Well, I have reached day 50 of this blog! Not bad. 315 days to go – living as consciously and as present as possible while ticking off ‘bag list’ goals. A daring and mighty pursuit. The aim; to live in the now and make every day count. I don’t think I have ever learned as
BACK TO NATURE
LAUGHTER & GIRLFRIENDS
I am currently half way through a bottle of red and a fabulous natter with an old friend (well…..she’s not that old…!). ‘Proper’ conversation about the important things…..relationships, sex, travelling and being happy. Well, it’s what we talk about when we get together! Mid sentence I realised I hadn’t written my blog and am on
REGRETS OF THE DYING
A friend shared this story with me which appeared in The Guardian newspaper recently. It is touching and EXACTLY what the Bag List is all about. Please read it and take action. It has reminded me of some areas of my life that I need to take action on. I particularly like the idea of
SPRING IS NEAR
Spring was most definitely in my step today. I felt so happy when I woke up and it continued all day long. The sun was up early, I noticed snow drops are popping up all over the garden, the radio played all my favourite songs, the sunset was the colour of candy floss and the
WHAT’S YOUR STORY?

It would be remiss of me not to pay attention to the fact that it was Valentine’s Day today. I am not a bitter single gal who hates to see people enjoying Valentines. Not at all. If you are loved up, I am stoked for you. Truly. When the day comes that I am
DOMESTIC HEAVEN
I read a few chapters of a book a few months ago by John Demartini called, ‘How To Make One Hell Of A Profit and Still Get In To Heaven’. My friend was reading it and I snatched it for an hour and read some rather thought provoking concepts around money. I wish I had
DO WHAT YOU LOVE!
I have spent much of today basking in a glorious sense of achievement. I have felt truly happy and deeply myself as a result. My achievement was the trip to DisneyLand. Simple enough but it actually took quite a bit of courage and faith to book the trip, for many reasons. I had a variety of
DISNEYLAND – Part 3
I don’t think I have ever ever ever been as cold as I was today. That was NOT on the Bag List. Next time I will be more specific! I really got Finn’s hopes up for the Cars stunt show featuring Lightning McQueen. We had to leave the show early along with most of
DISNEYLAND – PART 2
What can I say? An absolutely magical day, in every way. You know, people say Disneyland is magical for the kids. It is. But I would argue that it is even more magical for the parents watching their kids. I was really taken by watching parents take pictures of their children with various Disney characters.
