Selamat Hari Raya Galungan
(Happy Galungan)

One of the things I love about Bali is ceremony and ritual
There's ALWAYS a ceremony for something 😊

As I leave today the Balinese Hindu are celebrating one of their biggest of the year (actually it happens twice a year) Galungan and Kuningan
10 days of celebrating dharma over adharma (good over evil)

Today it launches with Galungan
The day when it is believed that all past ancestors return to earth
They return again to heaven in 10 days, the time known as Kuningan

In this time the Balinese celebrate, honour and draw wisdom from their ancestors and it is a time of family connection and devotion.

These long stick decorations are specific for the period and called penjor...made with love and focussed intention
They line the streets of the villages all across the island
Truly a sight to be seen and a vibe to be felt...and one I will miss ❤

The experience of worldschooling was how we ended up in Bali. One of the most valuable experiences was attending a Worldschooling Summit in Chiang Mai. I highly recommend you get yourself to one if you can.

BUT if you can't....here's the next best thing
A VIRTUAL Worldschooling Summit!
And it's FREE!

I'm honoured to be a part of it, along with many other speakers, and give back to the worldschooling community I love so much.

My latest blog post.
Wrapping up my time on Gili Air

Snorkelling the Nest – Gili Meno, Indonesia February 3, 2020February 3, 2020 admin 0 Comment Travel - Bali One of the nice things about the Gilis is that you can snorkel straight off the beach. To be honest, in the week that I’ve been here I haven’t done that! I’ve been too busy spending the...

You WON’T like Indonesia if…

🌺 You’re a bit of a Princess/Prince and want to experience different cultures/places but hold an unspoken expectation/need that everything should be “just like home”

🌺 You need everything to always run on time/to plan

I’m sure there’s more… I just can’t think of any at the moment…perhaps I’ll update this list another time

But what made me think of it was this 👇

This morning I decided to have my brekkie by the pool and do a bit of work out here for a while…why not! Nice setting, I have a comfy table and chair to work from and there’s a nice breeze blowing out here…it’s soooooo bloody hot and humid!

Anyhow, I ordered my breakfast and told the staff that I needed more toilet paper in my room (which has not been cleaned since I arrived). Well I got my brekkie…and a roll of toilet paper delivered to the table!

Now I could be a little annoyed…put off

They could have taken it to my room…and cleaned it while they’re there!

But instead I chose the more enjoyable response…chatted with the friendly staff who delivered it…exchanged some lessons in Bahasa/English…talked about random things like cats eating eggs for the opportunity to both speak sentences in Bahasa/English…and then get on with the day

And I had a little giggle about it too 😁

So here’s my Experience Indonesia tip – Chill out! It’s not the end of the world if the toilet paper gets delivered to your brekkie table and your room isn’t cleaned!

I can help you to chillax a little when you join me to Experience Bali

See what I have to offer here https://experiencebalinow.com/

PS – While writing this post the staff came and asked if I would like my room cleaned 😂😂😂

One of the things I first fell in love with about Bali was the spectacular sunsets. Coming from the East Coast of Australia sunsets over the ocean were a bit of a treat.

Having explored this island paradise even more in-depth now I've discovered even more amazing sunset spots. Not just over the ocean but gracing the horizon over ricefields and jungle as well.

I don't know why...but there's something magical about a sunset.

Are you a sunset lover?
Post your pics in the comments below and tell me where they are.

Recently I went along to a Women's Festival here in Ubud. There were around 120 presentations and workshops over 3 days in a beautiful venue. The topics were wide and varied from Naked Yoga (I skipped that one) to Creative Writing. I thought I'd check out the latter.

After warming up with some freestyle journalling we were then asked to write a poem - The prompt was "She is Me"...a poem about the woman you wish to become.

I've never been big on poetry and thought there'd be no way I could get something out...but I did...it's no Nobel Peace Prize winning piece but I surprised myself with the way it flowed out of me.

And then...because I'm just a little bit obsessed at the moment with creating video and learning more about using the editing software, I decided to put this little film together based on the poem.

No use creating something if you're not going to share it right? So while taking a deep breath and stretching way out of my comfort zone...again...I've put on my vulnerability vest to share with you here the woman I strive to become

It's no secret that I believe journalling is a fantastic tool for cracking open your creativity and creating change. I recently attended a Creative Writing w...

I feel so loved and supported in Bali...especially in the confines of my Balinese family home space.

Sitting on my porch staring mindlessly into my garden...something I love to do...a LOT...my neighbour/landlady who has become my friend, my family, my sister, casually, with no expectation of anything in return, brings me over this 👇

It is food that has been intentionally prepared with love
Prepared as offerings taken to the temple and blessed
And then brought home and shared

It is no big event
It's just what is done
Simple as that...

But it is SUCH a big event for me
So grateful 🙏❤

Now...back to my juicy sweet mango & watermelon...followed by some Balinese cake for brekkie...I think I'll leave the bananas for later in the day/tomorrow...spread the love out a bit 😁

Happiness is...

Riding through the villages of Bali
Feeling free as a bird
Michael Bublé crooning to you through your earphones in your helmet
Dreaming that he's sitting behind you
Arms wrapped around your waist
With his cheeky smile glowing radiantly on his face...

Michael...if you're ever in Bali...look me up
Let's make this vision a reality
I promise I won't bite..not too hard anyway 😁❤

I've just come back to earth after being in a kinda coma state for 4.5hrs...enjoying Pure Indulgence in a beautiful spa here in Ubud (something you can do too when you join me on an upcoming "Experience Ubud" adventure...but I digress 😁)

While taking myself for a late lunch I've had the opportunity to catch up on FB and start to go through sooooo many birthday wish messages. THANK YOU everyone! ❤

And there was one extra special gift amongst them...

The gorgeous Lynette Allen from A Woman's Blessing released today the podcast we recorded together. No time for being humble in this case. It's soooo good!

There's a saying that "While you teach you learn". Listening to it for the first time...while not necessarily teaching, just sharing my story, some of which I've NEVER shared publicly before, I even had huge realisations of what I've been through and what I've done to get through it.

For years now I've had a burning desire to use my story of adversity for the greater good. Little by little it's all coming together. This podcast is part of it.

What a great birthday gift!

If you feel the call to listen to it I'd love to know what, if anything, you get out of it for yourself. Your feedback will help me share & inspire even more potently 🙏❤
