My EOM PP inspiring you to LIVE life!

What on earth is a PP and an EOM I hear you ask and how can it be inspiring? And is that my motorbike - yes it is! (well, i sit on the back...but it's way cooler back there!)

So...

I am an adrenaline junkie and I LOVE motorcycle rides!

I'm sure that a lot of you who follow my page might not have even known that.

You wanna know something else?

As a writer, I used to fall asleep in my accounting class and I don't think I learned one single thing, except maybe how to graffiti on my desk with a cool art-liner (true story!)

But, one thing I did learn (when I had to 'book keep' for a home based business) was the term EOM!

So, what does EOM stand for?

Well, in case you didn't know (like me), it stands for "End of the Month!"

So, what does PP stand for?

Well, tbh (sorry, another abbreviation)

To be honest, I made it up.

It stands for "Personal Post!"

I was thinking the other day, as a writer, as an author, as "April May"...

I wondered if people out there scrolling through social media realise that I am actually a real person, not just a link insert-er on a community page!

I mean, it's true - I sit down five days a week typing out blogs and chapters for books and articles and skits and poetry and podcasts (I do all of those things btw (sorry another abbreviation - I promise I will stop now!)

I actually write every single day, from around 8am to around 4pm - Monday to Friday (and sometimes even on the weekends!)

But - I also LOVE to have fun.

I love to LIVE LIFE and I'd love to INSPIRE you to do that too.

SO...

I decided, you know what -

I am gonna do a PP at the EOM

Every month!

So YOU can be inspired to LIVE life.

It will be on my website via a blog and uploaded as a link on my page

I understand and can appreciate that different seasons hold different opportunities in regards to what LIVING LIFE at its fullest looks like...

I have been the teen party-goer, the young mum of one, two... then, the older mum with a handful of teenagers, a 'boy mom' a divorcee, a newlywed and now I'm a Nanny!

And as a Motorcycling loving, full-time writing Nanny, the list below was my EOM antics for January (I know its a bit late - but it's still February right?)

I hope it inspires you!

In JANUARY...

I re-emerged from a 6 week ‘Facebook fast’ - it felt fabulously freeing ! And the absence of annoying ads, and addictive scrolling was refreshing!

I taught myself how to solve a RUBIX CUBE! - Fun Fact - I am an eighties girl and I always thought it was just a trick! Turns out - it's not!

I hung up my headphones re my radio show after being on air for 2yrs and 9mo!

I cried too many tears when feeling overwhelmed, rejected, hormonal or lonely.

I went camping in a tent right on a river and was asked,

“Is this your permanent home?”

(errr... no!)

I saw some epic crashes and literally ate dust at the speedway.

I turned pages of a Bible at the Salvos that was 135 years old!

I read my own Bible every day!

I motorbiked to the northern most tip of the south Island of NZ on the West Coast - epic! I saw the most ferocious ocean I’ve ever seen in my life there.

I explored all kinds of nooks n crannies in a giant cave, unguided (trust me it was very dark and scary)

I watched Hamnet and Song Sung Blue at the movies

I experienced real adventure riding at its best and crossed a few precarious rivers!

I also met a pregnant goat hunter on the top of one of those hills and I discovered some very cool, old condemned cottages too

I was very grateful (and surprised) to read an amazing review of two of my books in a national magazine

I took a pic of a cute web only to realise it had about 1000 spiders in it!

I was unexpectedly contacted by a traditional publisher interested in my pre-teen treasure book Pure As Gold

I swam in a ffffreezing river and walked over it on a terrifying “only-one-at-a-time” swing bridge! (and I hate bridges!)

I proudly listened to and watched my granddaughter sing the whole ABC song

AND

I joyfully adored an ultrasound of my first ever baby grandson !!!

(They both live overseas so I am super grateful for video apps on my phone and instant photos of the 21st century!)
