Sometimes the world send a little reminder that life isn't fair, like a slap to the face it lets you know that our time here is short, and how long we have isn't guaranteed for anyone. Often those who are full of life and love go first, before their time. It seems that in a way they know that their time on this earth is shorter than most and so make the most of what time they have.
Today, many of us mourned the loss of a great friend, and a great man, and despite the many hundreds of people the attended his funeral, I know there were many more across the country and the world who were wishing they could be with us but were there in spirit. All to pay homage to Mr Amazing Paulie-pants.
I'll never forget the first time I met Paulie- which is saying a lot. It's not often that I remember such details, not being a detail person, or in the possession of a great memory storage. But there I was, attending my first Stomp (for those of you who don't know, that is the name of a swing dance social here in Perth) nervous as hell, with my new skills barely honed after my 6 week beginners course just completed, I spent much more time sitting on the sides enjoying watching all the amazing dancing that was happening around me and just breathing in all things swing. My good friend Kimmy was looking after me, already what I considered a pro dancer, they all looked impossibly good and I knew there was know way I could keep up with my limited repertoire so I was simply having the time of my life looking on and barely being able to contain my excitement for when I could be up there dancing with all those amazing people without feeling guilty for not knowing anything. Having an in with Kimmy was fantastic as she had been telling me all about the awesome people and introducing me to many poor people who graciously put up with my bad dancing and so friendships were started that have become very important to me over the years.
One of these people she introduced to me was Paulie, who she had laughingly called Mr Bean. Upon meeting him I could definitely see the resemblance! Kimmy having been asked for a dance mentioned off-hand that Paulie was their resident magic man. Those few words were all it took. Out whipped the cards and he proceeded through magic card tricks that I will never be able to tell you what they were, as unfortunately for a slightly annoyed Paulie, I couldn't take my eyes off the dancers long enough to pay his tricks due attention. But he graciously sat there with me so I wouldn't be alone, showing off all of his latest tricks to a rather unappreciative audience. But I was grateful for his company, and over the years I have been blessed with a number of dances with the Great Paulie. And they always stand out in my memory.
Mr Amazing Paulie Pants the magic man, will be greatly missed by many. But we are so lucky to have known him even for a minute.
So I take this time, if you have gotten this far through my horrible writing, to tell you as a friend that I love you all dearly. It is something we don't say enough. Or sometimes say too much, blandly throwing the words around without them having meaning. But my friends, those near and far away, as I am blessed to have many friends throughout the world, I want you to know that you are all so special for me.

Happy Feet
We often see new and inventive ways that people take photos of their worldly travels, one that was rather funny and inventive was the stealing of a garden gnome and sending photos of it around the world back to the residents of the household that it was 'borrowed' from. The down side to this sneaky and amusing activity was having to first find a gnome to steal and second having the space and weight allowance to drag it everywhere with you.
Last night I was introduced to a new and cheaper way of taking inventive photo's of your travels, one friend suggesting a great idea of putting them all together at the end in a canvas photo to hang up on your wall- I think it would look particularly fantastic!
Check out the Perthnow link below
Happy feet
Globe-trotting couple Tom and Verity Robinson document their travels a little differently to the rest of us. They take plenty of stunning photographs, but you won't catch their faces in any of these shots. It's all about their feet, and some of the amazing and exotic lands they've stepped on.
So check out some of the best snaps from the couple's trips, from the Blue Mountains to Machu Picchu, Peru.
So if from my next trips you see more photo's of my feet than my smiling face, you now know why ;)
Happy travels everyone!

