Don't Judge me 'cos I'm AWESOME!

After breaking up from a long term relationship, feeling rather down about my self image and self worth, I went through a stage of wondering why can't I find someone that will tell me that I'm BEAUTIFUL, or a NICE person, or that I am the one who MATTERS to them....


SMACK!


Realisation hit me in the face, "If no one else will tell you Sarah, tell yourself! And don't just say it, BELIEVE it!!!" 


So for the last six months I have been on a journey to not only rediscover the person I am, (Who is quite great by the way!) But to also give myself the ego boosts I deserve! 


It's not at all obnoxious or "uppity" to say how great of a person you are, if it's the truth! 


If you know that you're a good person, that you and Karma are on good terms, then why not tell yourself so!
 and while you're there, tell others, most likely they'll agree!!!

Where I Live...

Ok, so a beautiful friend in Sydney has always wondered why I am so relaxed and a laid back person that doesn't get caught up in the B.S. of life...
After years of asking when she is going to come visit my home town, she finally made the trip down...
She saw the water, and said, "This is why you are the person you are"...

I had never really thought about it before that, but the water has always been my calming medium... I come down to this place when I feel stressed, or lonely, or just when I need to feel like I am the only person in this world....

Where do you go to escape the world, or get closer to it? :)

Hello rain, We've met before!?

I know that rain can get a bit much when it's day after day, but as my motto goes, Life as a sunset, you've got to find the beautiful things within the everyday...


I took two steps outside my door and found a spider burying itself in a web from a chair to the pylon, it was gorgeous, the way the water droplets captured the light... I just had to get my camera out and see if  I could do it justice!


What do you think?
What do you like about the rain?

Happy Hands

What has been making me happy of late?

Well, I would have to say, these gloves!

I have started Mixed Martial Arts Training, (MMA), whenever I put these gloves on, everything else disappears and it's just me and the bag, or the pads, or person in front of me.
There's really no feeling like throwing the hardest straight punch you have and feeling the power you have within your own body!
Knowing what my body is capable of, and still more to come, is such a confident feeling, I feel strong within myself physically, mentally and emotionally....
