Headspace

Is weird how we worry about so much in our life time and how so much can get clogged up in our brains and get us stressed out and worried... I've personally had enough of it.. So I made a packed with myself that I wouldn't let worries get the best of me. Seeing how that panned out was fun.. Still wondering how I swear there's a switch in my brain I wish I could turn of the worries. But some how my grip on the cross has help a bit yes I'm being Christian again.. But in my head now im starting to make me own way in what I believe it nice. I went to a well little church service this Sunday in Brisbane it was really lovely the church itself looked so out of place in the city around it. The service was really lovely as in was a adult and infant baptism/ confirmation not quiet sure... But it was great to be part of this families special occasion. They begun the service talking about heaven I didn't know where she was going in her talk but it was nice to just rest and focus on God for more than I have been lately. 

But why you worrying your thinking? Well a couple of weeks ago I was told that I would have to leave my job in narrabri and move onto Brisbane at first I was like huh okay then I suppose I delt with it thinking well maybe Gods plan is that he doesn't want me to feel icelated I didn't really know... So I left it.. It was sad leaving the lovely family I was living with but I was also excited for the next part of my adventure ahead. 

I arrived in Brisbane Friday and found out today Tuesday that I was being flying upto to carins tonight in Queensland. I'm staying for one night in Carins and then going onto a town called Innisfail I'm staying in a hotel called crowns hotel.  This hotel is also the place I will be working which means cleaning and hopefully bar work. But also I will be working in a cafe too. Hopefully also some work for my visa.

Beautiful moments



Seems we can't really predict where we will be in our life time and when were gonna be alive for that moment in time whether we good enough or strong enough to deal with the split second changes in our day to day life. We can glimpse a moment of happiness but whether in the time we will remember what we were turely happy about. I often find myself wondering how can something so small be so wonderful and how can something so big be just as wonderful. I'm thinking about the moments that we've captured as we've spend time with a friend or family member or the times that we've seen something amazing and out there. The amount of times I've seen something and gone wow to myself. Like is completely impossible I find to turely capture a moment or a scence and turely take in the whole thing in one image. I remember saying anyone can have a believe in something but whether they experience that moment that believe themself they won't turely know the experice unless theve experienced it for themselves. Take the stars for example I've seen the amazing ness of it all and tired to take a picture but still not be able to capture the stars in all there glory. Maybe all we need to do is believe e that what we experience can't be argued or challenged because it's out experience whether someone believes or not we've still expericed it in our own way. 

Maybe a moment we've seen know turely knows what it actually feels like experiencing that moment that memory that event. Maybe all we've got to do is live in that moment and try and try not to forget. It's like we've need for a while just to take a mental picture and believe in the relatity of the moment.

In a far away land

I felt like posting and sharing my sadness and the joyful ness of the Ozzie sky... 

I had a tingle in my bones this evening as I got out of the car after having a Chinese some how is don't seem to stomach them that well... Maybe it's the Greese and stodgy food that comes with it... Or maybe it's no Cinta... Moving on after spending a day cleaning and baking I've realise how much I miss home and how sad it's made me feel in the last hour.. I don't know if it was seeing my mum and cousin on Skype or being around someone else's family and not mine I don't know or maybe it's cause I'm mega tired and in need of some sleep ha I don't know... However I do miss everyone dearly or the time. I have to see in this way i miss lots of little things like hugs from my dad, my brothers and sisters silly faces, my mothers yummy cooking and how I can talk to her about my day.. Specially if I need a rant ha !! I miss certain people at certain times like one friend when I look at the stars without them or watch a tv show and there not there.. I miss smiling friends, there's been moments when random stuff has happened but after a while I don't remember what it was but all I know is that in that certain moment I thought of you.. Maybe it's talking about Miranda that I miss my sister and my sort of sister Katie.. Or maybe it's when I drink whiskey that I remember Ian or it's when I see a the dog and I think of Sophie or when I see the plastic snake I think of Laura, or when I think of hot sunshine I wish you were all here... Next time I feel like I should right all those memories down because I do have a similar memory to that or dory from finding nemo. 

I'm rambling again... So as I'm getting out of the car tonight I look up and I can't believe it the sky is like a blanket of stars that were labeled and places surely there not random? Even though it was chilly I felt warm knowing not only are there people over the otherside of the world whom love me but also I have someone whose with me all the time. I'm sorry I don't have a good enough camera to show you what it looks like maybe Ill try another time I don't know but you don't have to go far in oz at night to see the amazing sky... 

From the girlie whom loves to travel 

Lots of love xxx

From in the middle of no where




G'day, 

So I've been here for two weeks and what a fabulous two weeks it has been. My expectations have be succeeded, I've had so much fun in my first week enjoying the free time to chill and enjoy the beach sun and sea... Meeting loads of new people having fun on nights out and eating at random hours in the day.. Learning more about the oz way I love this country already. It's great traveling on your own because you can do what you feel like doing not what others feel like doing and most of the time I can find people to hang out and do the same things together. I've met many different. Cultures as well as many English people. 

So now I'm less confused about where I'm gonna be for the next few months. I'm not longer in Melbourne I'm staying with the melbournes.. Lee-Anne (mum), Nigel (dad), Billy (14) Paddy (12) Joe (10) Ana (8) I'm in a area in New South Wales, the farm house is 10 minuets from the local town Narrabri. They have four cats (buttercup, Cat, patches and coco) and six kittens which are only a couple of weeks old, As well as a dog mika. 

I got to see more of Australia when I drove across the country from one state to the next. First time driving in a new country luckily It was on the same side of the road but I was driving a seven seat... Automatic. Was good fun but a very long journey... Lots to see along the way enjoying the sunset and the varse roads and trees driving is so much nicer I'm oz than England as the country is so big you can drive for km and not see anyone else. We stop on the way at twommba and the kids got there new shoes. Then enjoyed a lovely meal in a local pub, Yes they've got pubs in oz. over the weekends I got the chance to see more of Brisbane City enjoying a ferry ride on the river with Lee-Anne and the two young kids. I also got shown around the shopping mall by Ana and Joe as I watched them play games go up and down the elevators. We also went to see smurfs 2 which had only just come out in oz. Also enjoyed dinner a place called Jimmy's on the Mall. Brisbane is a massive city I hope to maybe see more at a later date but here's some pictures 

After arriving here in narrabri I felt completely blessed to be spending time with this lovely family enjoying having a giggle together. When your not being mean to each other the boys a great to watch as they enjoy playing together on the play station and Ana draws lipstick all over her face to make me laugh. I had a lovely day outside with them jumping into the pool watching them all have fun together. I've be helping around the house doing washing, making lunch playing silly games together. Put the younger ones to bed making things together it's all good fun.

It's been really nice to meet more of there family over the last couple of days and enjoy shoot targets making earrings enjoying good food. 

Stay tuned for more on the explorations of Rosie
