Perfection

Right now in this moment, I feel that my life is truly perfect, my heart and soul are full, I am on the exact path (or dirt track really) that I'm supposed to be. 

I got to wake up this morning and reflect on the awesome weekend I've had, where I've seen so many of my loved ones, laughed, cried (thanks Anna and the isa family), shared stories on the struggles, celebrated success and got to acknowledge that, as much as I absolutely love Perth and it's home, my life right now is in Sydney and it's profoundly changed my life for the better. 

You might say well she doesn't have a partner, kids, lives far from her family and isn't the thinnest/prettiest/whatever girl in the room... My answer to all you haters and negative Nancy's out there is - how's about you walk a day in my shoes and feel the amount of love, health and happiness I have in my life, you might be surprised to find that it's the same, if not more than you. 

Yeh I live a long way from my family, I miss my parents, my nieces (100%!!), my grandma and my sisters, but that's ok because we make time to communicate by calling regularly, using FaceTime (so awesome to be able to watch my nieces grow up not just through a photo here and there) and by really making the most of my time with them while I'm here right now.

I've also met some amazing people in Sydney - one who is related to me somewhere very distantly (Kate - you're an absolute legend!) that have made it so easy for me to settle quickly. Sydney feels no different to Perth for me now. 

So what I don't have a man in my life?!  I have amazing role models in my parents and grandparents on what love looks like, I know what I want, I trust that right now I'm working on me so that I can be the best partner when I meet someone, but I'm not willing to compromise myself, my beliefs or my dreams for any man. 

On the kids front, well I know I want them at some point but I'm not going to have one for the sake of it, I want to be in a loving relationship that will nurture and support that child in the way my parents have me. Because I would not be the person I am without them, they are phenomenal and encourage me to be everything and anything I want at any given moment. 

And really let's be honest about not being the thinnest or the prettiest or whatever someone wants to take you down for... WHO CARES?!! This is who I am, so take it or leave it! I am working on myself everyday, but that's for me and me alone, I no longer care what anyone else thinks and this has been one of the most freeing beliefs I've ever had. 

I now choose to surround myself with likeminded people, people who care about themselves and their families, people who are willing to take action and make changes in their lives if they recognise the need, people who are genuinely happy like me.

I choose to be happy, I choose to be healthy and I choose to be me - not gonna pretend to be anyone else.

So here I am sitting at Kings Park, reflecting on how amazing and perfect life is, all because of the choices I've made in the last 4 months. 

I'd love to hear if you're on a similar journey to me, what you're doing, what struggles you've come up against and how you've faced them.  Or if you want to know a bit more about my journey feel free to leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

Much love to you all and thank you so much for being a part of my life and following my journey ❤️

Where The Energy Is At

Lately I've seen a few people I follow and know talking about, on social media, embracing and igniting their feminine energy and feeling a huge shift in their lives by doing this. Which made me curious about my own energy and where it's at... so I got googling and reading because I honestly knew nothing about it. Any one who's read The Secret will actually know what I'm talking about as this all comes from the law of gender... unfortunately before now it didn't interest me. Just to be clear for those who haven't heard of this concept before, I'm not talking about physical or emotional genders or even sexuality, I'm talking about the energy we engage, focus on, hold, play in or however you want to call it. We've all heard of alpha males right? Well that comes from the masculine energy that someone holds. Immediately I realised from reading just one paper on this (I have read many more), that I engage my masculine energy, probably a solid 90% of t

A number with too much meaning

Let's get very real right now and I'll admit I'm uncomfortable writing this... I've been holding off on telling anyone about completing my first 16 week challenge with nutritional cleansing and 8 week F45 challenge because I'm straight out ashamed that I didn't achieve everything I wanted. To the point that I skipped out on having my body scan because I didn't want to know the results, didn't want to know if the kilos I'd gained were muscle or fat, didn't want anyone around me to know the numbers.  I know this may sound ridiculous, but if you've battled with your weight and obsessed about it for years like I have, then you know it's a very slippery slope back to where you began and gaining a couple of kilos is the very scary start. I want to be completely honest right now  because I know I'm not the only one who's done things or may do something like this in the future. I'm not the only one who's weight has gone up and dow

Ego v Romantic Interest

This blog started out as being about my life, everything as a whole, but over time it turned into a dating blog as I had become a serial dater and it was the highlight of my life for a period when I was unhappy in SO many other parts of my life. Like hating my job, spending time with friends to avoid spending time with myself, training at the gym a lot to try and get the body that I thought would make me happy and that I was 'closet eating' by lying to myself about what was going in my mouth. So dating guys and being the judgy mcjudge pants chick that I used to be was amusing and kept me distracted from those other things. I decided that it was time to work on me so 2016 is about me, my health, my dreams and goals, and since the beginning of this year, since moving to Sydney, it would appear from this blog that I wasn't getting amongst the dating scene much because I had been too busy working on me, but to be completely honest, I've dabbled in dating. I went on
