100 Days of Gratitude – Day 35

My super dad, Ross Stockings, today celebrated his 1000th parachute jump today!  I’m grateful that he was able to do such a memorable jump where and with whom he did.  He and mum are at Batchelor, south of Darwin, for the 30th Territory Rel week, an annual skydiving event. His 1000th jump was a 13-way,…

My love, my dearest friend… I am so grateful for Lyndon, my dear husband of 15 years.  I wrote the acknowledgments page for my new book last night and could hardly see the page through my tears of gratitude.  Today was a challenging day, with a few disappointments and sad things happen.  Lyndon was so…

I’m so grateful for the frangrance of these gorgeous flowers I discovered in my garden today.  Maybe Spring is coming early… what a nice thought!

My friend Amanda is such a blessing!  I’m so grateful for her friendship and for our time together today.  Sometimes (when I’m not in the middle of a major project) I see her every week; lately it’s feeling like a long time between cuppa’s.  She picked Ethan up from Piano (with her son) and stayed…

What a fabulous day!  So grateful for a day out with Lyndon, a 90 minute drive to Mudgee – where the sun was shining and the Mudgee Field Days were in full swing.  We met so many amazing, inspiring people, which was my intention, including my gorgeous friend Lara Brett. (pictured) Lara is incredibly…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 28

Great food is something we can take for granted in our culture, it comes easily to us.  I’m thankful today for an amazing lunch prepared by Lyndon, lamb cutlets with vegetables… (this is one of the reasons I’m told by friends that they want “a Lyndon too”).   Along the same theme… I’m grateful for a…
