I believe people are influenced by their childhood. The way you are raised is ultimately what shapes you into your adulthood. I look back on my childhood and feel nothing but happy memories. Sure, my smart ass mouth got me into a lot of trouble but I would not have had it any other way. …
Stirrups in Full Swing
They say when you fall off a horse to hop straight back on. What if you forget to hop back in the saddle? What if months go by and your hands don't pick up those reins? Well... That's what unfortunately happened to me. In 2015 I endured the stress of grade twelve and a part-time …
Overseas Certainties
One thing is for certain - I will be leaving the comfort of my own country. This will be my second time in Bali and I still find myself in a tangle of anticipation. There's something about planes that make me a little queazy no matter how high their safety rating - that's also for …
Astounding Australia
"Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises" - Pedro Calderon de la Barca I recently had a fellow blogger comment in surprise at the greenery featured in Sunday Serenity. I'd love to know what your thoughts are on Australia? What have you heard about my country? Is Australia on your bucket …

We have so much to learn from animals. They are everything humans are not. ...Like Max... We have known each other for less than a year but he welcomes me like family. At fourteen years of age he has started to lose his eyesight. He hardly lets this hush his bark or cease his bounce. …
Sunday Serenity
Instant chaos. Monday came shooting out of the starting gates showing no remorse. Today was no different. I fear Wednesday will follow their lead. I find mixed emotions towards a heavy workload. The clock hands fly through the numbers but yet when you finally punch out at the end of the day your legs can …
Barren Barns
American journalist and author, Hunter Thompson, once stated, “A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.” Procrastination. A stealer of time. We are oblivious victims on the daily. If I had a dollar for every time I said I would ride my horse this year I would …
Love in Little Things
Colour. One of the most beautiful things we see everyday but often overlook as we get swept up in the river of our own routines. A little bit of colour can change everything. Most importantly it impacts mood. When you really study flowers you can see a painted canvas of natures glory. I remember when …
New Here
I'm excited for what WordPress has to offer. I have always been someone so afraid of what other people think of me. It was only until recently it hit me. Why should I care? For years I've enjoyed reading blogs and thinking about posts I could be putting to action but instead I have pushed …
