Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Out of Hand

Things are getting out of hand.

A cafe owner (Bar Wunder) in Toowoomba, who refused to discriminate against the unvaccinated was arrested on the weekend when the police broke into his home at 1am (!!!) and took he and his wife into custody. 

Another cafe owner in Capalaba was forcibly arrested without explanation (there is video footage) for the same reason and has now been evicted from the premises.

A woman my age was arrested by SIX police officers at Dayman’s General Store in Hervey Bay last week for declining to show her vaccine passport. Dayman’s don’t discriminate so it’s possible that they too could be arrested anytime.

New Earth Cafe in Coolum was visited by the police seventeen times because the owners and some of their staff were not wearing masks. All of them had legitimate medical exemptions.

Eventually, in December, the police arrested the owner, putting her into the back of a paddy wagon with no air conditioning in the middle of Summer.

They took her to a cold holding cell and refused to give her a blanket, telling her that she would remain there until her court case which could take 28 days. Thankfully she was released that evening.

During the court case, she was not allowed inside the court because she wouldn’t wear a mask. Over the days of the case, they changed the charges three times and finally they dropped all charges.

The emotional, mental, physical, business and financial costs are immeasurable and nobody would put themselves through any of that without good reason.

New Earth Cafe are now suing for unlawful arrest. The police make these arrests knowing the financial cost involved to fight back … and then they drop the charges … there is no compensation for these wrongful, unlawful arrests.

There are a couple of other restaurants, one in Mission Beach and I don’t remember the others.

This is happening in Australia. These cafes and restaurants have never had a covid close or casual contact linked to any of their premises and they all have a large community following that are supporting them every step of the way.

We need more courageous business owners willing to take a stand.

Check this out … Nuremberg 2.0

I stole the following from an online group that I follow …

Perhaps they don’t realise that the people they are restricting access to society are those who are:

Creatives; willing to find ways to live outside of the box, those who get inspired by challenge to find their own solutions 

Rebels; who have been misfits many times in the past so they are immune to being excluded 

The Wild Ones with deep connection and reverence to the land, who know nature has everything they need 

Old Souls who have seen this all before and have been persecuted over lifetimes for doing things differently 

The Healers who are resourced with tools and modalities outside of the mainstream to restore balance and vitality 

Rainbow Warriors who know what’s sacred and aren’t afraid to stand strong in their convictions 

Inner Peace Seekers who were already adopting a slower way of living and detaching from commodities 

Optimists with an inner knowing of what really matters who can adapt their perspective to see the blessings that difficulties can bring 

The Stubborn Ones who will not bend to coercion no matter how tight you squeeze, who will find ways to adapt to obstacles before going against their truth

Intuitives who trust their inner voice before any external noise  

The Lions and Lionesses who will fiercely protect their young and will stop at nothing to hold the line as you awaken the fire within 

The Sovereign ones who won’t be threatened into backing down because they have already made their choice

Stay strong, hold the line ✨

I think I’ve had enough rest to face another week of “busy” and hopefully it will be busy enough to match last week or better.

Still SO MUCH to do and finalise!

AND I have to prepare for my farewell party on 29th January 😩

Gawd. So much to do, so little time.

I guess I should get some sleep so that my brain works properly tomorrow.

My girls …


Nite all.
