Woah, 2023! š¢
We started off the year so strong, so positive, so excited. Loving family time + making memories.
We camped heaps, welcomed a new niece, we fell in love with The Matildaās + the girls discovered soccer, I did some of the coolest work Iāve ever done, I married heaps of cool people, and I created Dance Dance Dopamine. Then I created The Stardust Squad, my most favourite favourite job Iāve ever had.
We marked the middle of the year with a trip of a lifetime, taking my mum to Northern Ireland and soaking up more precious family time, adventuring and living our best lives.
And then we came home and the second half of the year shook us. The stress of perhaps too much work, lots of sickness, a bushfire and then our unfinished home which almost broke us.
2023 seemed to draaag.
I just kept repeating, āI need to bring joy, I need to create joyā, and my big aim for the summer was a slow simple one in our own house, growing a huge amount of tomatoes in our garden. I needed to pair it right back to basics.
We eventually moved home. More hectic times. I planted my veggie patch. I grew the tomatoes. I brought as much joy as I could muster. We had Christmas in our own space!
And then after all that we were gifted a wee surprise to welcome us home š„°
Iām sorry if youāre in my life and you felt like Iāve completely disappeared of the face of the earth. I have š¤£ Moving home, juggling my weddings + feeling very very average has been tough. Hereās to 2024 bringing more energy, and a whole lot of joy! (And tomatoes!)
