I let you go…

I am renewed..
Thank you, always a blast…
Wrap Up….
Well it’s been just under a week that I finished up the challenge, what can I say but what a ride.
So glad I did it.
Do I miss it, of course, it’s what I love to do. Yet at the same time it’s good that it came to an end.
Yet it hasn’t ended it’s only the beginning.
To reward myself I now have a new camera, the little one I’d used most the challenge died just 2 days out. It was still under warranty and I had the cash to assist buying another.
I’ve gone for compact for I just loved having a camera with me all the time.
I got a Nikon AW100 in camouflage green , waterproof, shockproof and GPS which will be great when we are back out on the water.
Thankyou,
Namaste,
Good night..
Day 120………yeah….Sisters.
Well I have done it…
120 days doing what I love, and you know; I love it…
I have my sister, Glenys, and lovely Matthew staying with us.
Glenys and I are so connected, it makes me laugh.
I got a new wallet the other day, red, orange, purple…
Guess who has exactly the same…..
It is so wonderful, we know each other completely yet, I forgot whilst apart.
What a wonderful way to end….or is that to beginning…..
But in truth I have not, for I continue this gorgeous game with Jenny, on day 112.
Thankyou ‘my beautiful friend’ you have made me laugh, a beautiful, special journey that I know will never end….
We now know each other so completely.
Namaste..
Then at lunch Sally and Ross walked in,
it’s been a while..
Devine..
And a text from Marni,
“how does it get any better then this?”

The bat is a symbol of rebirth and depth because it is a creature that lives in the belly of the Mother (Earth). From the womb-like caves it emerges every evening at dusk. And so - from the womb it is reborn every evening.
Day 119 – Just Do It
What firstly drew me to the challenge was the thought “Could I do I”,
and now I’m a day off finishing..
Woo hoo…
Green is the colour of nature, fertility, life. Grass green is the most restful colour. Green symbolizes self-respect and well being. Green is the colour of balance.
Day 118 – Own It..
I dwell in the midst of infinite abundance..
I have just lived 118 wonderful memorable days, I know I have lived so many more.
But I have lived and breathed an amazing journey.
I am living it now..
WOW..
I didn’t take many today, the little ‘walker’ camera is gone, and the skies very grey.
So this is my picture for today
My passion is nature. Just being in it,
and I love taking photos that of which I have for many for years.
I have 1000’s many that never see the light of day.
So may I indulge as I walk the final steps of this amazing journey.
My favourite paradise so far found…Lizard Island.
So grateful.
So grateful.
Namaste..
Day 117 – The Challenge is….
The challenge for me on this 120day challenge, has not been doing what I love.
I love taking photos and I have been thoroughly enjoying the simplicity of ‘blogging’
No the challenge comes from stuff, everyday stuff.
I am without a computer again (not major, just some loose ends) and Rudy’s little camera that has been with me through thick and thin over these last 117 days has taken it’s last photo. I think yesterday’s walk in the storm did it …..
But I’m still here and I have learnt heaps.
Heaps about me…..I am stronger than I ever thought. I am fun and playful and I like me.
I realise that my passion lies in nature, just being outside fills me with a joy so bright, so right…..so natural.
I have learnt the power of a goal and the momentum behind it.
My next challenge is to mix the power of a goal and boost my dreams into certain reality.
…………..
Stay tuned for today’s photos……
Computer back…all good.
Day 116 – Wet season Walk….
The Cyclone watch was called off this morning but we have had a day of very heavy rains and wild winds.
Time to go for a walk…..
Divinely wonderful,
I like to call it travelling in the ‘other world’..
Like being in the world, but not of it.
a time to play.
Everyone one we passed were grinning madly.
Caught in the heavy rain, but the rain was not cold…
magic…
Day 115 – Cyclone Watch for the Top End..
Well we are officially on Cyclone Watch, we are ready.
I have moved all my plants inside,
Tiata is tied tight.
I wish all in the Port Keats area and surrounds a safe time.
We could be in for a windy time..

