It's been a while since I wrote here and I really want to tell you why. I mentioned in a few of my previous posts about a big change due. Well, here it is! I've moved continents to Australia!
Moving is both exhausting and exciting, especially when it offers possibilities of new beginnings. For those of you who know me, I'm not the kind to stay in the same town/house for a long while. Call it restlessness or a desire to start afresh, I love the idea of offloading all the *junk* in my life, streamlining it and starting simple and fresh again - it has a way of reminding me of all the things I have been blessed with in my life and pushing me to re-evaluate all that I really need to be simply happy.
