A new, beautiful obsession.

positive number three

A week and a smidge into the new year of 2010, I touched snow for the very first time. Albeit crappy and old, Janelle and I ventured toward Milford Sound on our New Zealand holiday and found this just before the tunnel that goes through the mountain allowing you on the downward spiral to the Sound.

And so here is the proof! This was also my first time overseas, so maybe this positive is a double whammy? A late bloomer in regard to finding my sea-legs, but better late than never!

Fjordlands National Park, New Zealand
9th January 2010

Bloody cold, but a positive to tick off the list nonetheless!

my new love

... addiction, perhaps. While I get ready in the morning, walk to the ferry, am on the ferry, walking to work and sitting here at my desk this very moment... Ellie Goulding's new album BRIGHT LIGHTS is bouncing around in my earphones.

I'm hooked. Well and truly.

After discovering her via a post from society story journal, where she has covered Elton John's 'Your Song' for a UK Christmas commercial. It's a beautiful rendition, and I have been pleasantly surprised by her album.

Worth a listen. Maybe even pop it on your Christmas wishlist!

oh nostalgia!

I found this image while perusing new blogs this morning. This is from a lovely blog called modern nostalgia. The name is self-explanatory really, and if your up for a little daydream or just want to float through a blog - then this is the one for you.

I particularly like this one as it reminds me of my Grandma, the gorgeous golf tycoon she was... and the days when I played golf. Yes, it's true. I even won a tournament.

Makes you go to vintage glam-up and hit the course doesn't it?

positive number two

This year, I got to see my little brother graduate from the RAAF Advanced Flight Training School in Perth.

The wee man duxed his course and walked away with four awards, including the most proficient and skilled in aerobatics, navigation, instrument flying and night flying.

I seriously couldn't have been a prouder older sister.

Now it's on to jets Maverick!

Definitely too cool for school.

positive number one

I haven't laughed so long, or so hard than with my little sister Amy, this year. It has been a long time since I've giggled and cacked uncontrollably... even fallen in a heap of laughter on the supermarket floor.

It is true - laughter is the best medicine.
Great sister's are too.

the most wonderful time of the year

Can you believe it's December 2010 already? A year and a half ago I began my little blog, to place my creative rambles and recently share some of my personal work.

This year, I have met some amazing people who have inspired me no end, celebrated with friends and family and now the most wonderful celebration of the year is upon us.

Whether you believe in God or the significance of the holiday season, take time to appreciate all the good things that have come your way this year. I'm going to try and name a positive experience or happening every day this month, here on my blog. Could I encourage you to do the same?

Happy December, Happy Holidays, Happy celebrating!
