FOUR YEARS LATER
FOUR YEARS LATER

I’ve been away for a while, and I’m sorry about that. If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, I don’t blame you. I’ve been relocating! And yes – it’s a relocation that’s taken me four years…

I'm struggling with my own echo... I feel like I'm yodelling across an empty valley and the only response I can hear is the echo of my own voice. I know there are people who an hear me and who would love to yodel along, but like other social media
In a few hours, I'll be home. ❤ I'm leaving the grey mists of Melbourne and heading towards the warm blues skies of Perth - and you know what? I can feel the warmth already! My tribe is waiting. There's brekkie with my besties, there's dinner with

I've been reflecting on my 'why'! Why am I doing this? 🤷‍♀️ Why am I throwing myself into a vaccume of white space hoping people choose to read or respond? It comes down to promises. So I'm going back in time to the first promise I made, which I
