CURRENT MISSION

2 have learnt from the past, relish the present & welcome the future... & 2 record the moments as vividly as possible. Marks is ... breathe in, breathe out, wipe on, wipe off - lol!

ABOUT ME

Still breathing and on the right side of the law! Happily married mum of 3 teenagers, youngest of 4 to 2 wonderful parents who R still married. I love 2 write @ length; read @ leisure; cook, eat & experiment with fresh produce; appreciate & indulge in the products of grape, hops, & copper stills; explore & meander through whatever takes my fancy - be it a garden, a market or bushland. Indulge & invest the time in meaningful & meaningless conversations with my kidz, husband, friends, family, loved ones & randoms. I'm as simply complex and as individually unique as everyone else in the world!

PHILOSOPHY

Learn & practice tolerace; If U say something - mean it eg. I'm sorry; B kind 2 others, 2 yourself & the environment U R currently in - all 3 will thank U 4 it in the future. Give more than U take & help as many people in whatever small way that U can, in as many things that U do as possible - There will be times when U need 2 take more than U can give & thats OK as long as U restock the store as soon as U can; - Karma is real. Realise that it's OK 2 make mistakes.. but B humble about it. We R not perfect, we R not saints & we can B selfish, arrogant, ignorant & stupid - thats fine, just don't dwell on it. Live it, deal with it & move on - don't let it hinder your journey.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've seen people walk away unscathed from incidents that should've taken the breath from their body. I've birthed and nutured life and I walk everyday with my eyes, mind & heart open. In my book thats pretty amazing.

教，学，和分享

Teach... whatever you know - it may all benefit someone some day. Learn... something new every day of your life - most of all learn 2 look after yourself. Share... yourself, & lifes essentials - food, water, shelter, warmth. Occassionally share advice ...like... Never go 2 bed angry - not with anyone - including U!
