My Favourite Space

I love to watch the Sunrise on the 1st day of every month - so today I head to My Favourite Space down at the beach.  This spot has only recently captured my attention and captured my heart - especially after the quality time today - sitting in the space and then happily exploring.  Let me introduce you to My Favourite Space.

I just love this spot - beautiful grassy space, overlooking the water - plus there is a small area of beach and a beautiful rocky terrain to view and explore - where you can venture so close to the edge and witness the  crashing waves.

At this time of the morning, it is so peaceful and quiet - and I love all these beautiful elements of mother earth.  I feel so fortunate that I can sit and enjoy and just 'be' in this space.  I am so wrapped up in this peaceful time, and rapt with this space, that I am oblivious to other people walking past on the Esplanade - it is only after, that I reflect how wonderful it is that I can sit and relax here, and not be running or racing past or having to rush to work.  It is my day off today.

Yes - it is my day off today - and despite having a whole list in my mind of what I would like to get done - I find that I am caught in the beauty of this space - certainly in no rush - and it sets the tone for the day.

Here are some other beautiful shots that I would like to share - I am loving my photography - even if this is just a small digital camera - I am loving when I just have the camera on hand to capture beauty.  I love being here at Sunrise.

After sitting and enjoying and taking some photos of the scenery, I feel inspired to write in the sand - it was great fun - I loved writing in the sand.  I am currently in the design process of my business card - so it was fun to have a play - I was so in the moment and loved it!

In these moments - I AM FEELING HAPPY, EXCITED, IN LOVE - so I write these words in the sand.

After an hour and a half of bliss - I take a relaxing walk along the Esplanade - talk to a lovely friend at Gloria Jeans, relax and read my book - and then I venture to my favourite Bookstore - this is also a wonderful space.  It is a wonderful series of moments - I find out that I can start Coaching on Fridays - they have a room available!!!  They are offering to welcome me into their Community - it is exciting.  I visit the space and it feels wonderful - the space is simple and beautiful and peaceful - this could become another My Favourite Space.  I am thankful and so grateful.  I meet another lovely lady at the Bookstore who is a naturopath and massage therapist - she is lovely - we chat and I feel so happy, so Yellow.  I am so excited to be making plans to start doing what I love - Life Coaching - being a Coach is such a beautiful honour.  While I plan to work on Fridays from this wonderful space, which is a dream come true, I would also like to be available, and to be Coaching, at other times and places - so I will remain open to where the journey leads me.  This is my life work, I am here to Make A Difference.  

I walk home, bubbling with excitement of all the possibilities...

As I walk home, with bags of Easter goodies for my loved ones, it was a lovely surprise to see my friend Fiona and her beautiful baby, Leah - it is always a joy.  We share some conversation, laughs and I love to see Leah smile - she is beautiful.  I tell Leah that I will have to have a baby soon, so that she can have a friend around the corner - Leah likes that idea - she gives me another smile.  As I stand there with Fiona, in Connection - this is another My Favourite Space - just being in Connection - genuine, caring, present in the moment.

 

I meet my boyfriend at my Parent's Home - that is always Home to me - another My Favourite Space - it was lovely to spend an afternoon tea together.  And then I collect Olivia from pre-school, which I love doing - and she is delighted to have the attention of the face-painter who is happy to paint a butterfly and a rainbow on Olivia's hands - just being in this space with my Niece is another My Favourite Space.  Olivia and Ashley are both drawn to climb the Trees - children always know...  Then it's time for Ashley's dancing - Ashley is a beautiful dancer - another My Favourite Space - just being a witness to their lives, their time enjoying and dancing.  It was really great to see the dancing teacher Spread The Yellow when she could see Olivia dancing on the side line and asked Olivia to join the group - and Olivia was rapt and went and danced alongside her big Sister.  I am blessed to have my Nieces, who through just being themselves, with their energy and innocence - Spread The Yellow to me.

 

 

 

And now I am Home - being at Home with Gareth is definitely wonderful - yes this is also My Favourite Space.  Perhaps wherever I am - if I am in tune with my heart - present in the moment - with loved ones or in nature - perhaps these moments, times, places, will always be known as My Favourite Space.
