In June I celebrated my first anniversary of living here in Australia. This has been a year of working at grounding my energies with the natural beauty of the land, animals, and water in my own Aussie backyard . I have worked at remaining connected with family and friends while creating new relationships with Australians and Expat Americans and Canadians. My dream was to spend more time with my husband, Denny, and I also had the luck of having our son Giles join us here as well. In December Giles helped me to create this blog site and continued to encourage me to write. I struggled with this until I found the right subject that inspired me.
While spending this week in Perth, I was fortunate to discover an art exhibition by young artists at St. George's Cathedral entitled "Connectivity". To begin with, it reminded me of why I loved working with adolescents so much- it is their zest and honest look at life. Which led me to look honestly at my "connectivity" at this time in my life. The dictionary definition is: the quality or condition of being connected or connective. Now on to the definition of "connect": to join, link, or fasten together; unite or bind; to establish successful communication between; to make contact; to have as an accompanying or associated feature; and to associate mentally or emotionally. This one I especially love: to relate to or be in harmony with another person.Over the next few months I shall be writing on "connectivity". I welcome any insights to your "connectivity" in your life. May you look into your eyes and connect with the light and love within, Lille
