Tribute To The Queen

The world in mourning after Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday 8th September and I want to post my own tribute to  her. It will just be a short one.

"I declare before you all that my life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong." 

Princess Elizabeth said this in the speech she gave on her 21st birthday in 1947 and she definitely stayed true to those words, from the day of her coronation as Queen in 1953 right up to this year. For the last 70 years, Her Majesty The Queen served the people of Britain and the Commonwealth nations with dignity, grace, style and unwavering devotion. As well as her dedication to duty, the unconditional love for her family was so lovely and inspiring to see. The Royal Family have experienced their share of tragedy, loss and scandal and have had many happy and fun moments together. No matter what each of them were going through, she never stopped loving them and showed her support for them. The Queen had a great sense of humor too which was great. Her devotion to family and duty is an example to everyone. 

As someone who enjoys all things royal, I loved seeing her dressed in brightly colored clothes and jewelry, walking around, interacting with the young children who gave her bouquets of flowers, shaking hands, talking to the public and working happily. Just two days before her death, she made her final public appearance to appoint Liz Truss as the 15th Prime Minister. I was amazed that at 96-years-old, was still working and had only recently started using a walking stick. She has been around for most of our lives and her loss is being felt here in Australia and all around the world. 

Thank you Your Majesty. Rest in Peace. 

My sincere condolences to the entire Royal Family, the British people and to everyone who is mourning her passing.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
