Thanks for your encouragement. I am definitely feeling more centred and focused now, having got in touch with what I am meant to be doing right now.

First, let me say, that your comment about hand washing me knickers bringing me one step closer to buying La Perla had me in stitches! Favourite blog comment ever. I remember leaving my job to become a Jewellery Designer, but I was sick at the time. I remember having to endure Christmas time with everyone asking, so what are you doing? So annoying and I remember the pressure I felt. There needs to be more support for people to have the freedom to explore what they want out of life and not have to have it all together all the time. More “good on yous” instead of people knocking you or picking what you are doing. Luckily, I am well past people caring what i do, and I hope that you have found what it is you want to do and are now moving towards it. Keep me posted – I’d love to hear how everything is going for you. We are definitely on similar paths – I love people who have the courage to explore and do what they really want to do.

Love your work!

Your positiveness will see you regain your sense of perspective, re-evaluate what is important to you so that you can hear your calling more distinctly and see your destiny more clearly – enjoy your space as the universe is telling you its sacred.

I hope you find an apartment you love soon…. if you need wine, you know where to find it We have plenty!

Best of luck for the year ahead! x

I made a big leap myself at the end of last year, leaving fulltime employment to figure out what it is that I really want to do and then to pursue that.

Before all my glorious dreams come true, however, there has been a period where I had to think about whether I wanted to buy a coffee at the cafe today or whether I should save my $3 for tomorrow; when I was stuck in the house for days on end because I had to 1) save money and 2) be seen to be ‘researching’. And, one of the hardest things: I had to endure Christmas and New Year functions with family and friends constantly asking how my plans were going and what I was up to, when I didn’t really know yet or have the confidence to tell them that it was all a little bit uncertain/

However: you and I both know that times like this in our lives can shape our character. You have given yourself the gift of space to let your character grow. Your sense of self, and your writing, no doubt, will be all the better for it. When you are hideously successful in your chosen field, you will look back o this time with fondness and thanks.

So: stick in there and remember that every night you hand wash your undies brings you closer to a time when you are buying La Perla.