The ocean can be compared to our thoughts. What we send out will be brought back to us like the tide. The mermaids remind us to send out positive thoughts as these will be reflected back at us.
Day 114 – Still sitting under the Bodhi Tree…
Well here I am still sitting under the tree, sitting, watching, emptying.
Today we got away from work early and we went for a walk along the beach front.
It’s was cloudy and the threat of rain ever present but didn’t fall.
It was deserted,
and so beautiful…
As everyday, I do what I love. I take my photo’s I prepare them and they are all ready, I write my blog.
The funny thing with my computer now is that I am able to surf the net,
but cannot upload or download.
I see this as a message, that I will happily follow.
A time to sit and accept the ebb of life..
So here I be,
sitting,
quietly under the Bodhi Tree..
Namaste.
Day 113 – Sitting Under the Bodhi Tree
A Bodhi Tree is a symbol of the ultimate potential that lies within us all.
I have been sitting,
I have been sitting.
I have “Let Go”
and now I am sitting and watching.
Watching my thoughts,
watching the world around me.
Sitting under the Bodhi tree and just letting life Be…
My Goal remains and I will continue my 120days in what ever form available,
it has also allow me the ‘space’ to look at my dreams and redefine them into goals…
Day 112 – Fairweather…
Well for me the past two weeks have been messy for me.
Call it what you like, I’d like to call it a dance with the ego…and the ego had the lead…
Last night I surrendered completely.
I turned off everything….
Today I had a beautiful day reconnecting with nature, with me,
and though this has been somewhat public.
I feel at peace.
still unable to download and upload photos been on the phone with Telstra all night..
Will I get another photo up
mmmmmm
YES!!!!!!!!!!
With the full moon the tides are huge over 7 meters….the harbour was full..
Day 111 – Some days just don’t flow….
Sometimes life feels like it doesn’t want to play. What do you do, nothing, breathe and come back to it another time.
So I will be back tomorrow….
.Namaste
Well it’s some 3 days later – and today my internet has begun to work again..
I am so grateful…

