on the sixth day of her 'Around Australia' road trip

The plan is to spend the next 12 months travelling and exploring, thinking, reading and writing … and becoming a better person along the way.

I'll be exploring the land around the coastline of Australia - most likely travelling along the south coast (The Great Australian Bight), up the west coast, over the top through Darwin and back down the east coast), camping rough / camping comfy and staying at intentional communities along the way.

During this time I will be co-writing a mystery novel with the man I've come to cherish and hope to share my life with - a very intense, intellectual man who has his own journey to make.

I had hoped to have been “Fabulous At 50” and then when I missed that milestone, “Fantastic At 55” - but my goal now is “Sensational At 60!”   I've got five years to get there. 

I've included a photo of one of my avatars in Second Life because she's my newest one and was the one to strike out on her own and make a new life for herself.   I've come to realise that my SL avatars represent different aspects of myself and it's just easier to nurture them, symbolically, than it is to nurture this flesh and blood evocation of 'self'.
