HERE’S WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE SAID

“Always go with the choice that scares you the most, because that’s the one that is going to require the most from you.” Caroline Myss - - On this day, just over a week ago, some of us gave our most to get up Malchin Peak; some of us gave our most to stay at base camp recover, relax & ‘miss out’. - - Know what you need and do that even when FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) kicks in... what did someone call it? JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out). - - Great day all round!
Walking with wildflowers, walking with whales, walking with wonderful people ... through the Fitzgerald Biosphere. Join us this September. 😃🌻You’ll love it!
Solo time on Lake Baikal... - - I got the train from Ulaan Baatar to Irkutsk, 24 hours later caught a tram outside the train station towards a car rental place, didn’t find it, saw the Marriott nearby so went there for help, rental car owner brought rental car to me, found directions on google maps and drove out of Irkutsk in peak hour traffic 💪🏼😬 it was 270 kms to the cottage I’d rented on Lake Baikal... 😅deciphering Cyrilic letters I made it in the rain and the dark... on the right side of the road... loved every minute of it!! - - Yes, I’ve been wearing the same shirt for 4 days 😄
In dreams, anything can be anything, and everybody can do. We can fly, we can turn upside down, we can transform into anything. Twyla Tharp - - In real life too, we can transform just about anything with a different perspective, don’t you think?
“Instructions for living life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” Mary Oliver - - Are you ready to come and be astonished by our Australian native wildflowers? These beautiful species are all found along the Cape to Cape track and you don’t have to pay that much attention, we’ll point them out... and maybe like us, you won’t stop telling others about them. 🌻💛😊
‘you belong among the wildflowers...’
“Doing what you like is freedom, liking what you do is happiness.” Anonymous - - Feeling both happy and free... and very, very grateful. 😊💛
“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.” – T.S. Eliot - - Sitting in bed with a coffee it seems surreal that this was just same time yesterday - but that’s the constant onwards journey. - - I have 3 other photos taken at exactly this spot. When I took the first one in 2015 I had NO idea I would be returning... let alone three more times, but a small flame was lit in my heart. - - Go the distance, aim too far... see where you can go.
What an intrepid team of adventurous women!! Thank you for an outstanding experience! - - Summiting our first high pass: 3,300 metres. - - Back in Ulgii now after 9 days hiking through stunning wilderness. This was day 5.
Getting a few provisions in the local market in Ulgii
Short hike to look down at the town of Ulgii - we set off for the Tavan Bogd National Park this morning.
"Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." — Anne Lamott - - Come unplug yourself on the spectacular Cape to Cape...
Live the width as well as the length .... of your life ... paraphrasing Diane Ackerman - - Maybe its the almost perfect weather during the day, with skies that match Australia’s for their expansiveness and intense blues; maybe it’s the wide open space and freedom, with hardly anyone around; maybe it’s the remoteness and the adventurous feeling of walking alongside mountain ranges that separate Mongolia, China, Kazakhstan and Russia. Whatever the reason may be, walking through this part of Mongolia is a hiker’s dream.
Perhaps the most insidious resistance to embracing creativity is the fear of being ridiculed by those around us. Why would you want to think creatively when thinking creatively might make us aware of things/patterns/possibilities we had not previously noticed forcing us to take (or NOT) certain actions that might disrupt our lives, alarm our loved ones or appear irrational to the rest of the world? We all have ideas, all the time. How many of us have looked at paintings and thought, gee, with some drawing classes, I reckon I could do something like that! Or, my life is so interesting someone should make a movie out of it! Or drank a fresh juice at an expensive eatery and thought, damn, my orange, grapefruit, turmeric and lime juice is so much better than this, I should start a business! If you embraced creativity and started to notice opportunities, embrace artistic impulses and start, as Madeleine L’Engle put it, disturbing the universe, you never know what could happen…and that freaks us out! What if what we try doesn’t work and it ends up being rubbish? Somehow it seems better to just stay safe & comfortable and keep telling ourselves: “I don't have a creative bone in my body!” or my favourite: “I’m too old to go in that direction now, this is what I know, I’ve trained and studied and am experienced in this, I can’t suddenly become a beginner in that! So when people ask: “Do you know how old I’ll be by the time I learn to play the piano, guitar, saxophone, sing, draw, cook, dance, program computers, design furniture, write songs, make airplane models, do stand up comedy, make films, take good photos …(insert any number of possibilities here)? - - Here’s a great answer: “Yes… the same age you will be if you don’t!” Isn’t that a fact?!
‘Those who dwell... among the beauties and mysteries of the earth, are never alone or weary of life’ Rachel Carson - - Sublime sunset in the Fitzgerald River National Park - there’s no beating the connectedness and awe that time in nature can bring. - - Beautiful capture 📷 @echoeimages 🙏🏼😊
Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.... I'm so excited this morning ... I’m getting ready for our second year at the Every Woman Expo. When I decided to participate for the first time last year, it was a big investment for our small company. I had never participated in anything like it before and I just had to trust that it would have a return. And it did. But not in the way I thought. Yes, we had a few sales from it, but the main return was much more than that. During the 3 days I had over 500 conversations. I heard about previous walking adventures, struggles to sustain creative dreams and lots of achievements - it did not feel like I was selling, but meeting wonderful people that I had so much in common with - that was GOLD 🌟🌟🌟. - - It also helped me lose my fear of selling & made me FALL IN LOVE with our products: walking adventures and retreats created with love and a WHOLEHEARTED commitment to more connection to nature, self-expression and the wellness and fulfilment that come from living our most creative self. If you have time and are in Perth FRI 21 - SUN 23 June come say hi, I would love to meet you and hear about your creative journey and walking adventures and tell you more about ours. - - If you are trying to achieve something and it doesn’t seem like you’re quite there yet...!! keep going, one step in front of the other... I really do think the universe really loves a stubborn heart. 😃💛🔥
I couldn’t tell if this was a Southern Right, a rare Blue or a Humpback whale, but I know that it was less than 30 metres from the beach at Point Anne when we walked the Mamang Trail last September!! We were stoked to see these beautiful creatures so close up! - - What a beauty! - - It’s the season right now through to early December... - - Another awesome capture by Margaret River photographer Donna Wolter @echoeimages 🙌🏼⭐️👏🏼
