Lucky Thirteen

2013 where have you gone? only a few weeks left of this less than auspicious sounding year. 13 must hold me some luck though, as I have much to be glad for since turning 40.

I have a new job where I get to share my passion for our environment, and be inspired by those around me.

I get to discover new places

Meet amazing people

And spread the word about what can be achieved with those iconic hands.

Not only do I have a great job but -

Spring brought a wonderful holiday to one of my favourite places, exploring Wilsons Promontory National Park with a great bunch of friends.

and the lead into Summer has been filled with community and the joy of helping others.

More than ever I am grateful for our families good health, when those around us have had their lives thrown into turmoil by their bodies failings. To all those that are ill or injured I send our love.

I'm not sure where my blogging mojo went, but I hope it returns, perhaps in the new year. 

I am changing my URL so its a less work related name, hope you will come find me at

I hope 2013 was a good year for you
