Gotta Catch Em All! – Your Minimap To Life
On April 25, 2018 by adminAfter three years of our relationship (and 22 years of my life in Australia) – we thought it was due time for my partner to return to his roots to visit the family and beauty of Tasmania. As his pop hands me the map of Tasmania I’m left with the thought of how nice it would be if we had our own minimap to help guide us through the journey of our lives. Much like a UAV there assisting the completion of each mission, guiding us to unlocking each level of life.

Cya St Valentine – Breaking Relationship Expectations
On February 19, 2018 by adminValentines day this year turned out to be far from what I expected. Sitting by the hospital bed beside the one I love I pondered the expectations of this day and relationships as a whole. The idea we get in our head of how it’s supposed to be, how this day is supposed to be and ultimately how our relationships are supposed to be. We believe our problems arise when we don’t reach them when in actual fact it is the expectations that are the problem. So here’s my perspective on breaking relationship expectations.

Sailing Your Path From Wasted Time
On February 11, 2018 by adminEver looked back and wondered if you should have taken a different direction? Looked back wished that you hadn’t wasted time on a particular period of your life?
I have been wanting to write this piece for quite a while now but it wasn’t until I truly explored and accepted something within myself that I was able to. And that is this…

New Year, Who Dis?- Will the real Kaitlyn Scott please stand up?
On January 21, 2018 by adminIt’s fascinating the power the social construct of time ticking into the New Year has on our inspiration and motivation. Coming into the New Year with all these fantastic expectations, a fresh start, the ideology that things are going to be different this time, yet we’re often left disappointed as nothing changes. Don’t get me wrong I love any kind of motivation for positive change; that feeling of a clean slate; our annual check in and refocus on our goals.
*Puts hand up proudly for being the lamest person ever* But there is no greater feeling for me (Queen of to-do lists), than watching a video from my favourite Youtubers and ending on a motivation high eager to implement the new perspective into practise in my life.

Writing the Wrongs of the Year- Lessons for 2018
On December 30, 2017 by adminMaybe it’s the university English language major in me but I couldn’t help but review the lessons of the year in the best way I know how, just as I would a good book.
In my first year of university my lecturer explained that the first step is to draw out the key points, the devices leading to the main themes. The stand outs, the signs, the enlightenments and the sparks. Using devices like characterisation, metaphors, similes, repetition and alliteration (when the same letter or sound is used to begin closely connected words).
Leading into 2018, how have the characters in your life developed? Who brought drama and pessimism. Who gravitated into your life and equally who gravitated out of it. The people who remain in your story, are meant to be there. Which characters remained consistent? Just as every year will continue to do, a series of events demonstrated the consistent people in my life. The people who message on a Wednesday night asking how my week’s been and the ones who message me to get home safe. You are a reflection of the people you surround yourself with so determine whether those around you helped you grow or who contributed to your fall. Note the importance this places on your character’s development on your journey.

Food For Thought: Fuelling the Mind
On November 29, 2017 by adminAs some of you may know I am nearing the end of a fitness challenge (being held accountable just got very real!). When I began I believed that how I felt about my physical appearance would be my focus but the results so far have highlighted a lesson in myself that’s so much more important.

From Berlin to Brisbane: Searching for that temporary high
On November 11, 2017 by White Scarf PerspectiveAs I walked through the halls of the corporate building to the kitchen at work I reached up and grabbed my favourite coffee cup. Walking back it got me thinking how such a small gesture could bring me happiness. Then as I looked out at the building next door I wondered if it was the beautiful colours and patterns on the cup, or the caffeine hit. As I glanced at this building next door it sparked in me a resemblance to the gorgeous Berlin Cathedral. Instantly I craved to be there, to be anywhere except at work, at home. Anyone know the feeling?

Culling the Clutter to Happiness
On October 30, 2017 by White Scarf PerspectiveWhen I was reflecting on the times of my life that I have felt the most at peace with myself, the times I was truly and wholeheartedly happy, I realised that more often than not these were times I was living out of a suitcase. At first I believed this to be solely because I was overseas and it was the experiences I was having, the country I was in and the people I was with. It wasn’t until not long ago that I realised there was more to it than that…
