Australia!
Gidday from Oz!

I'm
wanting to keep you up to date with my whereabouts, and it seems email is the best way to do that.

On August 28th I flew to Brisbane, Australia to begin the next chapter, some might even say, the next Book of my life. It has been an incredible Odyssey, and what love story isn't?
 
Suffice to say, I'm finally feeling settled. I had left much of my stuff behind in Brisbane in February and I was being welcomed back home. It was an odd sensation, however, when I first arrived to see my clothes hanging in the closet, my pictures on the walls, right down to my "ducky blanket" on the couch before I unpacked. I spent the first 2 weeks here just resting & reading & settling.
 
For those who don't know I broke my hand and middle finger knuckle a week before I Angela's bum handdeparted from Vancouver. Both are healing well, although my finger is still in pain when I bend it. I see the orthopedic surgeon Thursday for an update & X-rays. (And yes, I am taking calcium).

Late last week I met with one of three women who own a Clinic called Sowelu (www.sowelu.com.au) in Brisbane, in an area similar to Kitsilano, in Vancouver. I will be renting a counseling room to see clients & cultivate my counseling/meditation/teaching practice two half days a week beginning in October. It is a like-minded community and I'll be working out of a space where I can tap into their data base, use their big room for meditation classes & workshops & be of higher service. I'm excited.

On the tax front, I will return to Vancouver in March for two months to continue my tax business there. So for those of you reading this who are clients, rest assured, your taxes are in good hands still! My assistant, Rachel, continues to open my mail & we talk on a weekly basis. Things can always be sent to my Vancouver address & she will forward them to me here.

StevandAngLife in relationship with Steve continues to be wonderful with its inevitable peaks & valleys dependent upon my communication with my higher powers & self.  Wedding plans are being finalized & happiness & excitement is building. Numbers are small, trying to stay under 25 guests. For those who want to put it on their calendars, the date for the wedding in Australia is December 12th. In Vancouver we will have a big reception/party, tentatively booked for March 5th, 2010, venue tbc.

Being part of Josh's life, (Steve's son) who just turned 13 last week is also going very well. Seems he's maturing at a rapid rate & surprises both Steve & I daily. This photo was taken after winning his semi-finals in soccer a few weeks back. Yes, he's going to be a heart-breaker.

 
Lastly, my first baby, Zola, my cat, arrives in Brisbane on October 7th. He's in Sydney quarantine right now, and judging by the almost daily reports I'm receiving he's doing well & is accepting as ever of his mother's international travels. Zola cute

I don't want to rub it in, but soon the seasons will be turning from spring to summer & with it the hot weather will arrive. It's been in the high 20s all week & they are anticipating pushing into the low 30s. We're all chomping at the bit to have the first swim of the season...
 
Please keep in touch with your news. I always love hearing from you. I'm not always so prompt with my reply, but know you live with me here.
 
 
With that, I'll say good bye.
Big hugs & love,
 
Angela
