So Life is mostly good I have been doing some driving around the country and just chillin out meeting lots of nice new people and for the most part am enjoying a living very free and natural ( I dont know how to explain that better) lets just say I have lots of time to explore and smell the roses of late

I am still seeing Rob and that is what it is ... I am not taking it too serious and dont think I ever will for the moment its just nice to have someone even if its not the "right" one .. we are just having fun hanging out and it will end when it ends

I have been taking lots of photos of the places and people I meet on this long road trip I seem to find myself on so look out for some more posts when I get the chance but not many of me I actually dyed my hair with streaks of red at the moment I know maybe some kind of mid life thing to try to hold on to my fading youth but giggles .. you know I am not that old ... am I

I am trying to get to melbourne soon to catch cirque du soleil show I missed them in the other citys so fingers crossed I will get that done !

Anyway Its anzac day today so blessings and light to all diggers and anyone effected by war in any way funny how the war to end all wars didnt really end all wars and history will repeat itself again and again ... I dont know the answers but worth some thought

All the sleep in needed yea!

I just woke up from a 12 hour sleep wow .... Guess it was just what I needed cause I feel great! Lots to do today I have a weight workout to do today then I have to clean my house before Rob gets here tonight ... I wonder if he thinks I am a neat freak or when he will catch my house in its normal state of crap everywhere lol ...

I did end up getting that massage late yesterday .. gotta say I am sure that had something to do with my sleeping .. do you guys get a massage? if so how regular ? I try to get one every couple of weeks but some of those are sports ones and they hurt not the kinda soft feel good ones that we sometimes need ..

Aunyway just a short post to say all is well in my world once again ... and sleep is not as over rated as I thought ...

Love and light
Sarah

What a Week

Well I have made it through another week and gotta say I feel like crap at the moment. I dont really know why I just feel so tired and run down maybe I will sleep well tonight (fingers crossed).
Lets see things with Rob are really moving along but I dont know how I feel yet apart from numb He has alot of good points but I can not really see it going anywhere to tell the truth I have told him I dont know how I feel and he says he dosnt know either so I guess we are both in the same boat on that one He is coming over for a sleep over tommorow night and that will be fun as long as he understands that it is what it is and and I am not promising anything but I have told him all that so he can not blame me if things change.
I am spose to visit mum and her bunch late next week which is stressful but at the same time something I feel I should do. I dont know if I want to do that either but I guess I will feel better if I at least make some effort.
Perhaps I need a massage in fact as I type that I think thats is what I will do perhaps visit one of the day spas that are around the place cause I feel I have lost some peace that my life is centered around.
Not much else to report I guess just life is kinda boring and stressful at the same time right now ...
I will try and post more I know I have been slack of late ... sorry

Thanks for all the kind words people
love and light Sarah

Really I Just Dont care enough !!!!!

Ok been awhile I guess???? Just havnt felt like posting

The last week has seen me grow and learn so thats gotta be a good thing well perhaps it started with an email from my mum ... yes my mum who I havnt spoken to in about 6 years and before that prob not much either now gotta say I was just about to delete it without reading it but felt worth the read I mean why not right. Anyway it seems she is real sick and wanted to see me blah blah etc etc ...

Why should I was the main thought that crossed my mind for a day but then I thought well hell I am bigger than that so I finally got up the courage to call her for a chat (see I can be a big girl lol) Gotta say I didnt have to bite my tounge as much as I thought I would maybe she is sick I thought anyway we actually talked for over an hour about all kindas of crap (I guess she dosnt really know much about me) anyways she seemed happy that called and she cried alot (drama queen) It seems that she is in a bad way and wants to make peace with me while she can (I never believe anything that comes out of her mouth so will see) but also told me that my half brother wants to meet me.. I totally forgot I had a half brother lol.. I dont really have time for all there bullshit but I didnt say that I am like well who knows maybe I dont know sometime perhaps. There is alot of water under the bridge so who knows what I can forgive and forget... I am not getting any younger myself

I guess the main thing for me is I just dont care. I couldnt care less these people are nothing to me and will never be anything to me ...

The phone call ended with with her promising to call me soon and perhaps meeting them all one day ... Do I really want to do this ?? If I dont will I regret it sometime ? I think not! but who knows

I guess I should explain that there is a long story behind it all the short version for those of you who dont know about my mum is that through her neglect and basicaly the fact that she didnt want to be a mother to me I left home at 14 to live with a friend and hes familay and really have only had minnimal contact with her seince then and the contact that I have had has been less than nice that is both my fault and hers I will admit that ..... But for now I am like I just dont care Its like people I dont know and have nothing to do with me for many years they are not part of my life have never been and will never be so whats the point!!!!

