2012 - Here we go!

 is shaping up to be a really big, fun, exciting and adventurous year for me and I can't get stuck into it quick enough. 2011 ended and it was a huge relief because I felt like I didn't achieve anything for the entire year and all I could think about was a fresh start. Now that the new year is here, I don't know where to start, but I'll give you a quick run down of where my life is at currently:



Personal Info - 28, currently living with my boyfriend's parents in central Victoria (Kyneton) while we wait for our first house to start being built any day now, boyfriend Paul and I going into our 7th year together, large family, can't live without sport, love pushing the boundaries (see my hairstyle for example; its half shaved), seek my own adventures in life

Career - Been stuck in a job for 4 years that I don't necessarily like but I am good at it. I've been working in administration jobs for the past 9 years and I'm so done with it. Without going into too much boring detail about what I currently do, I will just say that it's repetitive, not challenging in any way, and I get asked the same questions every day - giving the same answers every day and I'm tired of it. Enter new career ambition;


Career Ambitions - I'm in the beginning stages of creating my own business in the social media/online marketing industry. I want to work for myself, set my own rules and play my own game. I want to help small to medium sized business's with creating an online profile using social media and website creation/maintenance. Social media is a passion of mine and I recently found a passion for creating websites and using the 2 together to enhance business activity - be it increasing sales, online awareness, community engagement, search engine optimisation, marketing online to reach a larger audience etc. My business's name is going to be "Techno Birdie" and I have applied for the business to be registered. Once it's registered I will be finalising my business plan and set up my own website and get things underway. I'm SO SO SO EXCITED to begin my own business, but more on that later when things have progressed


I have also just enrolled to study a diploma of Marketing at Victoria University which I'm really excited about


Sporting life -  I am a huge lover of sports but my sports of choice are netball and basketball. I have been playing these sports since I can remember and I'm yet to get sick of them. I am most happy when on the court.


Friendships -  I am a seriously lucky woman to have a beautiful group of friends that extend all over the world. I would not be who I am today without my friends and I seem to make them quite easily which is so much fun. In my high school years I would say that I had quite a few more male friends than female and this would have been because I preferred to play basketball with the boys at lunchtime than hanging out with the girls talking about boys! This might be the reason why I wasn't interested in having a boyfriend during my teenage years because I was busy playing sport - but these days, I have many many amazing female friends who I love and adore. I still have male friends, yes, and some of them are my best friends who I love very much, but there's something about having a group of close female friends that makes me really happy and I thank them every day for calling me their friend. They know who are they :)



Family - Mum (Christine), Dad (Adrian) older brother (Jarod) and younger brother (Hayden). Best family in the world. Growing up with 2 brothers taught me to stand up for myself and be a fighter. My dad has worked for myself most of his life as an Accountant & financial advisor - often working until all hours of the morning just so he can provide the best possible life for his wife and kids - he's a great dad. Mum raised us as individuals and let us chase our dreams from early on. Mine included wanting to be a dancer, play basketball for Australia, become a massage therapist, a youth worker, and   even let me pack my bags at the tiny age 
of 18 to go live in a country I'd never been to and help an American family raise their 3 kids. No matter what, she always supports us and for that I owe her for the rest of my life. I'm also just realising how very much alike my mum and I are - and that's not a bad thing either. 


Right, that's it for now, I'm so over talking about myself lol. I hope that you enjoy reading my blog, or even if you don't that's OK too.





 This blog is going to be all about me, my life and the things in life that I love. Here's to life; my way!
