Men are a mystery ....to me.

It's Sunday, ask me if I love Sundays?

Gorgeous. I do.

I've spent the past hour or two ....pottering around cleaning the bathroom,
hanging out the spare sheets in gale force winds (Giraffe boy had a friend stay over) ..and otherwise enjoying myself.

I am .. I kid you not, in a joyful, happy state, simply from having a nice time, in my new, old castle ...the single life is hard to explain ...exciting, freeing and also of course, more vulnerable.

Men ...are a mystery to me. At times I'd rather clean the bathroom.



I'd like one. I think.

Everytime one gets close I roll my eyes and run. Haha...

When I say close I mean about 10 feet away ...or 300kms.

Or he might be looking at me and gasp, saying something.

I'd like to respond ...I might ...

I have today, a couple of times ..turned down a couple of ummmmm

I wish my best friend Michele was here she would give you a couple of really good words, I don't use myself, but I love it when she does!

Some ...cut so quickly to what they want. I did say some ..not all.

I had one approach me today who said he was a......psychic and he could feel me so close ...



I did let him know if he was a psychic it was fascinating how little he knew about the gentle art of seduction and about me!

I can see a lot of culling ...

Culling? Good grief.

Dating. Sarah Lulu is back in the dating game ..for the first time since the 70's.



I don't know if everything is different, or just I am.

I can't remember that far back!!!!!

I'm not sure I'm up to this ..

But .. I do know this, I have to do something, act... take a chance,
baby steps, be in the mix, do life.

I've been saying that, haven't I?

I know.

Witnesses. You are all my witnesses and cheer squad.

No good talking about wanting something and doing nothing.

I need to wish, pray and take a step ...then let the Universe do it's magic.

I'm going to need lots of support and it's likely I'm going to have an immaculate, spotless, shiny bathroom.

Thank you God.

Friday Photo Shoot Outs - Life, bliss and wishes.

It's Friday again.

I haven't had time to take any new photos this week and I realised that it felt more like pressure rather than fun to get something done this week or next.

The reason?

My life ...is becoming more beautiful, more fulfilling and richer in experiences.

Hallelujah!!!!!!

I'm so so so very grateful to the Friday Photo Shoot Out Group for giving me gorgeous topics for so long. I really needed a distraction/focus ...something to do and give me joy, especially on weekends (when I took most of my photos)...when I first set out on my new single life.

But the three week rule, you know, post or be removed from the group, which has been adopted ...feels like a commitment I'm not willing to make.

When I started a long time ago now ... Reggie Girl suggested I join, she said there were no rules and that did appeal to me!

Since then Reggie Girl has also moved on to different things ...and the group has become more and more structured and directed ...and a great job those people are doing, ..but it's not what I need in the space and time I have available for pure fun or joy.

It's interesting that Wednesday Wishcasting uses that Mr Linky Widget, and there is no obligation, simply people post or don't and I've discovered such a lot of loving people who support my wishes. I don't think I've missed a week, but I know it won't matter if I do.

I like that inclusive rather than exclusive feel. I don't have to do or be anything ...I can just turn up, as myself, when I wish.

In addition .....

It's almost time for the December Christmas season and lots and lots of family fun, my daughter Ms Spirit and granddaughter Matilda arrive on the 16th of December for a couple of weeks (Mr G. Ms Spirit's hubbie arrives closer to Christmas) ...I have both my sons Giraffe boy, who lives with me and Le Chef (and Miss K.) who lives across town and it's SUMMMMMEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I might party, I might lounge around like a lizard, I might fall in love, I might eat mangoes and wear hats and summer dresses and be free ...the sky is the limit and God has a bigger imagination than I.

I'm taking almost three weeks Annual Leave from work, from the 16th to experience bliss. *smile*



So thank you for everything you have given me ...

And to all my wonderful, amazing blogger friends who support my adventures.

Thank you God.

Wishcasting Wednesday - What step do you wish to take?

Jamie has another fabulous prompt ...

What step do you wish to take?

In other chapters of my life, I have often felt unable to take any steps at all.

Of course I didn't get very far. *smile*

I didn't understand, either, that sometimes any step will do!

I used to worry/panic that the wrong step would be such a mistake,
doing nothing would be better/safer.

I am so over that phase.

Take a step ...any step towards a dream.

Let the Universe take care of the rest.

But that first step ..or a series of baby steps ...get me there!!

Sometimes these days, I even leap!



I wish to take more steps towards my wishes and desires.

A step or two or three towards the life of my dreams.

Thank you God.

Be brave, stay calm, watch for signs....

Did I mention how hot it is here?

I'm sweltering ....kind of hazy overcast too, I can't tell if it's bushfire smoke or cloud.

But I'm having a lovely Sunday afternoon anyway.

I had a gorgeous night out last night ....fabulous Thai dinner and a couple of bands playing later. Yes it was good, I smiled and talked to people. I was really there!

Today I've run around doing some housework until I was drenched in sweat ...ran out and did some Christmas shopping and bought myself new lingerie ...I don't know why I did that but it seemed important.

Had a call from my Church, most likely to see if I'm still alive ... *smile* ...I might pop back in and say hello. I'm a big believer in God knocking on my window ...going aaahheeemmmmmm?

Giraffe boy has been out socialising too, but he's home now so we are going out to buy some salad vegetables ...

Le Chef is working, poor thing, imagine how hot the kitchens are ?!?!?

Ms Spirit tripped yesterday and landed in hospital with a sprained foot, I'm so happy it isn't broken, with a baby to carry around. She's doing fine today. And Mr G is looking after her.

I'm grateful for the life I find unfolding each day.

Be brave, stay calm, watch for signs.



Thank you God.

Out into the light ...

Once upon a time due largely to a series of circumstances and of course my own not so brave personality ....

I morphed into someone who really wasn't fully there ...or even here ...

...that was then .... *smile* ...

it isn't now!



Now I'm so much more aware ...that I have choices, God-given choices and there are always opportunities to jump right into the stream of life.

I'm ok.

I'm better than ok, I'm protected and supported ...

I can, with the help of the Universe, conjur up ...a better life. The life I've always wanted but didn't even dare to dream.

Sarah Lulu is stepping into the light...



I'm going out tonight, with friends, dinner and dancing ...

I'm going out on a Saturday night...

Woooooooooooossssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Yes I am.

Thank you God.

Wishcasting Wednesday - What do you wish to embrace?

I love Wednesdays. I didn't actually realise it was Wednesday.

Kind of a nutty work day ....and really here, Wednesday is nearly over....

I like the word W e d n e s d a y ...I don't even know why and of course getting to wish!!

Nutty in a good way ...not bad, just rattled me a bit ...and it was hot hot hot.

Thank you Jamie for today's prompt -

What do you wish to embrace?



My passion for everything ....

My desires ..... ;

My willingness to be myself.

And ....

.....the next man to enter my heart and rock my world.



Thank you God.

Sarah Lulu's hot and bothered...

It was 38C where I worked today that's about 100F

...Friday it's going to be 42ish or about 107...

I'm hot ...and bothered.

I'm very grateful Giraffe Boy is cooking us homemade pizza for dinner and ....
we bought icecreams for dessert....



And ...I need some of this ...there I said it....



There is an empty space in my life and my heart....

Thank you God.
