12+kgs today. 6 and a bit kgs from hive A (2 frames) and 6kgs from hive B (2 frames) -
What I find fascinating is that the same hive, the frames are completely different. Look at the colour difference!!! Hive A - One frame has more citrus notes and the other has more apricot type notes to it. Hive B - appears to be a combination of both.

Now it’s coffee time.

THANK YOU.

To the doctors and nurses going above and beyond during Covid…. I see you. I appreciate the extra shifts, hours and care you show. Thank you.

To the police, out there ‘doing their job’ while being abused, I see you. I appreciate you. Thank you.

To the teachers having planned lessons then having to ‘re-plan’ to teach remotely, I see you. Thank you.

To the government officials who are doing their best with the information they have… thank you for showing up each day. Please know you are appreciated. Thank you.

To the small and big business owners trying to keep their businesses going…. I see you, I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it better! I know your employees appreciate everything you are doing to keep their jobs available. Thank you.

To the mums and dads homeschooling and juggling work … I see you - thank you for knowing your kids really need your emotional support right now too. Thank you.

To all of those who don’t usually ask for help but have …. THANK YOU…. I’m so proud of you.

What the world needs now…

… Is gratitude for what we do have and for the people in our lives that love us and support us.

Take a moment today and be kind. Through words or actions - it doesn’t have to cost a cent.

Much love

Celebrating being alive! 2 years ago - a pivotal moment in my life. The moment it broke into BC (before cancer) and AD (after diagnosis). I choose to ‘celebrate’ my cancversary as it was found before it killed me. So very grateful.

Excerpt from book in progress…

4 July 2019
Results day - which I now think of as my Cancer Anniversary, I visited my GP's practice (she was away on holidays). I felt sorry for the lovely GP I got, as she didn't know me from a bar of soap and had to give me the news that no doctor wants to share with any patient, let alone one they don't know. She asked what she could do to help me as I sat down and I said that I was just in for some results. She clicked on my name and froze. In that moment I knew the results. She didn’t need to speak. It was a split second and it changed my life. My life was now split into BC (Before Cancer) and AD (After Diagnosis).
The second smaller lump was 'nothing' YAY.
The first lump they found, which was on my chest wall (hence the long needle), was diagnosed as an aggressive and invasive carcinoma. Aggressive and Invasive… not two words I love to use at anytime but together was indescribable.
My husband Trev, and friend Katie knew I was going for these results. I wanted to go alone - independent me wanted to deal with the information before having to be there to support the others who I knew would also be devastated if it wasn’t great. I walked out of the building towards my car and saw aforementioned friend standing there with a box of chocolate. We didn’t talk - we didn’t need to.

Sometimes simple things mean the most. Spending time in the moment and not getting caught up in the ‘busy’ of life.

Everyday there is something to smile about - sometimes you just have to look a bit harder for it.

Today wasn’t one of those days. Time in my garden watching my bees - priceless - especially during a lockdown!

Much love

When I was diagnosed with cancer I decided to stop putting off things I wanted to do. I’d wanted a flow hive for a long time and I wanted to add bees to our garden not only for their honey but to improve pollination of our fruit and veg and flowering plants. Today I harvested our first honey. Another exciting breakthrough is that they have discovered that bee venom may hold the key to helping in the fight against breast cancer! Winning!

This had brought me joy today and I only wish I had done it sooner. Don’t wait for a cancer diagnosis to do the things you love or want to do....

Back to work after not working for 19 months .... cancer may have interrupted life but so grateful for the new opportunities - 2 part time teaching roles that I’m so excited about!

Still on medication. Still will have oncology appointments and blood tests but life is starting to get back to something that resembles ‘normal’.

Best wishes to all the teachers and students and parents out there.

Remember how you approach the year is up to you - Let’s make 2021 epic!

Much love

Discovering what grounds you, balances you, gives you that moment when you understand that all will be ok regardless is absolutely priceless. The knowing and accepting of ‘self’ is one of the best gifts we can guide our kids towards.

I’ve seen so many people ‘follow’ others because they want to liked and feel included - there is a difference between surrounding yourself with like minded people and mindlessly following others just to fit in.

For me it’s almost like a gravitational pull towards people that share my values and beliefs. These people become your tribe and can inspire you, uplift you and often provide reassurance when occasionally doubt crawls into your headspace. Oh and don’t think it’s a one way street - I guarantee that there are people out there that need to hear what you have to say also!

I will often listen to a podcast, read a book or even flick through an Instagram feed of someone else - it’s what prompts thoughts, ideas and can often reaffirm what you think or maybe even get you to question your initial thoughts.

Don’t waste time trying to be someone else. Find out who you are - I can tell you this.... you are priceless, unique and ever changing. We are constantly growing physically and mentally. You my friends are the ones that have the power to control who you become tomorrow.

I was doing this way before cancer found me. On the really ‘hard’ days.... I turn to ‘self’ and to my ‘tribe’ to remind me how to keep going.

I know I’m living my best life - my life, and I will strive to get the most out of it, everyday.

Much love

1 January 2021

Wishing all my support crew a fabulous 2021. We made it!

I didn’t think I’d see the new year in as I was yawning at 7pm but a good case of insomnia tonight has kept me awake.

No New Years resolutions here. Just going to continue to do the best I can each day and make the most out of every moment.

Love fiercely
Learn daily
Be creative
Stretch
Take time to breathe

Thank you again for your amazing support. Wishing you and your loved ones a spectacular 2021.

Much love

I’ve been hearing lots of people talk about putting 2020 behind them and that they can’t wait till 2021.

I concur...... BUT I would like to point out so everyone doesn’t sigh disappointingly on 1 Jan 2021 that when the clock magically ticks over at midnight the world doesn’t suddenly become ‘better’.

What we need is more kindness in the world.

What we need is more respect for everyone no matter their sexual preference, race or religion.

What we need is a cure for cancer - all types. Better treatment options and support for patients.

So why wait till January 1? What can you do today to make the world a better place? What opportunities lay before you OR what opportunities could you offer to others?

Be kind and make every day amazing. Don’t write 2020 off - it can still have amazing moments!

Always a good reminder - have a fabulous day!

This smile ..... well it’s simply saying..... “I’m laying on my front 3 1/2 weeks after my fourth surgery in 15 months and finally..... it doesn’t hurt” 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 just don’t ask me to move 😉

It’s October and breast cancer awareness month..... early detection is key. You don’t want to have to go through what I’ve been through.

Trust me.

Much love
