having fun in the sun!!!
Geepers creepers I haven’t posted for a while aye! How slack am I! You know what it is? It’s because I knew that I was making you all barf with jealousy over those hawaii pics, so I had to pull back a little hahahaha. Nah, just kidding ya! But guess, what? I have some SERIOUSLY EXCITING NEWS: Phoenix walked 5 steps ALL BY HERSELF yesterday!!! She walked from mum to me and back again over and over and over and over – woohoo! And then today, she stepped away from her walker and started dancing to Hannah Montana!!! No hands! Arrrrr!!! So exciting!!! I am so proud of my beautiful and very determined little girl. She is blossoming here in Australia and it has been to wonderful to see. This morning I woke up to her cuddling me in bed – she had her leg and arm across my body and was patting me gently. What a sweety. ”I love cuggles” she said quietly, in her whisper voice because I was asleep. Then she sang a song to herself.

Our journey in Australia so far has mainly been: Enjoying Friendships; treasuring, cultivating and renewing friendships. I have missed having friends! I love you all so much! Australia has also marked the first proper singing lessons for me. I love the challenge. I love it when I ‘get it’. I get frustrated with 32 years of bad singing habits that I have to ‘unlearn’. But let me tell you, I now have a whole new respect for opera singers – I BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP YOU ALL!!!! Even the bad ones! I worship you too because I understand how difficult it is to sing like that and have it sound beautiful now…
I have also been capturing a lot of images-of-love for friends and old clients…
hee hee little cutie pies. Phoenix loved playing on their farm SO MUCH!!! Unfortunately, I have become a little too busy, and long for the feeling of ‘holidaying’ to return. I’ve had to turn down several photo shoots – which is always hard to do because I love it so much :)

Mmmmm and we’ve also been spending time at the beach *bliss*
Since being in Australia for such a long period of time, I have also taken the opportunity (interestingly) to take note of my hormones and how my mood is affected at different stages of my cycle – holy cow! I have never, ever done this before and what a nut am I!! I mean, I knew I was kind of cuckoo, but heck, I am all over the place: happy, sad, horny, angry, hateful, loving, paranoid, trustful – ARRRG! What a nightmare!! AB-SO-LUTE NIGHTMARE!! Today I discovered that just before I ovulate and just after, I think the whole world hates me for one or two days. Geesh! Is anyone else like this? Is it just me?
Psychotically Yours,
Love Jaz

OMGosh!!!….Joy and rapture!!!….I am not alone in my madness!!!…Ovulation does the exact same thing to me!!! I have discussed this with many people and no-one has ever said they feel the same!!! Is it just us two crazies???…..
TOTALLY like that. although, I’d say its more than 2 days here!!
And you know what else I realized? On those whole-world-is-against-me days is when I want to shovel absolute crap loads of food into my mouth! Like how cookie monster is – completely out of control!!
Same but different, and I only ever realize it after the fact!! When it’s happening, I just think what a witch I am and don’t realize why! The food has to be Trader Joe’s chocolate, some kind of chocolatey caramelly cookies, and I have even been known to eat uncooked fudge cake batter to satisfy the chocolate/sugar craving. The cake batter thing happens late at night when I can’t get caught! Insane we are!!
Jasmine,
Just wanted to say I am in love with your photography. Just beautiful!
That is AMAZING! Way to go Phoenix!! :)
