I have just returned from a professionally nourishing, soul satisfying mini break in the city attending the annual conference.
 
I have been an accredited member of this peak body now for six years and I love the support, the inspiration and the friendships this wonderful group of dedicated writers offer. We are all different, use varied forms of storytelling including written, visual and audio, and yet we are all united in our work to document the lives of people with grace, professionalism and connection.
 
I am pleased to announce I have accepted a position on the board of Life Stories Australia for the coming year, and I am looking forward to working with, and for, our current and future members. I’m excited to make a contribution and see all the stories flourish.

Took a little trip down memory lane today when I rewatched the video made by years ago for the launch of the book I made with called From This Place - Inspiring Women Artists of the Upper Yarra Valley

It's a news piece featuring the key speeches from amazing women and performances at the launch and it made me sob with such deep emotion.
I will be proud of this project forever, and so proud of the women in my commmunity.
Much love to for sharing the vision and making such exquisite photos to go with my words. THe launch was Sept1 in 2017 - I cant believe how much time has gone past...

Friday 1st of September was the official launch of a beautiful book -"From This Place - Inspiring Women from the Upper Yarra Valley" -focusing on the stories...

Finding a sweet spot to live

A little bit of good news. I’ve just successfully completed a Diploma (Level 5) of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL)!

Building on my love for words, helping others and a passion for life long learning, this appealed as a beautiful extension of the part of me that is forever both a traveller and a self confessed word nerd.

In addition to proving to myself that I could do it, I hold this achievement as another step towards a return to my beloved Italy, where one day I will delight in teaching English, and living the life while improving my own Italian speaking skills. I don’t know how exactly this will unfold but…letting my dreams define my reality seems like a sweet place to start.
