Mama's got a new office!

After over four months of thick, woolly socks and a chill no duvet could match, spring has finally arrived in Sydney! I stepped outside this morning to water our recently planted herb garden only to discover I was seriously overdressed. Hallelujah! I raced inside to my closet and thumbed through all my skirts before settling on a floaty, floor length beauty. Perfect!

Now for the best part, setting up my new outdoor office!

Last year my partner and I were living in a shoe box in the inner east of Sydney. As a Kansas girl who was used to the open sky, I needed more space and easy access outdoors. As the new year rolled around, I declared 2007 the year of the balcony. All I wanted was an urban refuge and gosh darn it, I wasn't going to settle until I found my oasis. We looked for two months before striking gold in the inner west suburb of Newtown - a spacious living plan with a massive balcony facing west. Could it get any better?

The weather turned cold two weeks after we moved in. All winter I longed for the day I could venture out, barefoot with a cup of mint tea in my hand, to watch the sun sink below the horizon. Finally, that day has come. I'm glad I get to share this moment with you.

My new workspace

Barefoot and fancy free


Be happy. Be Healthy. Be Whole.

Womankind.