New Years Resolutions
I know that most people do this right before or after New Years, rather than a few weeks later like I am, but I wanted to really think about it and decide what it is that I thought my New Years Resolutions should be. Typical me fashion they all have to do with 'doing' something, but that suits me just fine. :)
1) Travel
ok so some of you may be saying what I have heard others say to me before 'thats not a resolution, thats a reality for you' and while that may be true, they say that if you right down clear, concise goals for yourself there is a far greater chance of them coming true (somewhere in the 90% range I believe) so here I am writing down my clear and hopefully concise goals. So. The places I want to travel to this year, in no particular order, are:
Nepal- to visit the new Mr Josh and Mrs Tammy Moses
Brissy/Surfer Paradise- to visit Bek, Damo, Caitlin, and Mr Josh and Mrs *Bug (Kirsten) Barton
Sydney and the Bong- to visit Grace, Taki, Nuggie, Krissie, Jade and many others
Melbourne- to visit Kimmy, Crystal and Shaun and bub, and others
South America- to visit Calvin
and of course- back to the US of A- to visit all my BLYC lovelies, my America family- the Torkelsen's, Bry of course, Ash Lyon, and hopefully some of my old Georgian friends! (at this stage I am considering Chrissy and NYs as a time to come, as I have been ordered that I need to see proper snow... :D and my little brother Brian and I have a deal to go snowboarding and horseriding in the snow ;)
2) Get a job that pays lots of money so that I can save for above travel, and also below expenses and gives me the time off to do everything! (working on that one- fingers crossed!)
3) New camera of the Canon Mark 7D or 5D variety and also new lens for various purposes, a tripod and flashes :D
4) Start to learn a language or two - thanks to Miss G for my first German lesson! maybe soon I'll be able to talk to my dear sis Anna Banana in her native language! :D other languages that I would like to learn are French, Spanish, Italian, Gaelic, Arabic, Greek... (I thought I'd better stop there and actually start learning some before I added more to the list!)
5) Begin learning a Martial Arts- Karate or Kung Fu of some kind, mostly for self defence purposes, especially as a young female who likes to travel and often ends up doing it alone, but also for fun and fitness properties
6) Do more dancing, particularly lessons again in Lindyhop as it has been too long, eventually learning some aerial's perhaps?
7) Write more letters and send more snail mail type loving. I am happy to say that this resolution is very much underway, having already shared a few 'for shits and giggles' postcards between me and my beautiful bestie Grace, and first few letters writing heading their way to destinations around the world :)
8) Do some more photography courses, develop and broaden skills further
9) Save money to either A) Go live in Europe, B) study videography in Prague, or C) travel the world and my leisure and start knocking off my bucketlist!
10) Learn Parkour/Free running- something that has been on my bucketlist for the last few years, but after my first 'lesson' in Parkour and getting to watch someone/people who are really very talented at said activity, my resolve to master this has deepened. So who wants to join me? :D
And that Ladies and Gentlemen, sums up what I hope my 2012 looks like! :D I hope that you have all set, and written down (reasonable and attainable) goals for yourself and if you have- go for them! :D
Lets do this 2012, just in case it IS the last year of the world! haha ;)

Goodbye 2011, Here's to 2012
Well there is only a few hours left of 2011. Least in my part of the world there is only a few hours left! And what a year it has been, my first year out of Avondale College after graduating December 2010, my 23rd year of life, and a year full of travel adventures, catching up with old friends not seen for a long time, meeting amazing new people and making friends that are close to my heart no matter where I am in the world. And of course seeing amazing new countries and cultures and spending time with my two gorgeous sisters, Larissa and Anna. What more could an already blessed girl ask for?
Yes, there have been some hardships this year, we live in a sinful world where there is going going to be pain and sorrow- loss of loved ones, sickness and pain, breakups and other dramas amongst friends and family, all tragic and painful. But in the end they make us appreciate the good times so much more. They make us value those friends who do stay with us through all the bad times as well as the good, who hold us up when we can no longer do it for ourselves. They make us value sunsets, the smell of beautiful flowers and the simple things in life, to take each day as it comes and simply to LIVE our life to the fullest.
That is what I set out to achieve in 2011, and with a little help from God and my beautiful friends and family I believe I managed to reach my goal. So 2011. Thanks for the laughs, the travel, the good times, the friends, the learning experiences and the love that was given and shared. All in all, despite everything, you were one HELL of an awesome year. And I want to send out a massive thanks and lots of love to those who made it so.
So here's to 2012. The supposed end of the world. But whether you believe it or not, I think it is a good reminder that we never quite know what moment is going to be our last- so make it the best year yet, and I challenge you all to get out there and LIVE your lives to the absolute fullest. Don't wait to tell someone how much you love and appreciate them in your life, NOW is the time, don't let the sun set on your anger, forgive and move on, be open to new experiences and new joys, let go of the pain of the past and lift your face to the sun and most of all, enjoy doing the things and spending time with those you love. And of course, TRAVEL. Learn from others, we have so much to teach each other, if we would just learn to open our hearts and minds and listen for once. Learn the joy of serving others and help those in need. If we all set our minds to do this- imagine how much we could change the world?? Wouldn't that be amazing?! :) Find and maintain your Kefi- your spirit of Joy, of passion. Dream big, and don't let anyone tell you that you can't achieve exactly what you want to? Remember, nothing is impossible, especially not for those who TRY. So face the world this New Years Eve and shout your challenge, mine is BRING IT!
Happy New Year my lovelies- wherever you are in the world, I'm sending lots of love and happiness your way from a sunny land down under!

