Aussie Born and Bred

I want to let everyone know how blessed I feel to be living in Australia. "The lucky country" seems very fitting. I know that we have our problems and concerns as a country - politically, socially, economically, environmentally - but I know that I can wake up each morning and feel safe. I know that my children will be fed, and educated. I know that my husband will return to me each night. I know that I have choices. Here in Australia we are so nourished and I want to acknowledge that. Protect our country's beauty and her children, let us remain what makes us uniquely Australian and let us honour what Mother Earth has provided for us here. Happy Australia Day everyone.

ps. Sending healing energy to Haiti!

New Year

I spent New Years Eve 2009 in the Aussie traditional way, drinks with friends. Other friends of mine spent it going on sacred journey as a gateway into 2010. I kinda wish I had done the same as I think 2010 is going to be a significant year. Apart from whatever was going on astrologically, it was full moon and a blue moon! With all that is happening in World, it would have been satisfying on so many levels to start the year setting intentions, and being a part of a group expressing peace to the World. I recently watched "Forrest Gump" and in the New Year's eve scene a woman says 'Don't you just love New Year, everybody gets a second chance.' But I am thinking why just at New Years? Every moment offers us a choice. It offers us a chance to choose peace over fear, higher energy over ego, responding over reacting, positivity over negativity. And I guess it doesn't have to be New Years Eve to honour and celebrate 'gateways' or 'new beginnings'. It comes back to the individual. As an individual my intent for 2010 is to come from a place of love and respect. I offer it to you.......
