I am passionate about sharing the benefits to the mind & body through yoga & hiking.

Introducing Erudite Fern, she is an 8 month old red Australian Cattledog, she is also Cruz's half sister.

She's a little pocket rocket and fitting in so well.

So why another dog? Hhmmm I wondered the same thing at first but they've been great.

You know I love animals, dogs in particular but especially ACDs.

Why?

They are fantastic dogs, strong willed, loyal, intelligent, tough....they are not for everyone. Like all dogs you need to put the time & effort into them, but with an ACD it's crucial. And consistency, that one time you're not paying attention and let something slip through, suddenly your scratching your head wondering where they picked that up from, lol. (And it's always a bad habit😁)

I don't mean for everyone to run out & buy an ACD, there are so many sitting in rescue groups from people who rushed into that decision, but respect and admire this fantastic Australian breed.

When a leaking kitchen tap leads to a full oven clean🤔

It was always my intention to clean the house after Christmas lunch, my grandkds are typical kids and very messy.They helped peel the prawns, no one needs to leave prawn juice anwhere in this heat!

My hot water hose under the sink was leaking, so in cleaning up that mess I found a stash of oven cleaning kits! Obviously I bought them as a good idea but apparently cleaning the oven isn't high on my priority list😁 (and looking at what's coming off my oven walls maybe I should make more effort)

Anyway, I hope you're having a fantastic Boxing day.

I'm preparing for nightshift.

Trifle for lunch anyone?

Stay safe over the festive season. See you in 2026!

Storm season is well & truly here!

On Sunday we got hit with the worst storm I (and many others in my street) can remember. Some reports of over 180km winds.

We've had a bit of damage, but nothing significant or structural, more messy.

We also had no electricity for over 24hrs. Being out of town, nothing works so no water, flushing toilets etc.

It always makes me think about being prepared:
✅️Making sure all the animals waters troughs are full just in case, have spare water available to drink but also to flush the toilet.
✅️Candles, torches and battery packs to recharge devices.

I also have a battery box & solar panel that I use in the caravan that can run my car fridge and the little 3way fridge in the van can be used.

And a BBQ & gas stove for cooking.

In fact as I write this we're having another storm!

What do you do to prepare? Not just for storms, but fires, flood or an instance of emergency evacuation? Do you have a "go bag" with essentials packed just in case?

There's a saying I love, "Fail to plan, plan to fail".

I hope everyone stays safe.

Next week is our last week to practise before a 2 week break, if you can wear Christmas colours ❤️💚🤍

I literally said "I'll see what my legs look like before I post it"

Then I thought too bad.

I'm soon to be in my mid 50s. I accept that my body isn't like it was in my 20s, 30s or even 40s. But you know what, those legs still carry me over hill & dale and I hope with a little bit of luck and a fair bit of effort on my part they'll continue to do so for a few more years.

Genetics play a part in our health and fitness, sometimes we are dealt challenges, some we can overcome some we can't.

I've lost friends who did all the "right things" ate & drank well, exercised and still passed away before their time. I've questioned my own health & fitness goals, inevitably I've thought why bother? And ultimately no matter our dedication our bodies will start to decline it's a natural part of aging.

I've come to realise that I do "all the things" not to live long but to live well. Climb those hills, explore the world and this fantastic country we call home, play with my grandkids, run (my words, lol) an Agility course.

Life is about balance💖

As the year winds down we have 2 weeks left to practise.

Spotlight on Yoga at Kootingal Gym

A year ago I met with Andrew at Kootingal Gym to discuss holding yoga in the gym.

He was keen to provide a wide range of health and fitness options to the growing Moonbi and Kootingal community.

I present a weekly 45min yoga class Thursday evenings starting at 5.45pm during school terms, as well as occasional "special yoga events".

All classes are suitable for beginners and each term we have a theme where we start with the basics and build on our skills to develop our practise. The theme this term has been balance poses.

We are a friendly supportive group that have a lot of fun along the way proving yoga isn't all serious🙂.

I also assist Andrew with running pt's and guiding the senior's fitness fortnightly on Wednesday morning.

Feel free to contact me or Kootingal gym for more details on yoga, pt's or Gym membership.

The last newsletter for 2025 will land in your inbox soon, if you're not signed up visit my website free2beme.com.au.
