Hours before all the gusts arrive. Prep, prep, prep

Emotional speeches. Hearing what some of these girls have been trough was not easy to hear. Made me even more proud to be part of Sister 2 Sister. Such an amazing thing Jessica has built up!

Bidding on some of some of those amazing things such as diamond necklaces,  resorts, whiskey, etc. Forced Ambrose to pose for me all night 🙂

Winner of the diamond necklaces!

One of my favorite part of the night was when the actual trivia started. Every table was involved which was so much fun to watch and participate in. Here is part of our table which was big and little sisters, volunteers, staff, the founder Jessica, newsreader Jacinta Tynan, and of course, Ambrose!  <3

Prep-talk before going on stage.

One of the winner tables from last night.

Auction started and everyone was trying to get their hands on the goodies.

My absolute favorite part of the night! We are all exhausted and had too much energy in our bodies I think. Jessica said that we could take some balloons with us. I am a huge fan of balloons, strange thing to be excited about but nevertheless, I am! I took almost ALL of the balloons with me. Forced them into our cab with Ambrose , Marnee and Aliye.

Great night. Thank you to everyone involved!

Well today I decided to spend my whole day chilling. I woke up early to drive Ambrose to the train (had the biggest smile on my face when I saw all the balloons in the garage this morning! ) back at the house I did my morning meditation.

Made myself some tea and spent the rest of the day in bed studying NLP. I don’t ever remember spending a whole day in bed, but its so damn colt! And my feet are seriously damaged from wearing high heals from 11 am to 11pm yesterday. I was in charge of taking all the pictures and handling all our social media for our trivia night for Sister 2 Sister yesterday. Maybe not the best idea to wear high heals…….

Anyway, that has been my whole day, had no food and way too lazy to get out and buy some so it was biscuits and tea in bed. I never take the time to read anymore. So glad I did today because I have learned so damn much about our brain and habits and values and beliefs. I am going to share with you guys. Just not tonight, I just want to go back to reading more more more 🙂 🙂

Yesterday was a very very long day. Holy Moly…. Woke up around 5 am, hoped into the car with Ambrose. Did a long but productive day at the Sister 2 Sister office. After I took the train back to North Sydney to meet up with Ambrose and some of his colleagues. They were going to a lecture on at UNSW on Housing, Affordability and Economics something…….
They are interested in this kind of stuff. I was there for the free food, drinks and of course, getting a ride home!

I did enjoy the speaker though. Cant remember his name, but it was a professor from Scotland and as most Scottish I met, they are funny and charming people.

It was a great day. I have missed being super busy like this. Since the accident where I hurt my neck I’ve been less able to do as much. So it was good. But I have to say, with the move and a long day like that I was tired as hell once we arrived back to the house. I went to bed straight away and slept from 10pm and woke up midday. Usually I get up around 6am!?!

Today I took it easy, I went for a walk, had a coffee. Came back and started unpacking, washing, and cleaning and dusting. In a very slow pace, I’ve decided a long time ago to eliminate stress ( as much as possible ) from my life, and I think I am doing a great job !

Now its pasta bolognese and State Of Origin in front of the fireplace. Just went of the phone with my mum who lives in Barcelona, she told me they are sweating because its around 35 degrees over there. Here in Australia we have like 10 degrees, so we are all really enjoying the fire 🙂

________________________________________________

After all this moving, packing, lifting I have to say, my body is in need of a massage. This morning I could not find any of my toiletries. I then remembered that I had left some of our products in the bathroom, and the cleaners must have thrown them out! Oh well, not much to do about it now, even if it sucks a little bit.

The sky is still gray but the city ( I am having breakfast in Surry Hills before going to volunteering ) is busy and I love that.
I thought I start the day a bit still because I have a full day ahead of me. Woke up 5:45, going to be at the office from 9 to 5 and the going back to the flat in North Sydney for a task, meeting up Ambrose and to drive to The Sydney University for a lecture. We are going to be home around 10PM. Looooonnnggggg Day!

Okey one hour at the time, first stop, Sister 2 Sister. xx
