Networks.

Over the past year I have truly come to learn just how lucky I am. I have such an amazing network of people around me.

Over the years people have come and fell away and sometimes we have found each other again. I have reconnected with people I was friends with in Primary School, I intermittently keep in touch with besties from High School, my Mums Group is always there despite us all being so busy we barely see each other anymore, old work friends still check in and we keep up to date with our lives and over the past 5 years I have met some of my closest friends through kinder, daycare, the kids school, hubbies cricket club, Uni and my new business venture. I also love the connections I have made with people through Instagram.

I have such a varied network and I love it. I have so much support around me and know that someone is only ever a phone call away. I love that I can have conversations with people who get me, people who are so similar to me. I love being able to talk with someone about the stresses of Uni one day, the next I am discussing my fave Thermomix recipe or health and fitness and the day following that I can be discussing homewares. 

Having a support network has been key for me even more so since having kids. It's nice to hear that people are going through or have been through the same thing. It's nice to have people to have a coffee or a wine with, someone to go and sit down the beach with or exercise with. I am so lucky to know so many wonderful people from all walks of life, from all different age brackets and I am most lucky to have many of my close family be some of my very best friends.
