MY POINT OF BALANCE

Far from my typical Sunday afternoon; I have taken a few days off from Perth.

Treating myself - Me, Myself - solo, single!! Meandering around Pemberton, Western Australia.

The rabbits and roos are grazing on the green, green grass surrounding The Pemberton Wine Centre, as I sit sipping “Babe” - a merlot/Riesling blend from The Wine and Truffle Company. To the left is a stand of straight to the sky eucalypts, their naked trunks shimmering in the afternoon sun. Totally enthralled watching a “teenage” roo laying on his back; hind feet in the air, short front legs scratching his chest - totally trusting his place in the world and the protection of his family. Plenty of time to observe “mother” roo, so designed that as she bends to graze, Joey can reach the grass from the safety of her pouch - the perfect balance of Nature I have rarely taken time to observe.

But Oh So Typical of being on my own, I am hiding in work… it fills the time and makes me feel less conspicuous to the several couples from a Perth Rotary Club tasting wine and cheese at the counter…

Alone and writing - No one questions why you are alone - you are working, dedicated!!

But this has been positive “time out”. I am allowing myself time to just BE.

No need to converse, share the remote, worry about the toilet seat… And I did double-dip in the trout pate!

It’s essential that I get to know what I like and enjoy - What nourishes and nurtures Me??

All because when I do blend my time with a partner - I want to know who I am and my boundaries. To have the confidence and comfort of asking for and seeking what fulfils Me - that who I bring to any new relationship has integrity - Congruency in thought, word and actions.

Western Australia’s South West is healing and positive - beautiful scapes, a wide variety of accommodation and practical roadways (well… almost tourist friendly if you know what you are looking for!!) This mornings’ walk at sunrise to the Bicentennial Tree was not only peaceful, it was the perfect way to get my body and mind energy activated.

A radiant, confident energy which transcends people’s perception, regardless of style and shape, and sends a message of aliveness that ultimately attracts others.

Invigorated, with a brochure for Marima Cottages safely in my hand - the “Spa Cottage” on my short list of things to share with someone special - Roolly Soon!!
