Life on a Platter?

Life has thrown us a curve ball and I’d like to look at it instead as a ‘Choose your Own Adventure’ opportunity…

I can sense a new chapter and I’d like the Universe to be aware of the following options:

New Zealand

Inspired by a couple of people that I know who live in NZ, I would love to live somewhere that is magnificently beautiful – naturally.

How could you not wake up inspired every day with such spectacular scenery like this?

(well I know for a fact that this is ‘grass is greener’ talk as I lived opposite Bondi Beach for three years and stopped looking at it)

Teaching in Vietnam

This is what we had set out to do when i fell pregnant — I wouldn’t mind going back and actually doing it, I think it would be great to raise Monte in a country like Vietnam.

Not sure if I could convince the Cowboy for attempt two after the trauma of the first visit….

A house on the coast…. we would move to a coastal town, close to a big centre but far enough away.

I would write my book overlooking the ocean and Monte would draw lines in the sand while Cowboy would tend to his farm of …..dolphins… yes, he would become Dolphin Boy…

Actually I am not against the idea of farming — I would love to have a farm and have these guys on it

Musts : Simple life, Veggie Patch, somewhere pretty, somewhere a little Bohemian, somewhere where I can do meditation classes, get some Reiki, join a writing group – go to the theatre or the movies (how novel!)  with a few great restaurants and cafes.

Some place where there are beautiful places to go walking, a groovy little wine bar with live music.

That is all I ask.

I would like to make money doing what I love. I don’t need excessive amounts, just enough to be comfortable – just an acknowledgement that doing what I love is valued.

I would like to be fit and healthy exercise a daily part of my life.

I would like Cowboy to be doing what he loves.

I would like Monte to be doing what he loves – somewhere where there is a great school where the kids are more interested in playing with a stick and a piece of ribbon than comparing Dora the Explorer dolls.

I would like to have fantastic wonderful group of friends in this place……

I would like to feel secure in my role as a Mother. Oh yes, this is an important one -I would like to FINALLY feel secure in my role as a Mother – and confident in the way I do it.

I love it, but I need to own it.

I would like to be at ease with it all – somewhere pretty, somewhere simple, where I wake up in the morning and start the day with an ommm and finish it with a bath and candles – -

A place where the word anxiety means nothing to me anymore, where I remember to water my grass – love, live and just be.

There you have it.

I’ve said my part – Universe – it is your turn. (feel free to throw in any extras)