Shanaka Fernando was named Australia's Local Hero

Shanaka Fernando was named Australia's Local Hero for his work founding not-for-profit restaurant chain Lentil as anything.

The group of four restaurants, which employs about 80 young people and provides space for artists and writers, does not set prices for dishes.

Instead, diners are encouraged to pay what they can afford or what they think the meal was worth.

Mr Fernando sunk his personal capital into the first restaurant and turned it into a co-operative and youth training enterprise. Lentil as Anything has shown that it is possible for a business to be run on a socially responsible, idealistic basis and still be financially successful and popular.

The 38-year-old restaurateur, who was born in Sri Lanka and arrived in Australia in 1989, said the award meant a great deal to him.

"Hopefully it means the nature of what is happening through our organisation is important and will spill out to the greater society.

"I hope this award will inspire other migrants and anyone in the community who may have ideas that might not seem normal and which have no prior format to go ahead and try these ideas and follow your heart."

And on the eve of Australia Day, Mr Fernando said he thought to be Australian was to be "welcoming of others … to be encouraging of each other".

I Met Shanaka some time ago when some friends of mine and myself took a huge road trip from Sydney to Melbourne just to visit hes restaurant in melbourne I love this guy he has a heart as big as one could have and a social awarness that is everything I want mine to be! I almost cryed when I heard he had won an award (about time) and I watched him accept it on TV with in a most humble way!!! This man is great!!


Who would have thought a restaurant with no prices would suvive let alone bring some social change!!!

My heart goes out to you Shanaka with love, light and blessings to you my friend!!!!

Happy Australia Day !!!!!!!!!

Aussie Aussie Aussie OI OI OI!!!!!!!

I came from the dreamtime from the dusty red soil plains
I am the ancient heart, the keeper of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shore
I watched the tall ships come
For forty thousand years I'd been the first Australian.

[2]
I came upon the prison ship bowed down by iron chains.
I cleared the land, endured the lash and waited for the rains.
I'm a settler.
I'm a farmer's wife on a dry and barren run
A convict then a free man I became Australian.

[3]
I'm the daughter of a digger who sought the mother lode
The girl became a woman on the long and dusty road
I'm a child of the depression
I saw the good times come
I'm a bushy, I'm a battler
I am Australian

[chorus]
We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice:
I am, you are, we are Australian
I am, you are, we are Australian.

[4]

I'm a teller of stories
I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira
I paint the ghostly gums
I am Clancy on his horse
I'm Ned Kelly on the run
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
I am Australian
[5]

I'm the hot wind from the desert
I'm the black soil of the plains
I'm the mountains and the valleys
I'm the drought and flooding rains
I am the rock, I am the sky
The rivers when they run
The spirit of this great land
I am Australian
[chorus]

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice:
I am, you are, we are Australian
I am, you are, we are Australian.

Being Australian means so many things so many people At the end of the day I am so deeply Happy and proud to be australian. Australia has so much to be proud for we are growing up and continue to change but we all hold onto the great gift it is to be australian we may have come from many countrys but we have one dream to live together as one. As a country born from chains as convicts we welcome with open arms people from all over the world we offer a fresh start a new life!!!!

How Hard ?

Hey Kids well as some of you know I am back training! But I really have no goal at the moment which makes it hard as hell when you dont know where you are heading... I have started back in the weight room I think just to stop the boredem at the moment perhaps to get a nice girly 6 pack back for next summer perhaps to take on the surf again and maybe even enter a comp or something ...

I kinda retired from adventure racing about a year ago and I have loved the break no a year when you wake up with no pain when you eat what you like not what you have to. So anyway I am not going back to any of that crazy stuff but I feel the need to do something anyway in doing so I hooked up with my old PT this week and we started training again gotta say I am sore all over even my toes (what the hell is that about) its kinda fun and I feel fitter and more relaxed again

What dose it say about me when I have to run and lift weights and swim just to be able to sleep well at night .. lol go figure but I have noticed that this time I am eatting better and my body is loving me for it execpt I am getting vains coming up in my arms and legs not ugly ones like spider ones I mean muscle ones its kinda freaky when I finsh.

