Soul Searching

Thoughts –

Monday to Friday my life is a blur of working, eating, sleeping and exercising. These five days, unfortunately, seem to be more about existing than actually living. Therefore on weekends I need to get out. To do something out of the ordinary. I need to feel like I have lived and accomplished something for the week and on weekends I would much rather spend my time travelling and exploring the outdoors than sitting inside. So that is exactly what I do. 

I love exploring places I have not seen before. I always get over excited and awestruck by beautiful and unfamiliar scenery. It is truly amazing how stunning this earth is and I often forget that when I am surrounded by this concrete jungle. 

Recently I escaped the concrete slabs the city calls land and travelled to an abandoned railway line. The railway line has been covered with forestry and is now a magical cove of loveliness. Although it is only tuesday I am already wishing I was back exploring this wonderful world.

PS . In the end I went barefoot. I could say its because I am a gypsy but really my boots just couldn't handle the enormous amount of mud. For those thinking of visiting, take some gumboots

Into the Woods

Sometimes life becomes too busy, noisy and overwhelming.

Times like this force me to remove myself from my normal everyday life and focus on whats important. Over the weekend I drove away from the hustle and bustle of the city to the nearest national park, losing myself for a few hours in woodlands. Trekking through nature helps balance out my mind and reconnects me back to what is important in my life. We all get so caught up in menial things; I find removing myself helps me refocus on what’s important. I hope you all had a relaxing weekend and refreshed your mind, body and soul.
