Yes, I'm still here!

Hi all,


I'm not sure if anyone actually follows my blog anymore, which would make sense given that I have been very slack with updating it! I thought I would amend that today and say hi and give you a bit of an update.


Feeling inspired after reading my sister's blog, I think I'm going to shift the focus of my blog to focus a bit more heavily on my music. Although I am only an amateur in the field, it is something I am very passionate about and that I love talking about. So much of my posts now will centre on my music projects, artists that I love and want to show support too, and updates on any new song-writing projects. I'll also include a little update about what has been happening in my life, if anything there is anything interesting enough to share :~). 


So, what have I been up to since my 'New Years' blog post???....I have been trying to get through my last Semester of Uni (yay, there is a light at the end of the tunnel after all!). I have two subjects this Sem. and then I will have finished my degree! Where it will take me when I graduate, I have no clue, but I am excited to see what the future holds for me. 


Another big life event crept up on me last month...I turned 30! Yes, the big 3-0! I headed into it feeling very anxious (why I dont know), but I survived it thanks to my wonderful family, and my fabulous sister who threw me a kick-ass "Almost Got Talent" themed party! I also headed into my 30's feeling disappointed that I hadn'tb achieved the things that I had set out ot achieve, but I came out the other side realising that I have achieved more than I realised. I am an independent, strong, woman, who has been raising a daughter on my own, I have put myself through University and am about to graduate, and I have overcome aspects of my shyness to do things I never thought I would or could. I have shared my music openly with people and let them see a side of me that I always kept hidden. I have been rediscovering my passion for song-writing and have been writing original songs and recording them (albeit in an amateur fashion) and have even uploaded some to YouTube. Just under a year ago I also rediscovered my passion for playing guitar, and picked that up again and have been self-teaching myself to play again. I also lashed out and bought myself a new guitar which I am very much i love with (who needs a man haha). I have been recording (on my iPhone lol) myself covering songs I love, and have even uploaded some of those to YouTube as well. My dear friend and I (she also shares my passion for guitars and music), have even been brave enough to attend some music lessons with the Stars & Idols music company here in our local town. So, when I look back, I realise that whilst I may not have achieved the things I had planned to achieve, life had other plans for me and set me on a different path where I was able to achieve other goals I never thought I would have the chance to achieve. So this is why my blog will now focus more on my musical pursuits :~).


What else has happened so far? I have achieved some progress towards my weightloss goal, though it is a very bumpy road at times and sometimes it is hard to stay on track. But I know I will get there slowly. 


My beloved daughter Indi is now in Year 3 at school and is doing extremely well so far! Because she is now in Yr3 she will also have to face the dreaded NAPLAN testing; a cause of much undue stress and anxiety for the kids and parents alike. So we'll see how that goes and I will update you on that Im sure. 


Well, I think that is about it for the updates for now. I'm in the process of editing this page so watch this space and hopefully I can turn this blog into something that is visually and intellectually stimulating, and failing that just plain entertaining.