I was awoken at 530am the moon was out. I watched as a predawn storm washed through but was lucky to get this shoot
Day 110 – The Sun always Shines
The Sun still shines when the rain is falling,
the sun still shines when the sky is dark and full of stars,
the sun still shines…
and for that I am so grateful.
Thankyou Sun..
Day 109 – Acceptance cont…
Today I will practice acceptance.
I have these words on the wall in my bathroom and stopped and read the words carefully before heading out into the world. It was a great reminder……
“I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as they wish they were.
Doesn’t mean I can’t find another way ; D
I have tried to post this blog 4 times, which is why I have a split post today…..
Day 109 – Acceptance
Day 108 – The answer is always Love…
Not having any luck with computers, mine has blown it’s almost new hard drive. A win is that it’s still under warranty. I then tried to use the (new) computer at work and for some reason it doesn’t like to upload photos to the WordPress site. So here I am on Rudy’s iPad, and the story goes on and on…..
So I will continue taking my photos and putting a start to my blog.
The answer is always ‘love’
Sometimes it is the question that remains unclear….
Day 107 – Computer Down….
Did my blog early yesterday morning as we had friends coming over.
Had a great afternoon, a good laugh…yeah the Kookaburra, and then was going to add the beautiful sunset.
Turned on my Computer and……………
nothing, grey screen with little timer…..eeekkkkkkkk.
So it’s in getting repaired and I and using the computer at work…
It’s not being kind…
On the way back I drove past Frances Bay aka: “The Duck Pond”
Full of working boats and trawlers…
106 – The call of the Kookaburra…
In the past two days we have seen Kookaburras – kingfishers on our morning walks. It’s been both Rudy and I so a message for us both.
Up here in the north we have the Blue winged Kookaburra, smaller then the Laughing Kookaburra and has beautiful almost translucent blue in it’s wings and rarely seen in town, we also saw a Forest Kingfisher much smaller and again translucent blue wings.
The Kingfishers message:
Self Expression. Able to go into the unknown without fear. Connected to past lives. Powerful teacher.
The Kookaburra’s message:
Laughter. Family. Wooing your partner. Sibling rivalry. Healing others and the self. Conquering fear. Ending old patterns. Turning hurt into happiness. Hunting down your own truths. Signals. God energy. Teaching and sharing your truths with others.
Lessons and Challenges:
The Kookaburra encourages Laughter hahahahahahaha, I’m laughing now. Laughter is positive even if we feel where ‘faking it’
The Kookaburra draws attention to our family relationships. It reminds us that family is important at this time of out lives. Do we feel honoured and are we honouring..
The Kookaburra is a profound healer and indicates one is going through a great time of healing.
Kookaburra is the energy of conquering fears and in turn, ending old patterns that aren’t nourishing.
From a light-hearted position, kookaburra encourages us to better woo our partners and our friends.
Information from Wildspeak Totem Dictionary
A wonderful message from nature, and as I laugh my way through the day I am honoured for their presence..
Some other sights from this morning.
A bit of a mix…still laughing..
Thankyou for taking the time to spend a little time with me..
Namaste..
“still laughing”
105 – Surreal Surrender..
As I humbly and joyfully serve the spirit of creativity,
my personal needs are met.
I love weekends, today we were up and out before the light of day.
We came across these strange looking fungus….they are called Lace Stinkhorn or Maiden Veil Fungus,
despite its delicate beauty, smells like rotten meat. Its smell is used to attract flies which help to spread its spores. It lasts only one to two days.
Day 104 – Rainy Night
Last night it rain and rained, it was the most we’d had for a while.
I’d been on the boat over the weekend, cleaned and aired her.
I was awoken thinking I’d felt a window open, I knew I hadn’t be it wouldn’t go.
Obsessive compulsive …..ekkk.
So I got up early and went down to give her a cuddle and to appease my crazy mind.
She was dry.
I went to the beach, it was deserted, wet and rugged.
I stood and watched the ocean, with the sound of rain dancing on my umbrella.
I was beautiful…..
Day 103 – Que Sera Sera
After yesterday’s blog, Animal Dreaming – The Void
I have found myself singing “Que Sera Sera”
The words ring so sweet…
“Que Sera, Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future`s not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be”
Dream big, and have fun in each moment along the way…
Day 102 – Animal dreaming..The Void
Today we were up early, and went for a early morning coffee at The Cool Spot.
It’s a grey day and the sounds of thunder echo from distant storms in the background.
Rudy heads into work first so he dropped me off and I made my way back home along the quiet almost deserted beach.
As I headed along the beach the threat of rain evident though I knew I would be spared.
On leaving the beach I could hear the majestic call of Black Cockatoos.
I turned, their were four, they flew towards me and dipped and circled above my head,
their calls echoing to me a message.
I felt blessed,
I made it home just before the skies opened above my head an the rains fell…
The Message of the Black Cockatoo – The Void
Some say in the beginning there was perpetual darkness a gentle void; a blanket of nothingness that tenderly swathed the Universal plains. Within the fertile emptiness the Great Mother stirred, as if waking from a eternal slumber.
The Black Cockatoo carries the Genetic Memory of this scared time and, within her Dreaming, comes the lesson of Surrender.
The Black Cockatoo demonstrates the patience that can only come when we accept that we cannot possibility know everything at the beginning of any journey and that the wisdom will present itself at the appropriate time.
Black Cockatoo Dreaming helps us take control of our life insisting that we grow at our own pace and learn what we need to know in our own time.
She encourages us to just sit in contemplation and wait for life’s mysteries to unfold without consciously seeking answers.
She urges us to confront our fears and to go with the flow and to embrace all new opportunities as they present themselves.
The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo which is evident around Darwin is also said to carry the energy of the Grandmothers. It is seen as a lunar – influenced bird as it’s red feathers represent the blood of the feminine creative force.

