dreams and what we make of them

I must have said that before but one of the reasons to move back to Austria was to start out on a creative adventure. The plan was really simple... get a warehouse and turn it into a workshop so we have space. Everyone's been a bit annoyed with creating stuff and never being able to finish and because there's no room for it, to always clear everything away. The result was that stuff got put in boxes and it was such an effort to put everything out and stuff it back unto shelfs every day.
So we've been looking and looking and after weeks we finally found the perfect spot. A lovely little warehouse tucked away in a courtyard, perfect for the four of us. Anyway the day before we were ready to sign the lease one of us pulled out and we had to cancel the whole endeavour.
Now what do you do? Go about sulking or believe that there is something better out there for you?! In a couple weeks it will probably make sense to all of us. Even though it sucks to be in this position right now, we're not gonna give up! And you know what I can't wait for the day we get the keys to it and we will celebrate!

Paris on my mind

So I should be getting ready for a wedding, but while getting dressed and listening to Phoenix I can't stop dreaming of Paris. How beautiful would it be at this time of year.
Maybe it's got something to do with watching Marie Antoinette last week or that Lidia - housemate for life - is walking Parisienne streets right now.
Anyway should get ready haha

dreams and life

Recently I was asked if I was interested to speak at a high school. Not sure if it will happen due to crazy schedule but I've been thinking about it ever since.
What do you tell young people when you get an opportunity such as this?  First I thought that they'll get me to speak about Austria (done that before at a primary school in Glasgow and all those little 10 year olds wanted to know was, if I've ever been on the set of Sound of Music), but their teacher has been pushing them to pursue their dreams lately, so they thought I could help out with that.
Not sure how much you can talk about dreams and pursuing them without bringing God into the picture!!


My dreams have varied over the years, from joining the circus when I was about 11 years old over working in the fashion/film industry(costumes) when I was about 15 years old to working in the events/music industry and touring with a band. Funny how all these things have one thing in common - travelling. 
Despite all this I made a decision years ago to follow God wherever He wants me to be and life has been a roller coaster ride to say the least. He's brought me to Scotland, Australia, England and currently the US (travelling anybody!!!) on this journey. I've worked in events, with a band, in the fashion industry and most recently got a chance to gain experience in the film industry. How crazy is that?


At the end of the day all I can do is agree with Paul who says in Ephesians 3,

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, I'm thankful for this adventure I was allowed to embark on and more than ever for my family. 

Although my parents don't understand what I do most of the time and think I'm insane the rest of the time - they never put limits around us kids in terms of what we can achieve. I honour them for who they are and how they raised us. They recently celebrated 30 years of marriage which has become rare in todays society. Love them and a gigantic THANK YOU goes out to them!!!!!!

Can't wait what the next year will bring but I can smile at the future, knowing it is in safe hands.
