Change by Chapters

Change
I've been thinking about change and the role it plays in our life after having a chat with a good friend recently and these words keep rolling around my head...  "There will be many chapters in your life.  Don't get lost in the one you're in now." I think sometimes we get lost in the reality of our life today, and we forget that change...

Fremantle Dockers: My Team – #foreverfreo

Many of us who enjoy sports are drawn to teams we think reflect us.  That team for me is the Fremantle Dockers.  Affectionally known as Freo, the Fremantle Dockers represent the grit of the hardworking people that live in the Port of Fremantle area.  That same grit can be found in my father who grew up in East Fremantle.  Consequently he instilled in me the value of hard work...

What It Means To Be A Dad To A Daughter

Yesterday, to my surprise a picture of myself and my daughter Jemma appeared in an article on BuzzFeed.com.  I'm not always going to react well to seeing pictures of my daughter thrown around the internet by people who don't know us at all - but of course if I put it out there this can happen!   However on this occasion I was more than...

Band of the Week: Ivan & Alyosha – Seattle's Newest Thang!

If you haven't heard of Seattle band Ivan & Alyosha, my guess is you're about to hear a lot about them.  Their folk-pop, harmony rich, full length debut album titled "All The Times We Had" drops next Tuesday 2/26, and it's receiving a lot of praise.  I've had the album for a couple of months and I love it.  My tip is that they, along...

This is for anyone who feels like they don’t fit into the image of what normal looks or feels like. What the hell is normal but a construct of some controlling voice that has an interest in us believing that their version of normal is actually normal. It’s not. There is no normal.
We are all individual people trying to find the courage to live as OUR authentic selves.

Do no harm… Does not mean you should allow peopl Do no harm… Does not mean you should allow people to walk all over you. It does not mean you shouldn’t hold to your boundaries or values. It does not mean you shouldn’t walk away from something not meant for you. Yes, you can upset people by doing all of the above. Their reactions are not your responsibility. How you do those things is. You can respect yourself and your boundaries firmly without being mean or hurtful. I’ll say it again. Do no harm, but take no 💩!

You don’t win any prizes for tolerating someone You don’t win any prizes for tolerating someone who doesn’t appreciate you. All you do is create suffering for yourself. Everyone deserves to be in a relationship where they are seen and heard, and their worth is valued and respected. Period. The end. If this is not your truth, you are not in the right relationship. I can tell you that when you make the hard choices to create the opportunity to be in a relationship where your worth is appreciated, and you find such a connection, you will ask yourself why the hell you didn’t make those choices sooner!!

I was feeling this, so let it flow. I sometimes wa I was feeling this, so let it flow. I sometimes want to be seen and understood in a wholistic way that incorporates the totality of my experience here on earth. I think it’s setting myself up for suffering created by unmet and unachievable desires and expectations. The reality is life is a solo gig, and it underscores that if you live life by other people’s terms, you’re doing yourself a massive injustice.

Today I head home to Australia with my daughter to Today I head home to Australia with my daughter to see my family and friends. To say that I'm excited to see everyone is an understatement. I have a large family of about 50 living in Perth, Western Australia. It's three flights, and from the first wheels up to the last wheels down is about 34 hours this time. While seeing family and friends is my priority, the second thing I'm most looking forward to is being in my country. Australia's indigenous people call the land "country," as in I'll be going to country. They use that word to describe the geographical place but it's more than that. It means home. The land is their home. As someone who grew up overlanding (as it's now known), I got to build a connection with Western Australia (a state 2.5 times the size of Texas) that I can only describe as country. It won't matter how much time I spend in the mountains or forests of Washington, I will never feel like I do when I'm in country. The smells, the textures, the sun, the sounds, the animals, the wind, the heat, it's all part of it. Every time I go back, I can't wait to walk barefoot and feel the heat in the ground, take a big breath in, and connect back to a place that feels part of me. That moment can't come soon enough. Oh and did I mention that it's beautiful?

I genuinely believe this. But I often forget it. I I genuinely believe this. But I often forget it. I catch myself holding onto something that no longer serves me because I fear the unknown. I still fear change. Most people think of relationships in this context; however, for me, the work remains in the professional setting. I still cling to the illusion of security and am driven by my fear of financial scarcity because of what I saw around me while growing up. The universe patiently waits for me to lean into the best version of myself, free of that fear, and offers opportunity after opportunity for me to learn that lesson. It’s time to let go, believe, and fly.

At 48 and after over two years of not being in a l At 48 and after over two years of not being in a long-term committed relationship, what I find sexy in a person is crystal clear. I’ve had plenty of time to reflect on past relationships and define what I value most in a person now. jillianturecki nailed it in one of her recent posts. When I was younger, I didn’t understand how valuable these things were. I either was attracted to different things or didn’t value these qualities enough when I dated someone who had them. I look back, and I realize my picker was off. A lot of the time, I picked the wrong people for the wrong reasons. Sometimes I jagged a wonderful person, but I hadn’t done the work to see and appreciate their true beauty. Now, these attributes are what it’s all about for me.

I am two years alcohol-free. This is one of the be I am two years alcohol-free. This is one of the best choices I've ever made. I can’t recommend it enough! I’m free from lousy sleep. I’m free from bad choices around; food, what time to go to bed, not being impeccable with my word, and disrespecting other people’s choices. I’m free from peer pressure. I’m free from putting a downer drug into my already anxious body. I’m free from extra, useless calories. I’m free from putting what scientists now say is poison into my body. 

I was not someone who had an issue with alcoholism. I hardly ever got more than tipsy. But I sometimes used alcohol as a patch to avoid other problems. I stopped drinking during the pandemic when alcohol was not serving a relationship I was in (on both sides) and because it had been harming the amount of sleep I was getting for way too long. These reasons and a few other health factors were why I chose to stop drinking in the first place. 

I have chosen to stay alcohol-free for many reasons, some listed at the top. Overall, it’s because I feel great, and at 48, that’s one of my main focuses right now. But on a deeper level, it’s forced me to fully experience the lows in my life, meaning there is nowhere to hide. I have to face myself, my fears, my choices, and my reality with complete honesty, and while feeling great is lovely, the learnings I’ve gained, the ability to confront my ugly truths, has been the real gift for me, and let’s be honest, probably the people close to me as well. I feel like I’m a better person for this choice, and I’m living a more self-actualized life.

Nature blows my mind. Whenever I feel like somethi Nature blows my mind. Whenever I feel like something is up with me, it’s almost always because I haven’t spent enough time in nature. It nourishes me in a way that centers me. It helps me connect more deeply to my inner being and delivers a type of unique joy that somehow allows me to breathe more deeply into my body. 

My solo trip to Sedona last year was all about connecting with nature, and boy, did it deliver!! 🌈🌈✨
