Louise Joy!

One of our oldest and goldest friends in the whole wide world is Lou. She is based on the other side of the planet in North America and spends her life hanging on a farm near San Francisco and playing in the Fernie snow. She has always been a great person - full of smarts - and has grown exponentially in heart, mind and spirit over the last few years. She has found her 'tribe' over there, but I feel, we Aussies remain her 'family'....the boys love surfing, watching movies and eating at sushi train with her. Gav loves having a beer and strumming the guitar with her and me, well I just can't get past a big D & M on the balcony accompanied by a home cooked feast and copious amounts of white wine, vinyl and pool (Oh the hangover)!

Lou reminds us to savour the moment, put your energy into what really matters (ie what you love to do and makes your life better) and accept/appreciate things as they are. Her mantra on this trip was:
" You CAN have it all - just not all at once!"

I am so thankful that the boys have adults like her to know and learn from. People who have chosen a different kind of life and are glowing with happiness. It's so healthy for them to understand that there are many roads to travel and many ways to live - here, overseas, on farms, moving around, no fixed address - and that they are all valid and equally 'real'! The more types of people we can meet and spend time with, the more open minded we become.....

We love you Lou!
