25th March 2025 ~ Today is my birthday!
Welcome to the Bay Property Projects Blog
Today is my birthday & I feel so lucky to have loving people in my life, & space to create.
I always say that you choose the life you live. Not all of it of course because there is such a thing as external factors, but there is a lot of control you have over your own existence.
For example... unfortunately we have had a bit of a rollercoaster of an existence, but throughout it all I have made certain choices that have shaped the today I live.
It all comes from VALUES.
I was brought up by two dedicated parents who worked together as a powerful team. Very traditional. And we were lucky kids to have such amazing parents. Dad called us the A-Team (Alison-Tarken, Emily, Anita, Melissa) and took his job of supporting and providing for us seriously, showing dedication through the years. Now he gets to support his many grandchildren. And play golf. Mum was our leader, with loving guidance and neverending encouragement - she is still a powerhouse of love and support for her kids. And Grandkids. A real inspiration.
That is where my value of being Mum at home comes from. The Mother is the glue. The Father is the provider.
Circumstances have created a situation where I somehow need to navigate being both for my little tribe.
At 19 years old, my son has told me I have done well and is a good man - making Mother proud.
At 17 years old, my daughter has shown admiration for my dedication - even when times were hard.
At 9 years old, my daughter has given love through thoughtful flowers on my birthday - a nice surprise that lightens my heart.
My purpose is my three children. I think they know that.
The life I have created is based around them.
I have lived a very full life, doing so many different things and meeting so many amazing people. I like to flow with what life does, and one of the flows of my life sent me to home and garden design.
I feel like it's brought me home.
I have always been a creative person. I think we're a bit odd, creative people. Maybe a little misunderstood by logical people. And that's okay. We literally speak different languages. I do try to maintain balance in life though. As much as possible. So the logical side of my brain gets exercise also!
It's great to be able to imagine what I want to create, make plans for doing it, then take action and leverage my A-Team to build my creation into reality. I get a kick out of creation. God's creation, and my own. I find it fascinating that us as humans are so powerful that we can visualise something in our mind and magic it into existence.
We are all born with the ability to do it. And we all imagine different things. When we work together for common good for all, that is pure magic.
And with that, I will carry on with my day ... with more magic to make and solutions to create.
