    How do you feel about cold weather?

    I live for the sun.

    The sun is so much more fun!

    Beach life and outdoor living is what is important.

    We all live for the sun and summertime.

  • Waltzing Matilda

    Waltzing Matilda Oh! there once was a swagman camped in the Billabong, Under the shade of a Coolabah tree; And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling, ‘Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.’ Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda, my darling, Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me? Waltzing Matilda and leading a water-bag – Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me? Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water-hole, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him in glee; And he sang as he put him away in his tucker-bag, ‘You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!’ Down came the Squatter a-riding his thorough-bred; Down came Policemen – one, two, and three. ‘Whose is the jumbuck you’ve got in the tucker-bag? You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.’ But the swagman, he up and he jumped in the water-hole, Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree; And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the Billabong, ‘Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!

  • Broken Cheek

    Have you ever broken a bone?

    Two years ago I went in for my dental check up and was surprised to be told that I had a cyst in my check bone. After getting it checked by a specialist I was advised that I would have to have it removed . The only way of getting this done was to break my checkbone and have it removed. After having day surgery I had it successfully removed and I now walk around with a plate in my left cheek bone!

  • Work and Home Life

    How do you balance work and home life?

    The key is having goals in both areas of your life and switching off. Do not bring either to the other. If you are at a family dinner be body and soul 100% there. Likewise if you are at a work meeting be 100% there. Teaching spiritually and mentally to live in that moment of surrounding is important.

  • Sacrifices

    What sacrifices have you made in life?

    Whatever I have had to do to get ahead in life and achieve my goals for myself family and friends I will sacrifice whatever it is to get there. In the past I have done without many things to get to wherever I have had to go. Having a purpose in life and goals is a true compass for your mental and spiritual mentality.