Day 101 – A bit of this, a bit of that….
The title says it all..
A bit of this
and a
bit of that…
Day 100 – Reflection..
Well I have reached Day 100 and it feels wonderful.
I know for sure, I have a passion for what I’m doing.
I love being in nature, it’s where I feel at home.
Watching the sky fill with colour or the clouds drop heavy rains. Noticing a critter on the way to work or taking the time to watch a bird as it circles high in the sky. Appreciating a flower or just the quite city streets on a weekend fills me with joy.
It reminds me of how lucky and truly grateful I am.
To be accompanied by my beautiful friend Jenny is beyond words. Though countries apart we have opened our hearts and connected with love and joy. We still have our trails and tribulations, yet now they are quickly banished infused with love and gratitude. To be a part of each other’s life is a gift.
It’s been a positive, beautiful experience.
Thankyou Jenny, I love you so much.
Day 99 – Sweet Sunday
A day to rest,
a day to relax,
a day to follow your heart and to do what you love.
May everyday hold a bit of Sunday’s essence….
Day 98 cont… The mystery of Clouds…
If you let your dreaming mind loose to wander about in the realms of clouds, you’re going to be saturated with loads of potential.
Our rational minds have no use for clouds
it is our intuitive perception that is truly in its element…
Dream BIG
Dream Often…
and have Faith..
Namaste.
Day 98 – The mystery of Clouds..
Clouds hold the symbol meaning of revelation.
Consider this: Out of the mists of our deepest thoughts suddenly an epiphany comes, a bright idea comes out from nowhere.
That is the gift of Cloud symbolism.
Follow your Bliss
Follow your Heat
Namaste..
Day 97 – Friday
Nothing much to say today
Glad that the weekend is here and I have a chance to relax..
Mr G has taken the leap….
He was a wonderful teacher…
Good Luck Mr G…..
Namaste.
Day 96 – The winds of Change….
The beginning of change can be like a cannon ball, life is flowing along then ‘Kapow’ something happens and it all changes.
It may seem small to the outside world but within emotions are flying, past hurts are pushed to the surface. The “why me” is echoing within.
We have a choice to fight, to stand our ground to stay hurt and lost in the past. To never be healed or maybe pushed aside for another rainy day.
To stand in a state of delusion.
Or we have a choice to let go, to let the feelings come up and recognise that change is is the air.
To ask: What do I need to know about this?
Then watch, breathe, be present, pay attention, listen deeply and focus on loving yourself.
Be creative with your dreams and know too, all is taken care of…
Choose well..
Choose from the heart..
Day 95 – Tutti Frutti Skies
So many colours throughout the day.
from light
to dark
to tutti frutti skies.
The colours of the wet season in the Top End..
Day 94 – Surrounded by Nature….
I am happiest outside with the wind in my hair,
surrounded by nature
and connected to life.
My first shot is not from today
but a snapshot of me
where I am most happy.
Surrounded by Blue…
May I indulge….
Yesterday I sighted a family of Bush Stone Curlews , so today I just had to go and see if they were still around.
They are so beautiful, as I gingerly walked towards them and they froze.
I did my best not to spook them, and all on my way to work
How lucky am I….
I sometimes hear there calls some nights, beautifully haunting..
Day 93 – Mondays
I’m back at the start working week,
the thought sneaks in,
will I get the time to take some photos, something that I’m proud of
will I get the time to do my blog
will I get time with Rudy…
will I get to….
and then I let it all go
and that’s when the magic happens…
Day 92 – 70th Anniversary – Bombing of Darwin
Today is the 70th Anniversary of the bombing of Darwin. One story that touched me so deeply, was that of 2 young girls aged 9 and 11 that were left behind. All the other Mother’s and Children had been evacuated from Darwin, but for some reason they were forgotten. I can touch their disbelief and fear.
For me it was 1st Grade we had moved from Sydney to Canberra. We didn’t stay long, about 6 months before we moved back. I am in a big family, I think 7 or 8 at the time.
To make it easier for Mum and Dad we were sent to school for a half day, I was to meet with my sisters before lunch break. I remember waiting and waiting, I thought they had left me behind. The fear that rose in me has not been forgotten.
To be left behind is a terrible feeling.
Then to find yourself in a war zone.
My heart goes out to her and her sister,
never forgotten….
A Bit of this, a bit of that…
Day 91 – How does it get any better then this??
As the heading states “How does it get any better then this?”
After years, yes years of procrastinating I finally took my SLR camera to have the sensor cleaned, cost $70 the result a clean outcome. MAGIC…..
Even better we had the opportunity to head out bush and use it..
We took a drive out to Fogg Dam which is a favourite of ours, we get to connect with what’s happening out at Kadadu without the long drive – 1 hour verses 3 hours..
And what’s happening: It doesn’t look like the normal “wet” everything is green and lush but not the amount of water that we usually see. What I love is the birds, and this time of year we have the vast open place to ourselves, to share and be with the critters….
More MAGIC…..
We then drove on to the on to the Bark Hut In at Annaburroo – I love saying that name..Thay have critters there too.
And the “piece de resistance” a Black necked stork also known as a Australian Jabiru.
I kept saying to Rudy we have to see one and as we were nearly back in town I looked up…
Day 90 – What is fear?
What is fear but a construct of the mind..
Fear of what happened in the past could happen again
Fear of what may, or may not happen in the future
I faced fear today and decided to sit with it.
it soon goes away..
For truly, right NOW everything is perfect…
and it is….
Mr G moulted again this morning, his 5 moult and now an adult.
I have been very lucky to have him as a companion, he is a constant reminder that one can only move forward never backwards or sideways..
I’m sure he will leave me soon and I bid him safe journey..
All is good in the world,
all is as it should be.
Namaste
Day 89 – Staying calm within a storm…
Some days bowl you over with an unexpected hook
what can you do…
stay clam, clear and non judgemental
focus on the love
see only light
and know “this too shall pass”
then look outside and take some photos….
Day 88 – The Tale of a Top End Storm…..
It’s the wet season here but you wouldn’t know it. The monsoon has moved away and is not expected back till the end of March.
The days are beautiful crisp and clear, but they are also extremely hot. The afternoons particularly hot, the sun beats down relentlessly. The thought of the sinking sun and relief from the burning orb of light plays on ones mind.
Tonight though we were treated to a short sharp storm right on dusk, the light was awesome and the speed at which it travelled though amazing.
It brought relief, a great show and for that I am delightfully grateful.
Day 87 – Happy Love Day….
Love, love, love
Love yourself
Love another
and all is good in the world
Day 86 – Creativity…..
Creativity:
the ability to think and create something new
and then to bring it to life..
We all have this gift
each unique and truly devine..
Best thing it can be whatever you like….
there are
NO RULES..
I first time I saw “knitted trees” through my dear friend Jenny who plays this wonderful game of creativity with me over in New Zealand and now something different in Darwin..
You got an idea??
Then just do it….
Day 85 – Sunday’s Child
Sunday’s Child is happy,
happy for the week of play,
happy to be reminded of the sweet child within,
just waiting to play…
just waiting to love…
Had a beautiful couple of weeks with Marni before her adventure to Tasmania and the unknown…
Have fun Miss Marni xxxxx
Day 84 – Saturday’s Child
Saturday’s Child felt blissful and free
nowhere to go and nowhere she has to be…
except BE…
HAPPBE..
Day 83 – Friday’s Child
Friday’s Child felt blessed
was awoken to the most beautiful clear morning
with the the moon still high in the sky
it was so still…
Friday’s Child decided to say “Yes”..
Day 82 – Thursday Child
Thursday’s child was feeling rosy and free
before she stepped out into the day
she blew some bubbles (doesn’t everyone have a bottle of bubbles on hand… )
and let her inner child is out to play xxx
Today I was drawn to the colour red it seemed like it was everywhere….
RED contains unlimited energy, heat, vitality and power. It’s a colour of enthusiasm, passion, sensuality, courage, optimism, motivation and achievement. Red can help draw money, new opportunities and prosperity into your life. It also awakens your creativity and assists to achieve your goals….
Thursday child had fun, happily playing for no other reason but to have fun….
When was the last time you let your inner child just play…..maybe tomorrow
Day 81 – Wednesday’s Child
Wednesday’s Child arose feeling melancholy
so went out into to world
and touched her dreams
and found joy in the infinite gifts that surrounded her…
as I am writing this blog I am listening to a whale song from Kamal – enchanted world, too beautiful xx

