Y'all.

Last week kinda kicked me in the chops, yeah? Nothing out of the ordinary, but it was just one of those weeks. We had some good times, but I'm glad to be on this side of last week!

Something that resonated with me last week was that I have this amazing camera, and I live in such a beautiful place, and I have such ridiculously cute kids, yet I almost never take photos.

I live in a place that looks like a postcard. Seeing it through the eyes of someone who's never been here, it looks pretty spectacular. Things that I pass by and don't see every single day, to someone else would be breathtaking.

So... I'm making a new page, which will hopefully be updated twice a month, with photographs of places and things I've seen here in Australia. Since the page really isn't meant to work like a regular one, I'll put a post up on the main page (in the living room, if you like) telling you it's up, and then you can just click on over to the other page (the gallery?). If you feel like commenting, just do it on the main post.

I've got some other plans for the blog, including a regular segment on what I'm reading, but that may take a while - I'm kind of busy these days.

I read this post (and I don't remember where it was!) but it left me with this thought that hasn't gone away. I want to be an author. I want to be an official, paid, published author. It's a dream of mine, and all too often, I laugh it off as being an impossible dream. Reading this post made me realise that it doesn't have to be impossible. Hard? Probably. Will it take a long time? Given how long it takes me just to drink a cup of coffee, more than likely. But not impossible. I believe in a God who laughs at the impossible. And writing is something I feel passionate about. My grammar leaves a lot to be desired, but I am passionate about two things (not counting my family here, because they are people and not things) - reading, and writing.

So. That's my big dream - what's yours?

XO,
Sarah
