Hi Fabienne. I’ve been following your gratitude blog and have found myself being reminded of the reasons for moving to Vic from Qld this year. I’m still in a transition phase in settling in to new surrounds and an environment that feels so alien to me. I am like a fish out of water, literally.
I decided to practice each day in being grateful for the new experiences, sights, sounds and the amazing old and graceful red river gums in the town! Seeing Melbourne through your eyes has inspired me to step out on my own and taste that coffee and find new places of interest to fill the soul and be grateful that I am alive to be able to make my new choices of chance! Namaste. Helen
Ohhh! Helen, firstly, welcome to Victoria – I didn’t know that you had moved! Are you in Melbourne? Message me on FB and we can meet up for a coffee. I *adore* my adopted city and would be delighted to introduce you to some of the nooks and crannies of a very beautiful city. I found, although I loved it from the moment I arrived, it took me a number of years to actually really *earth* myself in my new land, to hear its song, to feel its breath, to resonate to its heartbeat. Even though it’s the same country, Melbourne and Queensland are so very different culturally, it’s more like moving entire countries than just shifting interstate. And it’s true – just being alive gives us the option of choice. ⭐ Blessings ⭐
