind.   11 On the Wall Our security system at home is our fluffy ginger SH Tiggy. He likes to be up high and keep an eye on the other units behind us, always on the wall chilling out and keepi...
