Hey lovely people, welcome to our weekly open post.
You know the deal: I’m going to kick us off with a little something-something that’s on my mind and then it’s over to you.
How often does your mind wander back to somewhere special you’ve been on holiday – just for a moment, during a meeting, in the car, right before you fall asleep?
I keep thinking about this completely stunning place I went with my mama one weekend in the sunshine.
Sublime.
Bells at Killcare is this ridiculously sublime little sanctuary on the Central Coast – it’s like a mini version of the Hamptons.
Everything is white and navy stripe, impeccably presented, bathed in sunshine and completely delicious.
The food is out of this world, the gardens are Eden-like, and if you book the right time, you can go on a mother-daughter yoga retreat like we did.
And the spa! The spa is heaven, absolutely heaven. Facials, massages, the works.
My beautiful mama and I spent 48 hours in this beautiful hotel and walked away feeling rejuvenated… Like we’d spent weeks in a tropical paradise hidden on the Central Coast.
So… It’s been a really stressful time for me recently.
I just keep daydreaming about that lovely weekend and wishing I was back at Bells at Killcare…
What are you daydreaming about this week? Where are you, and where would you rather be?

I was thinking of how much we enjoy agrotourism. Maybe it's because both of my grandparents were farmers, and it's my way of reconnecting, or maybe it's just that I miss yard work! ;-) Is that strange? http://bit.ly/TsyaxF
I am in desperate need of a full time job. I was made redundant a few years ago, and it's become increasingly difficult to find something. I currently work casually in a chocolate shop, but am in need of something a lot more permanent. I have applied for for so many jobs, mainly in the areas of SEO, marketing and copywriting, as this is where I have the most experience, but to no avail. It's a sad state of affairs when I keep getting turned down for not having enough experience, but I'm still reasonably new to the workforce. My stress levels rise a little bit with each rejection as my parents aren't getting younger. I should be supporting them now, not the other way around. I should be getting postcards from their travels.
Ange, your parents would be upset, I am sure, to hear that you are worrying about supporting them in old age. They probably have a house and there is the pension. Parents don't expect their children to support them in old age, they want to see their children happy and settled, not worried about them. No parent wants that. Take care of yourself and keep looking for jobs and you will get one. xxx