I always buy a butterfly when I feel I have gone through a transformation and not before, I was urged today to get this colourful beauty today.
Day 80 – Tuesday’s Child..
Tuesday’s Child had storm clouds
and danced in the rain….
made from chocolate……
Day 79 – Monday’s Child..
Monday’s child loves flowers…..
The Earth Laughs in flowers – Ralph Waldo Emerson.
A symbol of generosity and love when they are given away.
Day 78 – Sunday
Sunday means a lot of different things to alot of people,
it’s a pretty word
for me it means a day of rest, relaxation, peace and being,
to get out in nature, to play and to sing.
I like to live everyday as a Sunday…
Today included 2 walks along the beach ; D
it’s been windy all day
I had the most beautiful dream last night, my Dad was there. It was him but it didn’t look like him, he rewarded for continuing my journey. I was given a promotion and a range of new equipment. I felt myself well up with tears of gratitude and joy.
It was a beautiful dream.
Namaste..
Love you Dad xxx
Day 77 – Done by lunchtime…..
This week was a busy week, too busy for my liking. I have had Miss Marni with us and I have been unable to give her much of my time at all.
I felt guilty and out of sorts, I managed to show up everyday but it was a late night struggle.
Today I my shots are of our morning walk into town and around the Wharf area of Darwin, it was a lovely morning.
Now my goal is it get posted asap and enjoy the day.
Enjoy Marni….
and I’m done all before 12.30…..time to relax, time to chill.
Nowhere I have to go and nothing I have to do.
Amen..
Peace…
Namaste..
***********************
It’s now after 8.30 we have had a wonderful day chillin’ and chatting and are now relaxing after a beautiful meal together.
Day 76 – Light behind the dark.
We all have days like a gloomy grey sky
but if you sit still and listen
behind very gloomy face beats the everlasting light of the soul
bright. joyful and forever eternal….
yeah…..
Day 75 – Treasured Creations
A treasured creation made by the hands of a loved one
there is nothing better
for it captures a bit of them
and it captures a bit of you…
Today some creations that Rudy has made for me: my “Bee” ring that reminds me to ‘be’. Made from Crown (teeth) ceramic.
A piece of the Territory : a croc tooth from a Croc skull that we found at Malay Bay a deserted beach in West Arnhem Land and a local bore’s tusk, given to Rudy.
A shell which I found on a beach at near Nguiu on the Tiwi Islands north of Darwin, it’s detail perfect and it reminds my that I am part of the Sea