Am going to spend Australia day (aka invasion day) back at bondi with some old friends celebrating what its like to be in the lucky country and living the good life ..... Its time to show the flag and everything that makes us love to be aussies that means beaches and sunscreen to me oh and watching life savers and surfboys YUM!!!!!!

when you are yelling on the inside "ok shut up now"

So the second date went well but at one point I was ready to say SHUT UP! I mean this guy and talk and talk! The movie was great and the coffee after was nice but lets see Rob is a PHD student and well dare I say it part nerd! thats not so bad hes great to talk to but I need to be able to talk too and not just sit there listening to him crap on about bullshit ..

OK all that said we will prolly go out again I mean everything else is going well and if he can relax a bit then maybe we will go places .. who knows I will give him alittle time and just wait see.

Apart from that I am back training not for anything inportant this time just doing some weight sesions in the gym with a PT and keeping up with the running and swiming I really dont want to get into anything but need to keep fit! I think I put on about 5 kg over christmas period .! ouch !!!

Now they are already selling hot cross buns at the supermarket just another reasion to stay away from the big corprate monsters .. normally I keep well clear of them trying to buy from farmers markets and small shops but sometimes you just have to go inthere for something and I was there last week I found hot cross buns and its still Jan!! Easter didnt make you fat cause its only one day of choclete but now its like 3 mths of hot cross buns and choc ... omgosh .. the fat jsut get fatter!!!!

Still sweating it out here waiting for some rain .. and fires still raging but no longer near me thank whoever !!!

Love and light
Sarah

I Would Say Eccentric

I was talking to a good friend of mine over tea this morning he said to me "Sarah you will never find a man your too much of a weirdo!"
My reply "Weirdo! Perhaps eccentric but not weirdo prick"
"No seriously Sazz you do weird things"
"Weird to you maybe not to me"

Anyway I got thinking am I that weird!! did High school scar me that much!?

He gave me five things that I do and he thinks they are weird? I dont think so! do you ??

1. I randomly call it french day or deaf day or german day and then only talk that language for the whole day to everyone I meet or even online. But thats just about me keeping up my language skills so thats not weird! is it?NOT WEIRD

2.I sleep for about 4 hours at a time prefering to get up early then sleep after lunch then stay up late. Is that so bad I mean we live in a 24/7 world it makes sence to me.NOT WEIRD

3.I have never and will never go inside a Mc Donalds or KFC. I mean why would ya?NOT WEIRD

4.I like my Tea to made in order. But thats just taste isnt it! NOT WEIRD

5.I dont work I havnt worked in many years and have no intention of ever working a real job ever! That just luck NOT WEIRD

So I would say at best perhaps a little eccentric but not weird not at all!!! most people might say something different but then again they are the people who hate everything..


I looked up Eccentric"In popular usage, eccentricity refers to unusual or odd behavior on the part of an individual." Thats not so good so I read on "Eccentricity is often associated with genius, giftedness, or extreme creativity; the word itself is often employed to euphemize or invert a connotation of madness hence the phrase "there's a method to his madness", implying inscrutable complexity or originality in lieu of the dismissible randomness of common lunacy. The individual's eccentric behavior is perceived to be the outward expression of his unique intelligence or creative impulse"

Oh Tommorow I have a second date with Rob we are off to the movies and coffee should be great oh and its his birthday!! That is so unfair that we start dating and he has a birthday on the second date I mean I have to get him something but I dont know what he likes yet so its hard as hell .... I am thinking of a necklace that I like and hope he dose .. just something small.

Love and light friends
see ya soon
Sarah

The Smoke Gets in your Eyes

Today started so stuffed up I sleeped in untill 10am now I normally get up at 5 am so go figure anyway I woke up and smelt smoke lots of smoke my eyes hurt mouth was dry and sore .. it was not dark but not light either there was a weird orange haze over everything.. there were no bird singing songs nothing at all!!!!

I was in a panic now as you know (or dont know) I live on about 5 square km of bush land and its the hight of fire seasion even though we had late last year we are still in a very bad fire seasion here!! anyway I ran from my bedroom to see what the hell was going on ... OK OK false alarm its just some smoke from somwhere else most likely all the way from the Victorian fires or somewhere but sure was not the start to the day I had hoped for !!!!!

Anyway I just got off the phone from the my date last Thursday lets just call him Rob for now anyway He asked me out for to a movie and coffee next friday and asked me to call him back latter in the week when I know what I would like to see!! WOW hows that must say its put a huge smile on my face but still early days yet and I am just trying to tell myself that!!!!! But I guess I have to have some hope up or I wouldnt care at all would I ...

Not much going on I have been reading alot about Cambodia and I think I might base my South East Asia holiday from there at least spend a couple of weeks there.

