When we live life with gratitude we’re one step closer to living life intentionally. Each day we wake up is a day to make a difference in someone’s life, or at the very least in your own life. As we are part of the change we see the flow on to others and the benefits they receive. While I am no Pollyanna, I do attempt to live authentically and with purpose; and I do believe in reciprocity. The posts in this category reflect the many ways I have been blessed by the generosity of others; sometimes that generosity is simply allowing me to a part of their lives.
I hope you are having, or have had, a great weekend doing all the things that bring you pleasure and release from stress of the past week. We’ve had a busy week as we travelled the final few hundred kilometres on the Western Australian (WA) side of the border. We had a two-night stop at…
I signed up for this year’s challenge in the hope it would motivate me to more regular writing. With a number of posts written in March and scheduled for the April A-Z Challenge, it was an encouraging start. Planning was going well. Then COVID-19 hit close to home with state borders closing which ejected us…
Stirling’s affluence is evident the moment you turn off the freeway and slow down to a suburban pace. The homes, boutique shops, street sculptures and town planning all point to an old part of the Adelaide Hills that has been moneyed since the first house was built. The town was founded in 1854. Its rapid…
Morven with a population of 250 people is an Outback Queensland town where we spent a few sleepy days camped at the Morven Recreation Grounds. That was in 2018 on the start of our road trip to see Australia. A lot has happened since those lazy days and I am again grateful for diary entries…
Since 2014, New Year’s Day is when I print the digital journal entries for the previous twelve months and then set about binding them into a book. It is a labour of love and one I enjoy spending the day doing. It is as much a time to dip into the previous year’s entries and…
Hello, my name is Linda and I am an Introvert. More specifically, I am what Myers-Briggs profiling describes as an INFJ. It is a personality type I share with Nelson Mandela, Oprah Winfrey and Mother Teresa and between 1 and 3 percent of the population. It helps to know this as I have lived the…
Esperance. The beaches. The Great Ocean Drive. The vibe. The cafes and the festivals. We heard so much about this town and the abundance of beautiful places to visit. From endless beaches along a pristine coastline with white sands and crystal clear turquoise waters, Esperance would seem to have it all. And it has. But…
Sightseeing and travel are fun activities but what do we do when we stop? How do we spend our time when we’re not driving between towns or attractions? Reading and Audio Books Books are a favourite with both Basil and I. While Basil reads physical books my preference is digital and there are a number…
It hasn’t been that long since our previous visit to the hamlet of Greenock nestled, in the heart of the Barossa Valley. This is a wine-producing region of South Australia and one that can hold its head high with other primo wine regions of the world. Primarily it is a destination of wine buffs but there is enough to do and see to…
December 2018 We returned to New Zealand for Christmas to spend time with family and friends. This is where our oldest friends live and each visit reminds us how lucky we are. We are blessed to have good friends to return to and add party of this reflection I wanted to show you some of…