The Crocodile represent fierce protection and the Bore considered a symbol of sincerity, honesty, and determination.

As shells are from the sea they represent the vast expanses of the unconscious mind. Also this way it reminds me of the "tree of life"

This beautiful hand made creation was made by my beautiful friend Jenny and hangs in 'Elevated' a beautiful shop in Darwin
Day 74 – After the rain..
After the rain
the clouds break open
the day grows bright
the colours renew
it’s a glorious sight
and tonight blessed with a sunset to colour the sky..
Day 73 – Time
What is time, but an illusion
when we have it, life slows down
when we don’t, it flashes before your eyes
and yet, really the only real time is ‘now’
all there ever was
and all there ever will be.

I always like to find the time to meditate, I'm a nature sprite which is why I like surround myself with nature's gifts.
Time is the essence of all that is, time is everything yet time in itself is nothing.
Today it felt like I had no time..

According to Japanese legend, if a koi succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River, it would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement.
As you can see I love the symbolic world…
Day 72 – bubbles of colour…
the day was dim,
the light struggled,
and yet it managed,
and so did I.
Playing with colour
I look across at glass tiles they change colour with the light,
they fascinate me.
I feel like I’m on an underwater adventure,
with the fishies in the sea ..
Day 71 – The Wet…
The sky grey,
the wind caresses my skin,
waves crash upon the shores,
there’s a ruggedness to the Top End,
orange, yellow, red and brown,
a depth,
a strength,
a masculine power ,
a roar.
We have the wonderful Miss Marni staying with us for a few weeks. I moved out of my office as I wanted Marni to feel at home.
I have moved into the back room, it’s open, but I have made it comfortable. I have a different view and I have my space to continue my journey through the 120 day challenge without excuse.
I just peered around and on the window behind my a new friend, an adult grasshopper. I see Mr G still has a way to go and I am reminded to overcome obstacles efficiently and to be ready leap with faith and trust. A lucky symbol.
I love the messages from the world around me, little miracles..
Day 70 – A morning walk.
A morning walk fills my soul,
revives my body,
opens my heart,
and makes me oh so grateful that I am here to walk another day upon this Earth.

