Yes its me! I'm still here...

So, its been quite a while since my last blog...again! Almost a year *gasp*! I'm a bit slack with my blogging, but I believe I have a good excuse. I have a new job! (Woohoo!). Since the end of last year I have been working in a health food shop - A job which I really love! A job which has also inspired me to go back to study (Am I crazy!?...Yes...or maybe No...). I will be starting a Post Graduate Diploma in Human Nutrition in the next few weeks. 

Since working at the store, I have developed such a passion for living healthy that I want to increase my knowledge and skills so that I can use what I've learned from the course, my life experiences, and my Psychology degree, to help others. I'm hoping to become a Nutrition and Lifestyle Counsellor so that I can help others who may have lost their way to get back on track and start taking care of themselves they way they should. 

This new-found passion and this great new job have really filled one of the voids in my life. I now feel empowered that I have found one of my purposes in life. I really love helping others so I feel that this new career pathway is the best choice for me. Working at the store has also encouraged me to take better care of myself and become even more aware of the nutrition content of the foods I feed myself and my daughter. We are not perfect, we still consume some less than nutritions foods, but at least 80% of the time we eat healthy. 

This job is also very physical (surprisingly). Since working there I have managed to shed about 5kg! The job requires me to be on my feet and doing lots of walking (i.e. chasing customers around the store), and lots of unpacking boxes of stock and putting the products on the shelf ect. I also have to park further way. Our store is in a shopping centre so staff have to park in a specific carpark which requires me to walk up and down a pretty big, long, ramp - Often with a heavy trolley to push if I get groceries after work. So this new job has definitely forced me to be more active. 

What else has been happening in the last 12mths....Not much else aside from this actually (are you snoozing yet?). My daughter is approaching her 10th birthday, and she is very much the pre-teen you would expect her to be. Lets just say the word "attitude" is an understatement! When chatting with my fellow Mummy friends, I often refer to living with her as living with Jekkyl and Hyde and I never know who I am going to get! She keeps me on my toes (and probably gives me some grey hair!). 

I have still been working on my other passion - my music. I still regularly (well, fairly regularly) upload videos and recordings to my YouTube page. Feel free to check it out, I think the link is somewhere on my Blog....Might need to go on a bit of a 'Where's Wally' hunt to find it ;)

I am still yet to find my Prince Charming....I feel like I only have one void left in my life and that spot is left to be filled by him. I am hoping he is just around the corner, or so I am told. Although I do feel like I am walking in circles, which would explain why I haven't found him around any corners! But they say good things come to those who wait, so hopefully my good guy (i.e. Mr Perfect) is on his way. I just wish he would hurry up a bit! I believe everything happens for a reason and when the time is right, so as lonely as I get, I believe (I hope!) he will be worth the wait. 

Ok, I believe I have bored you enough (if anyone even reads this blog anymore). Thank you for reading, and hopefully it wont be too long before I update again. Although, I guess the lapse in blog posts has given me something to talk about! 

Until next time, take care of you.

Peace,

Jay
