Life has many twists & turns, ups & downs & good times & not so good times. For everyone.
Just because we live in a beautiful country with lots of wonderful people sharing our community, we can still hit the “brick wall” from time to time. I have just hit mine!
We had some time “off” recently, but we found out that a friend was diagnosed with multiple brain tumours so we took a quick trip to visit him & give our love & support, came back, had our shared birthdays (50th for me) & then I promptly hit that wall!

For me, its my time to take stock. What is important to me? What do I value? Where do I see my life heading? I have been told twice this week that now that I am 50 I can have a free bowel scan! A WHAAAATTTTTT???? Are you kidding me??? Has my life come to THIS? ha ha
No way! Life is precious. It is a gift. And to our friend, that gift can sometimes be taken away from us when we least expect it.

Pasha & Chellie sure bring joy into our lives!!!
Most of us don’t like hitting the brick wall, but it comes into our lives for many reasons. It is a chance to change course perhaps or simply stop, wait, relax, & listen to that silent voice within.
Write down all the things that you want to create in your life. Write down your hearts desire – your souls purpose.
Now, really feel that purpose. Focus on it. Draw it into your being. YOU will bring it into your existance. But you must FEEL it happening.
How are you feeling right now? Because whatever you feel becomes your reality. I caught myself saying a few times this week “Oh I am just soooo tired” then I realised I just WON’T feel better until I stop saying the opposite to how I want to feel!
There’s that wall again!
So if for any reason you hit a wall, see it as a blessing – an opportunity to reconnect with your souls purpose & desires. Then, as we reconnect with our soul – we once again find our true passion, our boundless joy & our freedom once again. Blessings to all.

Photo taken last week in the Heartland garden…. watching nature in all its glory! Hi everyone! Just to keep in touch & to let you know that Les and I are having our own time to rebalance ourselves and are back running on all cylinders for our first retreat in May (13th – 17th)….

My brother is going blind. I can’t imagine how that must feel for him. His life is getting smaller as he can’t drive anymore and no longer goes out much. He is accepting the inevitable of living without this most precious gift of eyesight. Seeing a beautiful sky…. and space…. how awesome! A friend…

As most of you know, we lost our beloved Will last year (Heartland’s “meet & greet” doggie), and we had all really missed sharing our lives with a 4 legged friend. I had been searching for the past few months online and going to the RSPCA as much as I could. However, there isn’t…

Cleaning up the driveway. This week, it was our “off week” from having guests stay – and also when we all work the hardest! Our plan was to move the horses & cows as Keith (Nicholas named him after Keith Urban) kept getting out and wandering, always reminding me that he thinks the grass is…

A Heart-in-the-Clouds! When I was 14 years old, someone asked me “what do you want to do when you grow up?” & I remember replying “just help people”. I thought at the time, “why did I say that?” What exactly did that mean? How exactly did I think I could help anyone (I didn’t even…

Some of us from last week – after our art class & enjoying the sunshine & the rainbows! Everyone gets a bit panicky about the floods in Gympie. But Heartland is up high & we do not flood. Occasionally the Bruce Highway gets flooded – but thats rare & usually only for 24 hours. At…

One of our guests blessed with a rainbow overhead at Heartland! During last weeks retreat, one of our cows must have got its horns stuck in a tree and almost ripped it off. So we’ve had the vet come twice – and he removed both of the horns. Unfortunately, the area became infected so Les and…

The January floods came to Queensland – we are fine here, but many places elsewhere have been severely affected. Our hearts go out to all those who have lost so much. I guess nature in its way, balances out… we’d had a few months without any rain and then we receive over half a metre…

My first collage for the year! I have created a set of 12 small cards that I keep on my desk…. things to ponder on….. things to remind me of what is important to me. I sometimes observe what people are doing to entertain themselves – to keep themselves “busy”, including myself of course! Heaven…
