Getting back to Blogging

Roy and I decided that it was time to get the old blog back up and running over the Christmas, New Year break. We had

AS SEEN IN & PARTNERED WITH

INSTAGRAM

Somethings are just meant to be. We have just lock

Somethings are just meant to be. We have just locked in somewhere to live in Fort William for when we arrive.

Hooray 🎊🎊

Up until yesterday we were going to be moving every 3-4 days around the area in bed and breakfasts, airbnb's and hotels.

Finding a place is tough going over there, rentals are almost non-existent, we thought we could buy instead however we don't have credit history.

However a series of events has taken place over the past week which has led us to finding a flat. There was some serious happy dancing last night.

This is the reason our visas are taking so long. I knew there was a reason and I'm beyond happy to have a solid stepping stone for our family.

Such a weight off my shoulders.

Now to those visas...

Fingers crossed by Wednesday we hear something, anything. It's 12 weeks 🤞🤞🤞

Yesterday I was Shit. Fed up and frustrated, my head was angry and I couldnt shake it.
It's been 11 weeks now waiting for theses visas and to be fair I have really been anticipating them since week 8 and still nothing.
I'm fighting the battle of enjoying my remaining days in Australia with frustration of not knowingbor getting anywhere.
Thank Fuck next week is the 12th week it should be over by then. I might know something, I can plan for something and I can chill out.
Anxiety has been my worst enemy the past 3 weeks and more so the past week.
Today I spent 3 hours in nature. I feel better though my belly is doing knots. It's tough. It's exhausting and I know what is on the other side is awesome but there are days that just get the better of me - yesterday was one of them.

Fingers crossed

What a Fucking Week! Holy Shit Balz! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been feeling a little out of whack, it's week 10 of the visa saga (I guess it will happen in the next 2 weeks now) but the wait is overrated and I'm losing my excitement for our upcoming adventure. The Tour De France has ended, there is no more Masterchef, my daughter has gone back to school and is being treated like shit (she is chucking a sickie today), I went to the chiro to fix my arm as it had been causing me a few issues, I ran head on into someone who pulled out of me in my mother-in-law's car. I've been spending most of my time now on the couch. The chiro this morning put me back together, cracked my back into place and popped my sternum back out, it was intense and necessary. I'm moving slow while my nerves regain strength. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOWEVER. I ran into a friend this morning and she asked me what does it all mean?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, the only thing I am witnessing is that I have changed and evolved so much that I am no longer the person I once was or defined by my childhood, I handled the car accident like a graceful swan, I have surrendered to being looked after completely, I dont blame anyone for the accident, I am at peace with what has unfolded. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Former me would have reacted to the car accident in such a different way - There would be far more anger, blame, hate and revenge to get back what was mine. Urgh, that person has left my being completelu - thank goodness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Zen is where it is at and that is where I am at too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This lesson has been welcomed with open arms. As I move through this transition, I'm finding my voice again, it has a new tone where Iam celebrating who I have become. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm excited about what is to come but there is still work to be done before I leave. And this weekend we have a FULL MOON in Aquarius, what a time to dive into releasing the old and celebrating life's lessons.

I feel like I'm officially backpacking again. My f

I feel like I'm officially backpacking again. My first adventure was funnily enough to the UK when I was 20. I spent two years over there and most of that was in Edinburgh. Over the years I've continued to travel.

There is something magical about going with the flow and having that sense of ultimate freedom. Decisions are made usually on the spot and you take action on what lights you up.

I'm currently floating in that space while we wait on our visas so I've decided to take it in my stride.

My days look like this:
> chasing the sun
> walking/running daily
> endless cups of tea
> homeschooling
> creativity where I'm planning the next phase of my biz
> journaling

Mixed with chillin

Life without the responsibility of owning a car, having a house or the daily grind feels good.

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday with a bushwalk

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday with a bushwalk and lots of delicious food.

Each year I try and go somewhere for my birthday because I love experience over things. Last year it was Lightening Ridge, the year before O'reileys and the year before that was Yamba. Usually it's a time for deep reflection on what the next year of life is going to look like. What I want to change, habits I want to drop but also pick up to become my new normal.

This next year around the sun is going to look a whole lot different, bring on Scotland. But Adventure is my word of focus. I've got a lot I want to achieve and it's going to be wild making it happen

So let the adventures begin.

The current situation: living out of our bags whil

The current situation: living out of our bags while we wait for visas. Urgh, let me tell you it's starting to become a little frustrating. It's been 8 weeks and we have heard nothing.

Which means we can only plan ahead a week at a time. It's testing our ability to surrender.

Next week I'm sending Isla back to school while I start homeschooling Harlan before his transition to big school.

I've wrapped up all my 1:1 clients this week. The whole Woman community is in a state of organic flow. I'm going to put biz on hold for the time being.

It's wild!

Please send us some get your visa vibes 🤞🤞🤞