Boxing day- a day shopping and chillaxing..? or of giving and service
So I was on fb, seeing all the posts of Happy Boxing Day (and Merry Christmas from all those in the States a day behind) and a friend asked me what exactly Boxing day was. It made me stop and think for a second, all I knew was what Boxing day is to us now, but where it came from and why we celebrate this holiday the day after Christmas on December 26 I knew not.
Today Boxing day means to most Australian's a day when a lot of long awaited movies make their debut, when the massive after Christmas sale's begin and there are lots of bargains to be had just waiting to be found. It means a day spent with friends and family that you may not have seen on Christmas to celebrate with them over a barbie or eating the many leftovers from the day before, or simply lazing by the pool or beach with drink in hand and enjoying the sunshine.
But what are its origins? We can imagine, that like Christmas its real meaning has been lost or changed to suit some commercial purpose. And you couldn't be more correct! Like Christmas is supposed to be the celebration of the birth Jesus, whether you believe he is simply a prophet and man, or the saviour of the world, it matters not if we celebrate it on the right day, all that matters is that we DO. And Boxing day I believe is the same.
Boxing day is known in some places as the Day of Goodwill, and while the exact etymology of the term "boxing" is unclear and there are several competing theories, there are none of which are definitive. The tradition has long included giving money and other gifts to those who were needy and in service positions. The European tradition has been dated to the Middle Ages, but the exact origin is unknown and there are some claims that it goes back to the late Roman/early Christian era; where metal boxes placed outside churches were used to collect special offerings tied to the Feast of Saint Stephen.
Like Christmas, it doesn't matter when you celebrate Boxing day for what it once was, a day of giving, giving to those who do not have as much as we might, in fact the more you give the more blessed I believe you will become, and the more often you help those in need, then the better. For life is never more fulfilling than when we are serving others. But how cool is it that we have a day set specifically aside to help others? It may have been lost in todays society of selfishness and wants, becoming a massive day of shopping for sales, but nevertheless it is a day, a holiday to remember those less fortunate. I challenge you and myself to remember this, plan something for next year and start a new tradition of servitude.
What better time to have a day set aside to think of others than after Christmas day? A day where we get to relish in giving to those we love most, a time spent with family and friends and the giving and receiving of gifts is sometimes paramount and where we stuff ourselves so full of good food we can barely move. Boxing day comes as a gift of itself, for us and those in need, for what is more satisfying than giving to others and not asking or expecting anything in return?
So this or next Boxing day, why not skip some of those sales and think of something you can do to help someone else instead? you may find that it is the best gift that you both gave and received that Christmas, where other presents may break, get consumed or thrown into a box in the garage and soon forgotten about, I bet that something you do for someone else with no agenda will last forever.

Musings of a 24 year old
I woke up this morning to demanding phone calls and txts from two of my best friends with the order- get on skype! Very happily I complied and was greeted with a happy birthday song from Kimmy, Grace and Grace's son, the cheeky little monkey/monster, Taki (aka, my favourite little man). Afterwards I checked my phone and facebook to find many messages of love and birthday wishes, this being preceded by having many of my lovely friends that have been in my life from primary school, high school, RYLA camps and dancing friends over for a birthday dinner the other night, and I feel very loved indeed. Not to mention a call at midnight last night from my dear, darling sister in London, calls from my parents and my Erin Dear and the arrival of some beautiful flowers on my doorstep from a gorgeous friend.
Thinking back over my life, there has been many ups and downs and trials, friends made, some lost. But at the end of the day one wonders what they did to deserve so many good friends and beautiful family who have been there through it all.
This year certainly has been full of ups and downs, sad times, drama's and the most fantastic fun. But all in all it has been one hell of a good year! I have made so many more beautiful friends, got to spend some lovely quality time with both my sisters, Larissa and Anna in Europe, and have had the great pleasure to do quite a bit of traveling- my favourite activity!
As I look down the barrel at my 24th year of life, almost a quarter of a century, or as my sister says it, quarter of a life (I guess she means to live to 100 aye?) I am challenging myself to let go of the things I can't change, to remember the fantastic times I've had and the wonderful people I have met and to do my best to have the most awesome year imaginable! So here's to 2012 and my 24th year, my I learn, grow, love and laugh, remember to thank my friends who are always there for me, how much they mean to me, and of course- here's to more travel adventures! :D
I hope that you all have the most fabulous Christmas and New Year, and I send my love out to all of you all over the world! I truly have the best family and friends a girl could ask for. <3 Lelle

Aussie Jingle Bells
For those of you who wonder what kind of songs we sing for Christmas Down Under when its so hot, well in answer we still listen to white christmas and all of that, but we have one that we've changed the words to fit our summer Christmas. so enjoy the Aussie Jingle Bells.
(remember, a Ute is like a pickup truck, thongs are flip flops, an esky is an ice chest, kelpie is a farm/working dog, and to shoot through means leave)
Aussie Jingle Bells
Dashing through the bush
In a rusty Holden Ute
Kicking up the dust
Esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side
Singing Christmas songs
It’s summer time and I am in
My singlet, shorts & thongs
OH, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
JINGLE ALL THE WAY
CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA
ON A SCORCHING SUMMER’S DAY
JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
CHRISTMAS TIME IS BEAUT
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE
IN A RUSTY HOLDEN UTE
Engine’s getting hot
Dodge the kangaroos
Swaggy climbs aboard
He is welcome too
All the family's there
Sitting by the pool
Christmas day, the Aussie way
By the barbecue!
OH, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
JINGLE ALL THE WAY
CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA
ON A SCORCHING SUMMER’S DAY
JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
CHRISTMAS TIME IS BEAUT
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE
IN A RUSTY HOLDEN UTE
Come the afternoon
Grandpa has a doze
The kids and uncle Bruce
Are swimming in their clothes
The time comes round to go
We take a family snap
Then pack the car and all shoot through
Before the washing up
OH, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
JINGLE ALL THE WAY
