Secret WIP 2019 Soundtrack | Track 5

Every time I start a new writing project (WIP), I always create a mood music playlist in Spotify/YouTube to set the tone for that specific writing project. That way when I hear that playlist or specific songs from that playlist, I can immediately fall into the world of that specific project, no matter what I’ve… Continue reading →

Today makes me feel as if I have stepped into the pages of a dystopian Sci-fi novel. The bizarre thing is that this is our sky in Auckland, New Zealand being affected by the smoke blowing across the Tasman Sea from the Australian Bushfires. In 18 years that I have lived in NZ, I have never witnessed something like this. Photo taken at 5:25pm in Auckland, New Zealand. 🇦🇺💔

Not only is the sky this fiery orange but the very air I stand in is tinged this bizarre orange. It is as if I am looking at the sky around my home through orange lenses. My heart breaks for the devastation across the sea in Australia. Photo taken at 5:25pm. Smoke from the Australian Bushfires now over Auckland, New Zealand. 🇦🇺💔

This shot clearly shows the smoke in the eerily orange-toned fiery sky. Photo taken at 5:25pm. No filter/adjustment. Smoke from Australian Bushfires now over Auckland, New Zealand. 🇦🇺💔

It looks like the sky is on fire. The grey parts seem to be smoke particles, not clouds. There is no filter on this image + no adjustment. Photo taken on my iPhone XR at 5:25pm. Smoke from Australian Bushfires now over Auckland, New Zealand.🇦🇺💔

Sky turning a more intense shade of coral/orange. Photo taken at 5:24pm. I can taste the smoke and smell it. There is no fire in New Zealand. This is smoke blown over our way from the devastating Australian Bush Fires. 🇦🇺💔

Eerie, Apocalyptic Atmosphere today in Auckland as the smoke from the Australian Bushfires moves over New Zealand. Photo taken today at 4:20pm. Thoughts go out to our neighbours across the sea in Australia. 🇦🇺💔

2020 — The start of a new year and a new decade. If this last decade taught me one thing: Life is short and unpredictable. So often we want to save precious things to use for better times but our time is not a guarantee. So this year, this decade I want to use the best things in the NOW and not save them. I want to appreciate NOW. I want to approach everything I do and everyone I meet with a wholehearted attitude. I want to tell my favourite people that I love them and appreciate them. I want to choose joy in every day. I want to enjoy using my “Sunday Best” NOW. Life should be lived, every minute, not watched. Happy New Year! May 2020 be only the start of the best years of your life.

2020 — I’ve got this! SOAR is my 2020 word of the year. My 2020 intentions, the core desire feelings I want to feel this year are: I want to RESTORE. I want to always remember to BREATHE and to pause to take a Breath. I want to FLOW like water. I want to always find at least one silver lining in every day and feel BLISS. I want to live in a daily INDULGENCE of self-care and make time for things/people/places/events/tasks that light my soul. I want to travel more this year whether it be road trips or overseas flights — Wanderlust calls me. What’s your Word of The Year? What are your intentions/goals/dreams for 2020?

Welcome to The New Roaring 20s I pray that your 2020 is full of hope and that each day of this new year is a day full of grace and calm. May all of your storms always be blessed with beautiful rainbows and may your peaks always rise higher over your valleys. May joy be your daily companion and may the love of your favourite people embrace you each day. May you find wonder in the most ordinary moments and may you find adventure in the most mundane. May you know that every morning that you wake up is a gift and not a guarantee. Life is short but precious... May you not just exist but truly live every moment, savouring every little bit of marrow out of life. It’s never too late and you are never too old to dance to music only you hear or follow dreams only you believe in. Make this a year where in all moments you get to choose how you want your life to be.
