So it's finally happened! I've created a blog and I'm loose and wild on the tinterweb, God help you all, go run and save yourselves!
For me this is stepping way outside of the comfort zone, that twilight area that scares the bejeebers out of me, but I'll do it anyway, because well that's just me. This is my space to do as I please, write, share art and be philosophical and as a thinker, there is no getting away from that. That said, this isn't going to be a diary and won't always be intended so literally.
It's been a rough ride in places and a leisurely paddle in others. I dare say the waves could get a hell of a lot higher, though even in the shallows I'm sometimes paddling underneath like fury, but I guess that's half of the fun of the ride and one of the only ways you will learn in life. Like I've learnt how fickle I can be with my art and writing. My ability to study, the way I run a business and the way I view the world (through rose tinted John Lennons or thick cynical horn rims).
Just as an additional thought, this time last year I was coming to the end of a working experience in Zambia, the first big trips I hope of many more to come. I came home and fell headlong into Christmas. Before I knew it, I was picking my way through 2012 wondering what on earth had happened to my life and had I ever really come home? Many who know me well enough think not. So maybe there is a small part of me still residing out there, I'd like to think that part is running wild with the cheetah's! Maybe I left a small paw print and made a little difference somewhere out there.
My passions will become clear, so I will not bore you with reams of details this evening. So on that note I will bid you goodnight and leave you with a photo of my happy place. An old Italian family run establishment called the Rendevous cafe found on the sea front. Unchangeable in it's 1950's style decor and familiar faces; since being a toddler I've remembered jaunts along to the light house and back, followed by the best ice cream ever with monkeys blood! Happy days!
