I got it from my mama!!!

A few weeks ago after more than a few wines on a girls weekend away I signed back up to online dating. I chose to return to my old stomping ground of POF and Tinder.

I’ll be honest I didn’t feel ready to go back out there. I felt like I was dipping my toe in. I didn’t want to commit 100%. I was terrified of what might happen.

So far I’ve fallen back into a rabbit hole of “Hi Sexy”, “where do you…

Same Love

Heya blogmates! For my US readers you’ve probably not heard about how the Australian Government is currently running a Same Sex Marriage (SSM) postal vote to determine the public’s opinion as to if we believe it’s a good idea to change the law to allow same sex couples to marry.

I wasn’t going to get involved in this matter. Aside from my vote I didn’t really want to step in and share my…

A little crush

So a man came to my house to drop off wine for me. Free wine. Wine he’d saved to give me because I mentioned in passing I like wine. He’s cute but I have no idea if he’s into me or just friendly. I’m sure it’ll all work out … either a little crush that will become a good friend, or something more.

How did I greet him? Like a virginal teenager who isn’t allowed to have boys in the house. We…

This captures my weekend away in Melbourne perfectly. Me surrounded by beautiful food, glass of wine in hand. Not in this picture isn't my bestie @reneekohncke who opened her home & heart. Aside from all the food and all the wine there was all the talking. About love, heartbreak, travel plans, careers...all the things. My heart has been a little fragile of late so a weekend away with friends in one of favourite cities was just what the doctor ordered. You're still my favourite Melbourne x. . . . #melbourne #food #melbournetravel #traveladdict #makingmemories (at Bibelot)

For someone who grew up in regional Victoria where the nearest ocean was a few hours drive away it amazes me how much the sea soothes me. Walking by the ocean, breathing salt air, marvelling at this view ... it makes my heart smile & my soul settle. . . . . #vitaminsea #beach #beachwalks #goldcoast #thisisqueensland #burleighheads #ocean #cloudsfordays #burleighlookout (at Miami / North Burleigh Lookout)

To my mum & dad. Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary. Thanks for showing us what true love is xoxo

14 months It's been 14 months since I last posted... I'm so sorry. So much has happened. There's been love, laughter, tears, dancing, 4 holidays (more on those later), three house moves, one job redundancy, one new job, one crashed car, one new car, one heartbreak, and one heart slowly healing. In the immortal words of Game of Thrones, "...let's begin, shall we..."

#tbt to my favourite place in the world: Italy. From the moment we met it was love at first sight. Like the best love story ever known each time I see you I love you more & more. I'm dreaming of visiting you again next year. . . . . #travel #throwbackthursday #italy #rome #colosseum #colosseo #traveladdict #travelphotography #blackandwhite #memories #truelove

You can always tell who the strong women are. They're the ones you see building one another up instead of tearing each other down 👑 (at Garden Kitchen & Bar)

Sunrise walks with the pooch. This is one of our favourite places. Starting our walk when it's dark & cold isn't great but getting the lake almost to ourselves is pretty damn special . . . . #walking #goldcoast #germanshepherd #walkswithpup #sunrise #nature (at Gold Coast, Queensland)

This morning I went walking along a path I've walked so many times before. I lived just 10 minutes south of this magic place for 5 years until I had to move. I also walked this path with Mr Forrester many a time. Today I walked this path with my darling friend Lisa as a single woman. It's been 6 weeks since Mr Forrester told me he cared for me, but he didn't see a future for us. It's been a hard 6 weeks & it continues to be difficult as I navigate out of the fog from a broken heart. But today with the sun on my face and the ocean beside me I remembered some of our best memories in this place and I smiled because they happened, not because they are gone. . . . . #goldcoast #coolangattabeach #memories #heartbreak #lifegoeson #breathedeep #walking #oceanviews #kirra #goodfriends (at Snapper Rocks)

Sometimes you've just got to look up & smile... even with all the darkness that surrounds us it's important to stop. To realise this life, this world it's pretty amazing. . . . . #lamingtonnationalpark #thisisqueensland #boxlogfalls #nature #seethegood #breathedeep #rainforest #hiking (at Lamington National Park)

My first big hike went well. 10.9km at the Box Log Falls track Lamington National Park. The majority of the track felt good to walk as we circled down into a valley. The last 3km were hard as we walked up out of the valley but we kept pushing. My legs ached Saturday night but after a good nights sleep I felt great yesterday. . . . #hike #hikingadventures #lamingtonnationalpark #trek #waterfalls #boxlogfalls #oreillys #goldcoast #visitgoldcoast #thisisqueensland (at Box Log Falls)
