Move, Fail, Break, Create

“Stuff you should do before you’re 35. Move. Live a dream. Fail miserably. Dream bigger. Get your heart broken. Create your reason.” — umair haque (@umairh) April 23, 2013 That space between break and create… interesting… I don’t see why it has to be till 35, but I 100% love the phrase ‘CREATE YOUR REASON’ I think that shall become one of my new mantras…...

by brainie, Paul & Kathie, & holyladd Stumbled upon a ‘rainbow eucalyptus’ today. They’re completely natural and as ever with the natural realm… startling & amazing! As the bark peels off at different rates & times, so different colours are seen and the rainbow effect is formed. “Nature’s brushstrokes” as somebody stated so...

So the other day I had the literal surprise and intrinsically exciting pleasure of looking up and noticing that a tree near where I was, was a kind of flowering gum (the tree I’m painting in the baby’s room) and it was blooming too!!! (hehe okay, so that’s as exciting as my life is at the moment ;) This tree’s blooms were tiny little delicate bursts and I was captivated...

Dear me!! I’m disappearing a lot lately. Sorry Visionaries, I’m chasing my tail and imagine this will continue if not get a little worse with baby on the way. Don’t worry I will pop by from time to time with delicious treasures and moments as they are discovered… perhaps you could do the same with the ‘popping’… here and there to say hello. Big...

So much to do and time is literally slipping through my fingers… as I grow I seem to get a tad more stressed too - eeek. On another note a wondrously lovely friend came to visit Sydney this week so I got to take a mini break of a day and even visit the zoo! We spotted this beauty there - does anyone know what it’s called? thea. xx

These were a gift from Mr Visionary that got him in very very good books - I adore flowers, does that make me a cliche? Oh I don’t care ;) They’re always a welcome gift. ;) Got asked yesterday (on night trip to URGENTLY purchase WAY too many Salt & Vinegar chips, all consumed… oh dear) if I was pregnant with twins. Lol, I’m only half way… uh oh…...

Learning many amazing things about babies and the human body, and keep stumbling over the labour issue - hehe oh dear, but to sum up: A growing appetite + growing bum + growing tum = pregnant thea, lavishly soaking up the lustrous summer days and listening for little flutters… thea. xx

the first flutter tired. so tired now. Legs, that satisfying tire of having moved, having walked - a distance. And so I sit, quietly and there you are. My little flutter. A Little flutter, brief but strong butterfly wings flapping Hello. Hello little one. x

Little birds… I have a little news. I am, as I type, not doing so alone, but with a little bird of my own, a ‘mini visionary’ growing in my tummy. It’s a crazy feeling… a heartbeat, a flutter, and love. A love that is darker and more delicate than I have known before. We had a traumatic few days where I thought I’d lost my little bird and I am so very...