Myilly Point houses the region's only surviving establishments that portray old world architectural styles that were popular just before the second World War.
and to finish my walk…….
Thankyou
simple pleasures….
Day 69 – A Zebra Day…..
The zebra’s gifts include seeing in black and white, clarity without filters, balance, agility, uniqueness, power, sureness of path, keeping up individuality within the herd.
The zebra’s black and white stripes camouflage it against predators, who often can’t identify individuals in the herd. However to the herd members the patterns are unique from zebra to zebra, helping to identify one another – they are as unique as our fingerprints. Blending into a crowd without losing your individuality is one powerful aspect of Zebra. Zebras also help us to be supportive members within our communities. These abilities protect them from danger, as well as their agility and speedy.
The stripes also represent the blending and balancing of opposites, yin yang, harmony – enabling us to see a deeper truth.
Day 68 – Soggy soggy soggy oi oi oi….
We were treated to a wet and windy Australia Day morning after a couple of days of extreme weather.
High wind, lots of rain and big tides…..
Looks like most Australian enjoyed either a wet or roasting day..
Luckily by mid morning it had calmed down and we were ready to head out and see what nature had been up too.
Day 67 – Squally Weather..
A big low is sitting over the top of Darwin.
The winds started last night and it hasn’t stopped howling since then.
I’ve moved Mr G to a safer part of the balcony but he seems unconcerned happily munching and riding the wind currents on his ‘surfleaves’. He was good to stay on, he was going off….
Trying to get photos today could be interesting, heading down to the bus….more interesting….mmm.
It’s now 8 30pm the winds had eased of during the day but looking at the BOM site I think we are just about to get another hit of weather. Yep it’s hitting….
Looks like Australia Day for most is going to be wet, wild or stinking hot. Happy Australia Day xx
The photos don’t do justice the wind was howling all the doors in our place was rattling……not much sleep you had..
this must be Dr Dick
Day 66 – DeLuGe…
Well the rains have started, so far today and it’s 9pm Darwin has had 148.6mm of rain since 9am and that figure is rising as I type.
Rudy and I had a late finish so decided to stop for a bite to eat, and then, as we both had our big umbrellas we decided to walk home.
It got me laughing and singing….”singing in the rain” was bursting out of me, we were drenched from the waist down.
We were dancing in puddles and we were the only ones around.
The grin on my face; huge…
The best thing about the wet in Darwin is you don’t get cold, so it’s just funny.
Winds have picked up so it could get a bit wild…I hope Mr G can hold on….
Looking on the BOM site the clouds are circling around like a cyclone and at present we are in the eye….it’s all gone quiet…the rains stopped… spooky
Day 65 – This unique day…
Each and every day from the moment we awaken, we are greeted with the new, the brand new…..how lucky are we.
The mast array of colours that our eyes see are infinite….how lucky are we.
The view we look out everyday, always different from the last….how lucky are we.
Each face that we greet throughout the day….how lucky are we.
These are some of the many millions miracles that we are given each day, do you notice…..how lucky we are..
Day 64 – The wisdom of the grasshopper..
Day 63 – The Ocean…
I haven’t been down to the beach for what seems like ages.
It’s a quiet little beach,
I get to enjoy the solitude,
to be at peace with the earth
and commune with my loving partner of infinite possibilities,
the Ocean…..
Day 62 – Finding Inner Courage..
When you have a dream,
it’s easy to think it, to talk it.
But to embrace the dream takes inner courage.
Finding that courage,
that belief,
comes with self love,
and keeping the momentum till the end
creates magic…
120 Day Challenge
The challenge: Doing something you love to do, everyday for 120 days.
Why? Because we spend our lives doing things we don’t like doing, or feel we have to yet we fail to spend the time on what we love.
The Outcome: TBA……..
Day 61 – Stormy Weather la la la…
The wet is back in town….
With the recent cyclone off WA the normal weather pattern for this time of year gets sucked away.
We have had a few storms over the past couple of days but before that hot and dry.
But come this weekend the monsoon is back over us.
I envision some wet and wild walks woohoooo
We have our (big) brollies ready…
Day 60 – Woohoo my cup flows over….
I’ve reached the half way point, and what a journey of enlightenment it is turning into.
What have I learnt….so much…
I am powerful, determined and I have no one to please but myself. I throughly enjoy facing the page everyday and making something of it, whatever.
Some days are diamonds and some days are gold.
I have a wonderful loving friend that chose to join my on this wonderful journey of growth, love, joy, determination and friendship. Together we have learnt that it’s not about the destination but the journey of discovery and a beautiful devine discovery it is.
So my cup flows over and I’m only half way there.

little stories..
Rudy casting gold at work…..too much fun.
Day 59 – How does your garden grow?
How do you care for your the garden of your soul and those in it?
Regular weeding, and pruning?
Do you remove the rocks and sticks form the past?
Me, I sometimes forget to water it….
But when it blossoms it fills my heart.
