HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy 2013 friends! It seems time has passed me by. I finished my yoga teacher training last month, and in less than 2 weeks I begin my new career. I am truly excited to be embarking on this next chapter of my life. So I thought I would pop in here to share a little of what has been happening in my world.

Christmas was busy, as it always is, spent with family and friends. Where has the year gone? As I reflect back upon these past months, I realise I am most definitely a different person to the one I was this time last year. I have grown so much, and have never felt better. 

We took a little holiday prior to the Christmas craziness to one of my very favourite places - Byron Bay   which is a gorgeous seaside town. It has a hippy vibe, and is a favourite destination for many. It is a beautiful, spiritual place, which speaks to my soul. We were lucky enough to be staying right across the road from the beautiful Byron beach, so every morning we would rise early and walk to the lighthouse and back, which takes you along the beach, through beautiful rainforest, enjoying gorgeous scenery along the way. 

We were even lucky enough one day to see several pods of dolphins right on the eastern most point of Australia. Magical. Each day after my walk, I would do some yoga, even before my girls were awake. Such a beautiful start to the day, and one that I miss already.

I have made a little slideshow of our time in this sacred place. I enjoyed my birthday while away, and was lucky enough to spend it at a very special place called Crystal Castle. We had the most perfect weather for the day, and after wandering through the beautiful gardens, admiring all the Goddess statues and crystals strewn throughout, we enjoyed a delicious lunch overlooking the Byron hinterland. 

I hope you enjoy a little taste of one of my very favourite destinations. Byron Bay has my heart, and I know it won't be long before I return.
