laying it all on the line


*via quote book
"This is currently my truth.
Already I have changed several things that needed
changing, and on the horizon are many more
challenges. I can see them coming.
And I welcome them.
I didnt choose this life to become a passenger,
I am most alive when I grab the wheel and
steer my own course, chart my own life.
I dont want to just sit back and see what happens.
I have dreams, I have goals.
I want to explore.
And nothing will hold me back anymore."

Nature Weekend

I sometimes forget what I am missing until I find it again.
This long weekend I have spent discovering and rediscovering various things about the peninsula.

Exploration notes:
-Swim at Safety Beach.
-7km walk at Pt Nepean, exploring all the old forts and tunnels from WWI.
-Snorkelling off the rocks at Mt Eliza and found various fish for company.
-Explored the whole of the Safety Beach marina, including all the new sections just opened.
-Bushwalk around the reserve at the top of Dromana.


It felt good to be able to get back to nature and push myself once again. I grew up around here, and it will always feel like home to me. It really is something special.

I was lost... and what I found.

I wasnt lost in the physical sense, but I was lost on my path in a spiritual sense. I wandered all along the canal and decided to see where the water ended up. So I walked to the end where nothing lay and then back to the start again, stopping along the way to sit on various benches underneath trees and to feel leaves etc. I ended up at the ocean. Then I followed the wall and danced upon it like a child again. Suddenly I stopped to listen to the ocean and look at the view and when I looked down I saw what is in the photo below. It gave me strength and made me think that maybe I am on the right path afterall. These are the kind of signs that I look for... and I have been lucky to have found a few lately.
I just need to believe...
