So it’s been month (ok, years) of umm-ing and ahh-ing about life and what I want out of it. I won’t lie – being pregnant and having my two beautiful babies has been AMAZING and the biggest part of my life so far – but if I’m honest, it’s taken over part/most of me in the last 4 years. I absolutely love being a mum, and looking at their crazy little faces and dancing around the living room to the Gummi Bear song is such a GIFT, but that’s not 100% me. It’s not the end of the story for Tracey.
Amanda’s blog post What I Really Want is yet another wakeup call – I’m not the only one with dreams and had been hiding them away. There’s always SOMETHING that deep down you want to do, want to happen to you – but what if you dare to shout it to the world/internet? Are you brave enough to not only make your dreams known – but to actually make it happen?

like everyone else (well most of us..), i’ve been shattered to see the earthquake, then the tsunami and now the nuclear emergency footage on the tele and on the net. i can’t imagine what it’s really like to be there and to experience all those terrible things… i’ve never been to Japan but it’s been on of the places i have to visit asap (was trying to get a ticket there for my bday next month!). not only that, it’s heartbreaking to see whole towns levelled and thousands missing or simply gone.
i’m putting together an auction or raffle or something next week or so once new stock for the online shop i’m setting up has come in. i’m going to box up some stuff that i was going to add to the store, and either auction or raffle it off and then donate 100% to the Red Cross. it’ll definately contain either a Diana Mini + film, or Polaroid Film for SX70 (I might even run a couple of them so both are options). i want to put some energy in fundraising for Japan rather than worry about my own store right now..
if you’re interested, come back next week or so when I should have it put together… feel free to spread the word, it will happen in the next fortnight hopefully!!!
so it’s already FEBRUARY 2011! and i’ve been quiet on the blogging front.
i’ve been back at work the past few weeks and it’s been going good – i’ve accepted my faults and my strengths, and am pushing myself to be more efficient and it’s working! my stress levels are down, and i’m getting things DONE. still not perfect but who is? i just do my best each day and that’s working out
away from work, i’ve also started planning for my own little online store! i needed a way to make some extra money to put towards preschool for Jasper (and Jovie eventually) and i’ve always wanted to run a store myself after working on them for clients in the past. i actually have 2 ideas but know this has been my problem before, i split myself into little projects and never follow through on all of them. so i’m trying to concentrate on the store for the next 2-3 months for a launch in April 2011 🙂 very exciting!
hope you’re doing well – keeping safe and out of the heat OR the cold, wherever you are ..
