Walking on a Dream....

As many of you know, my killer determination can often take on a life of its own in helping create or find opportunities wherever and whenever I choose to let it exert itself. My ambition and ability to create huge change within my life seems to happen with relative ease these days. All I ever need is a little of my unmistakable courage, a splash of life’s passion and a big slice of energy and I seem to be able to create a focus within me that cannot be silenced until every last detail of my desires and goals have been achieved. My ability to build a focus and consistently work towards it in a meticulously calculating way is sometimes quite shocking to me once I am left standing on the other side of it. I often put it down to luck, and I certainly feel a lot of it must be (thank god, it hasn’t run out yet!) but I do appreciate that a lot of what I do achieve comes down to my focus and knowing exactly what it is I am working towards.

And so here I am again... Standing on the other side of that killer determination, wondering how on earth I was able to create such a huge amount of change for myself yet again. With less than 24 hours before I find myself beginning the next adventure I simply cannot wait because this time I know the change I have created is the change that I really want. This is what I know I need and really want more than anything right now.

So whether it was luck or my determination or a mixture of the both I seem to have created a life for myself in London. A great new Job, a lovely apartment which I will sign the lease for on Tuesday, an amazing friend from Australia as my house mate, a new city to explore in a new country of residence for me and a wonderful new partner to share it all with. Normal life awaits me and I cannot wait to begin it.

My new job will see me become a private chef for a family who live in Notting Hill. The family are Norwegian and have three children under the age of ten. The hours are great; From Monday to Friday, 12-7pm, which will allow time for me to pursue my other passions and the best part will be having my weekends back! YAY! What a relief!

My lovely new apartment is in Parsons Green (SW6). Yes that’s right, Kimberly Parsons in Parsons Green!! Bec, my Australian house mate, whom I used to be in the same state volleyball team with fell in love with the Parsons Green, Fulham area. We fell in love with this apartment and cannot wait to move in. It is currently being renovated with new carpets going down and a brand new kitchen and bathroom to be installed also, thus we are very excited and feel lucky to have found exactly what we were looking for in our area of choice.

So it seems I have hit the trifecta! Is it actually possible for me to sit here and consider that I might just have it all? Everything I have wanted and desired seems to have materialised and now all that stands in my way of actually beginning my new adventure in London is one final night in Morzine.

I am hoping it isn’t all an illusion and I do find myself actually walking on this dream....
