Making Memories

"You must live the life you were born to live" - the Reverend Mother, Sound of Music


I love the Sound of Music. It brings back great childhood memories, sitting with my Mum and Dad and some of my siblings, entertained for hours by this feel-good family movie. So many things inspire me to live a good life...movies, people, images, words. I came across a fabulous image of Paris a few days ago on Pinterest, which inspired me to wonder if this is how I'll see the Eiffel Tower in a few short months as I walk the Marathon de Paris for the National Breast Cancer Foundation...

Blisters and calluses

One thing I've noticed about walking for hours every day is the great physical fitness that seems to be building up fairly quickly. My body shape is starting to change as well, and I'm excited about fitting into some of my clothes that hadn't fit before.

What I'm not enjoying though is all the blisters I'm getting on my feet. Not only are blisters painful, but they've started to turn into calluses, which are not real pretty! If you've got a weak stomach, then you should probably close your eyes now. But for those of you who have iron cast stomachs like me, here is a photo of one of my blisters-turned-callus!

Talking it up!

What an honour and a privilege it was to be "talking it up" with Aaron & Erin at Sydney's Hope 103.2FM Breakfast Show this morning!


The thing is I had to be at the Seven Hills Radio Station at 7am in Sydney traffic...and anyone who knows Sydney traffic can sympathise with me :)
