Seize the Moment
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 generous people!
Friday afternoon I had two lovely young ladies come into work chasing some prizes for the Utopian Dream dance festival that was in Coffs last week, they told me about Travers and what he was doing for young Aussie’s in the dance world.

I was inspired and donated some gift vouchers for prizes! In return they organised a quick shout out at the festival on Saturday afternoon at the Coffs Ex-Services for me! it was my first ‘official’ ride4acure business without 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 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 opportunity!
Yesterday morning (Monday 17th January) 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 Creek. 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!

I had a blast, lofty was a poser and was well worth the 4.30am start to the day!
I recieved word today that my submission to Hope 2011 – stories that must be told is in the top ten!! I did a double take when I read the email! I received a double pass to the 2011 Sydney Festival!

What a week!!
Seize the moment however small it may be, you never know how incredible the person standing in-front or beside you may be.
Be brave, ask questions and LIVE!
Cheers All!
