Everyday I am learning to ‘seize the moment’. In the last week I have been fortunate enough to stumble across a few incredible people! My ablitly to just strike up conversation with strangers has allowed me to meet the most amazing\u00a0generous\u00a0people!<\/p>\n
Friday afternoon I had two lovely young ladies come into work chasing some prizes for the Utopian Dream dance festival that was in\u00a0Coffs\u00a0last week, they told me about Travers and what he was doing for young\u00a0Aussie’s\u00a0in the dance world.<\/p>\n
Check out his webpage!\u00a0http:\/\/www.traversross.com.au\/utopian-dream-2011\/<\/a><\/p>\n I was inspired and donated some gift\u00a0vouchers for prizes! In return they organised a quick shout out at the festival on\u00a0Saturday\u00a0afternoon at the Coffs Ex-Services \u00a0for me! it was my first ‘official’ ride4acure<\/strong> business\u00a0without having mum with me! I was nervy but had a blast! Hearing people cheer and clap I had the thought ‘these people get it!’ running through my head! The reason why they got <\/em>it was they are all passionate about their dance, and life, and getting out there and doing what you love! Walking into the room, the energy and vibe was electric! Thank you so much to all of you there for your time and the\u00a0opportunity!<\/p>\n Yesterday morning (Monday\u00a017th\u00a0January) I was lucky enough to have a brilliant up and coming photographer Daniel Darwin photograph Lofty and Myself. I met Dan when I was walking Bobby (the dog!)around Sawtell headland, he was taking a photo of the reflection of the train bridge across Boambee \u00a0Creek. Striking up conversation as I do, we talked long enough for a train to come by and get the reflection of the train also! Telling my quick version of ride4acure’s story, Dan generously offered to do some promo photo’s for me!<\/p>\n Check out his facebook page, http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Red-Hot-Chilli-Photography\/111849015531331?ref=ts<\/a><\/p>\n I had a blast, lofty was a poser and was well worth the 4.30am start to the day!<\/p>\n I recieved word today that my submission to <\/span><\/span><\/span>Hope 2011 \u2013 stories that must be told<\/em><\/a> is in the top ten!! I did a double take when I read the email! I\u00a0received\u00a0a double pass to the 2011 Sydney Festival!<\/p>\n
