Wow. What a magic 3 days. Like everyday I enjoy most days, but the last 3 days have been great. Discussing food, friendship, relationships, future and past, all spent with a friend, and driving 1600kms all for a 3 hour event.
Yep. Being rural you are used to travelling for events that aren’t always held around your home town. This time, we went to Townsville to listen and watch 2 lovely ladies that have inspired me for many years. Their names, Jo Whitton from Quirky Cooking and Elyse Comerford from her own practice, Elyse Comerford GAPS Practitioner & Nutritionist.
What was delivered was terrific, engaging and bloody awesome! Loved meeting them and actually being a part of a huge future for wholefoods, nutrition and bettering health for everyone.
I made this blog, Thank You Next, as I cannot wait for another trip like this, next time, a few more in the car! Of course it totally couldn’t of happened without the support of a great family and friends who helped with the kids. The saying of “it takes a village to raise a family” is totally true. It isn’t hard to reach out and ask for help, takes a little courage, but for the benefit of the traveler, having supportive crew at home, really bloody helps! I had mummy guilt, Sunday night and all Monday, enough to have a funny feeling in my stomach. Thinking I should be at home as that is easier, really would be easier but I would really miss another event that I could of thought that I couldn’t attend, again. BUT, I am glad my voice came out and went away. It has made me see that I need to do this more. To allow the kids to be ok with me being away (yes there were tears), the ability to attend an event or events that aren’t accessible where we are. Plus, it really was great for girl time and just able to be a woman amongst the crowds.
So thank you next! I must plan for the next trip or adventure (sounds more exciting) and yes, why not look for adventure? That stuff sounds soooo much more exciting than going away. Lets bloody search! There is a little place id love to visit but just have to see what pans out.
I would love to hear what your adventures are, do you get out and do some you time? Really create some time for you? Let me know!!!
Love you guys as always, Pete xx
