Thank you 2024. Hello 2025

What a year! Now seems a good time to say that, despite there being a few truly dreadful personal events for me in 2024, overall it was one of the best years I’ve had in a long time.

I found hope. Living without hope isn’t really living and I’ve been scrambling trying to find it again for so long. But it’s back and I believe it’s growing. 🙌 Keep it coming!!

Highlights

I continued on my path, publishing my second novel, The Red Line. Then I got my next book underway.

I traveled to the outback, visited the Titanic exhibition, the Enchanted Garden, and more.

Plus the heart stuff

My children and I were all together for the first time in nearly a decade, I saw more of family, and I’m building new friendships. 💕

I couldn’t be more grateful for that.

I did lose my best fluffy buddy, Lucien. Even though I still feel a pang of pain and panic when I think about him being gone, my practice has been transforming it into hope and love for life. ❤️‍🩹 And that’s working quite well for me.

He’s missed, but at rest.✨

Well, here’s to 2025 being an amazing year for Australia, for the world stage, and for us all personally.🥂

Cheers, lovelies. 💝