Take care peeps
Love and light
Sarah xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

The Date...

Well last night went well I dont really know how well I wouldnt say it went GREAT but it wasnt CRAP either so we will just wait and see ... all I know is I am intrested hes very nice very smart and talks alot (yes more than I do) He dose have limited experance in the whole dating/relationship thing which might make things weird down the track. Well I dont know if weird is the word but diferent all the same I guess everyone is diferent thats just going to be one area that we are very diferent in... So nothing to report as yet .. just the waiting game .... I will give him a call on the weekend and see if he wants to catch up sometime soon ;)

Apart from that all is normal around here I am so so sick of summer. The Heat is giving me the shits!! I just long for a rainny winters day.

Nothing much going on this weekend either perhaps a poker game tonight all going well ..

So Another boring post from me I guess
Take Care friends

Leaving for Confest soon

So yes I am off to Confest again this year even Might be the last time I make the trip down so what is confest ????

ConFest (Conference/Festival) is a gathering of people wishing to share talents, skills, ideas, concerns and philosophies in a caring fun loving and tolerant atmosphere. The presentation of workshops, demonstrations, entertainments and the maintenance of site facilities are all performed by volunteers, monetary payment is neither accepted nor made.

Explore wellbeing ways - drumming, dancing, storytelling and friendly chats at firecircles. Make links with others. Relax among new friends. Share healing ways in hundreds of workshops and mini-conferences. Have an outdoor massage (over 30 tables). Go into the steam lodge. Have a swim.
Slow down in a safe friendly environment. Dance the nights away with thousands under the Southern Stars.

At ConFest, people often set up villages with differing themes, some of the villages have been: Healing Village (a wide range of healing ways), Spiritual Village (spiritual ways and ceremonies), Arts Village (all forms of art,mud bath and hot tub), Families Village, Spiral Village (drumming/well-being), Yoga Village, etc. etc.. Little is pre-planned and events happen spontaneously. ConFest is a very unique event and all attending speak of the 'ConFest spirit' as something very special. In the Music Village, and at odd spaces around our site, performers include acoustic, folk, jazz, reggae, world and indigenous musical acts as well as some circus, theatre, comedy and poetry on an open air stage. As well spontaneous music, dance and art events and happenings that can emerge anywhere at any time. Once inside, all events are free..

So anyway this is where I will be the next few days but most likly be home early as I have some things to do around the place this year ....

If you are going to Confest make sure you email me asap if you want to catch up I will be around and online maybe ????

anyway
Love and light net peeps

Getting old Sux !

OK I think I am finally losing my marbles or as they say in Australia "there are a few roos loose in the top paddock" or " a couple of beers short of a six pack"... yesterday I did something so stupid .....

OK have you ever done this ... yesterday I drove down to the mall .. about 5 km from my place or about 3 USA miles (i guess) anyway i did a small bit of shopping and then left at such time I walked home ... It wasn't until a few hours latter I was going out again and went to get in may car ... which was no where ... I thought someone stole it ... then it hit me ... NO STUPID YOU DROVE IT TO THE MALL AND LEFT IT THERE !!!!!!!

How fucking dumb am I !!! I think it must be cause I am getting old I mean 30 is like so frickin old right ?! maybe I need to start looking at putting myself in a home or something

Not A Real Fan

Im not really a fan of Christmas I guess no one likes the crowds or the rip off shops and I am yet to meet anyone who actually likes crapy christmas carols ... always puzled me as to why they sing about dashing through the snow in Australia when its 40 C (100 F in Usa language) and why people sit down to a full rost meal with all the trimings when its so hot !!! but go figure ...

Anyway Christmas for me is usualy spent alone I dont have a relations to go and hang out with so its generally a real quiet day here my memory is not bad enough yet to buy christmas gifts for myself and then wrap them and forget what I wraped ... so I dont bother I generally buy myself something in the post christmas sales but apart from that nothing .... I did buy a couple of gifts for the tree they have at the mall for kids who wont get anything I like that idea so every year I do that ..

I have suvived my last christmas party for the year almost!!! I got Pissed off with John (the same John fuck buddy) well anyway he pissed me off so I dont want to see him again .. I avoided 8 calls and 3 txt messages from him the next day cause he knew he pissed me off ... I guess I can be a bit of a friend narzi like that ... not many chances. Given to men who treat me bad!!

Anyway not much to post today .. bit boring I guess ... anyway will find something worth writting soon

till then
Love and light
Sarah
