Praise be to Blog

I am in a strange and wonderful place at the moment.

I have this inner sense of calm that I am where I need to be within myself.

God it's a good feeling!

I am running on intuition and it seems I keep meeting the right people at the right time.

It is hard to explain.

I find when I go with my 'feeling' rather than my head I get to where I need to be quicker.

I'm not sure how I am doing it - but I like it.

I just feel blessed to have met so many wonderful people.

No, they aren't in this one horse town (though yes there are some nice people here) - they are the people reading this.

YOU.

Honestly - the people I have met since becoming a blogger and joining writing networks such as She Writes and Blogher and Blog This- is incredible.

I really hope one day to meet many of you in person.

That would be excellent.

Today Alice Grist who I interviewed here (then cheekily hinted at a tarot reading) came to the party and I received a personalised reading from her.

This was a great honor particularly as I am still yet to get my hands on her book - the High Heeled Guide to Enlightenment.

Would you buy it for me for Christmas please?

I will post about my reading from her soon - but this post is about the wonderful 'stuff' and people that is happening and I am meeting.

The other thing is I have become a contributor (but haven't contributed yet) on a blog called Writers Rising, this was founded by a very inspirational lady - Katherine Jenkins who is the author of the site Lessons from the Monk I married.

It is a site for writers to share their work in a supportive atmosphere.

Let me know if you are interested in joining the ranks!

I am so inspired by Nikki a) because she lives in New Zealand and it looks beautiful (and now the Cowboy and I are seriously considering moving there) and b) because she is going to India.

I have ALWAYS wanted to go to India.

ALWAYS

I love the book Holy Cow by Sarah McDonald and I am a new recruit to the blog Lost and Found in India IN SPITE of the fact the author Braja is too busy to be interviewed on my chronicles :-)

I have a friend that OWNS a holiday cottage in GOA - how cool is that? I keep telling her one day, oh yes one day - when I feel confident enough to take Monte to the hectic charms of India - we will stay there.

Oh and Sarah Wilson - popular columnist, tv identity and social commentator has agreed to an interview for my blog - as in Women who do what they love.

I am stoked.... that is coming up soon

There has been heaps of other stuff inspiring me lately.... I can't think of it all now...

But honestly - thank-you because it has been the blogging that has sparked off this sense of contentment and almost.. enlightenment (??!!) in me!

Yes I feel enlightened ( a little)

Praise be to Blog!!!

Jack (the dog) receives Indian Head Massage

This was back in the day where I worked on the farm for a month... hence my charming attire!

I felt sorry for the working dogs (and myself) because it is so damn hot working on a farm in the middle of Summer!

So, come "smoko" time they were able to visit the Dog Day spa (aka some old shed) for an Indian Head Massage. Truth be known, I still am not sure what an Indian Head massage is - it just felt right to name it this...

Sadly, Jack who features in this clip passed away last year. He was the Cowboy's favourite dog. I'm glad I was able to treat him to this ... he didn't seem to mind at all!!!!
