EOM PP INSPO #2

Be inspired to LIVE LIFE even on sucky days...

Hello Facebook Friends | Followers of all things AMG (April May Gems)

Here is my second shot of my hope to inspire you to...

LIVE LIFE

with my (albeit belated) "EOM PP" (End Of Month Personal Post)

Sorry - yes it's a little late as February is long gone but as ya'll can see - I tend to get a tad busy!

May my words always be an inspiration to you to -

take life with both hands and live it!

(even on sucky days)

During my February...

My sucky days (let's get them outa the way first) included :-

- menopausal madness,

- remedy researching for how to cure my sleeplessness saga and

- facetime tears, missing my fam over in Aus

BUT I also managed to do these things...

I ...

Motorbiked across 26 bridges in a day (and I hate bridges!)

Became a secret spy for an outdoor Xscape game (we had one job -“Save Our Town”- epic mission fail-sorry whole town!)

I highly recommend the Richmond XSCAPE rooms btw

Joined the circus (not really, but we did go to it!) The human cannonball was my fave!

Motorbiked passed the sea at Kai Teri Teri on a very hot day (yes we jumped in!)

Walked through the tunnel at Kowatiri - built in 1923!

Had a post tunnel-walk dip in the cold river (gosh, what’s wrong with us?)

Cried on Valentine’s Day (overwhelmed with the ol' ‘I feel so special’ tears) - My man is a bit of a keeper.

Motorbiked along Queen Charlotte and stopped in at the pub there that lets you chalk on their walls!!

Nursed a poor broken pussycat (how does one dislocate one’s feline toe?)

Poor Smoochie Moochie kitty

Sailed overseas (look it was a 5 minute ferry ride for a picnic but that’s still over-seas right?) Nelsonites - if you have not done it already - go visit:-

HaulaShore island - just jump on the Nelson Ferry!

Got lassoed in to write & choreograph an ‘equestrian skit’ (performance is on 27th March - only in front of about 160 people - eek!)

Came home to find the equestrian team of hobby horses (and unicorns) in my bed!

Lol my hubby is too funny!

Bought a remote control poo ?! ikr who does that - its actually hilarious!

Walked with a friend and ate a sugary secretion from a sap sucking insect straight off the tree! (aka honeydew - sounds gross - tastes delish!)

Celebrated my first born son turning 30!

Celebrated a lovely friends 60th - if you haven't been, I highly recommend:-

Joe's Garage, in Richmond

Flew to Auckland for a Tattoo (that would be the Epic Edinburgh Tattoo) a once in a lifetime opportunity - a gifted ticket that I do not take for granted!

Strolled over to a very cool car show at the AnP showgrounds - sadly they wouldn't let me take the Mustang home.

Watched the 2026 Wuthering Heights movie - tbh I very much prefer to hear Kate bush sing about it! (We came home and watched the 1939 version on YouTube - and thought it was way better!)

Wrote a lot ! (my best effort was two chapters in one day - of He is Faithful from A to Z Volume 2 - coming out this year hopefully!!!)

I am often at "Vanilla Bean Cafe" in Richmond, early in the mornings so come say, 'Hi!'

Submitted two articles - for two different magazines.

Waited patiently for a publisher response to my pre-teen manuscript - Pure as Gold (also hoping to publish this in 2026)

Absolutely thrashed my husband at Crowns! (Straight tally of 0’s all the way baby!)

*seriously get that game y’all.

Saw a hilarious wholesome movie called HOLY DAYS - highly recommend!

Ate too much and exercised too little (I'm working on changing these! - maybe NEXT month.)

Read my Bible every day. I'm currently in Leviticus - looking for Jesus (and finding Him!) in the old books.

Lifted LOTS of prayers up for lots of people and sang lots of songs. I especially love Project of Love - check him out here .

And ... that's about all folks.

If you're feeling inspired to live life (despite sucky days) or perhaps you just
