		<description>@ Mark: what a nice surprise to have you stop over. Hey, I didn&#039;t know you were in Oz before. Seems like you&#039;ve been to all my favourite places too. 

Glad you liked the article. Mornings are definitely best as it is easy to get work done. 

Thanks for stopping by. :-)</description>

		<description>Hi Monika! Just checking in to see how you are doing and what a great post to drop in on. :)

Mornings are my favorite time of day, for sure!

@Cath - We are waiting earnestly to hear where you will be heading...I have spent time in Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, and Noosa and all would make a fantastic home base.</description>

		<description>@ Cath: wow, those are great news! You&#039;ll be over here before you know it. 

Perth is a lovely city. Clean, great weather, great beaches and never far from Margaret River (where they make some amazing drops of grape nectar).

As you already realize, Australia is an amazing country with so many great places. The best thing you can do is settle for one and then make it your base to score the rest of the country.

I&#039;m sure coming from England you&#039;ll love it, regardless of where you end up, simply for the climate and change of pace. :-)</description>

		<description>@ Barbara: yeah, it&#039;s a twisted world alright. Maybe I should charter a plane (I wish) and fly into eternal summer by traveling to wherever it is.

Working with my husband made us realize how lucky we really are. Being able to share the day with my soul mate is priceless, therefore it is harder to see him off to work than it might be for others who simply have a working relationship.

Treasure it for all it&#039;s worth. It seems you have created a great way to get the best out of both worlds anyway. :-)

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Reading your compliment made me smile even more.</description>

		<description>@ Ebele: thanks sista. As you see, we all struggle with our inner demons somewhere. I guess it makes us more human in the process. :-)</description>

		<description>@ Brett: you know, that is the secret of having fun in what we do. Meeting like minded people who commonly strive for the same goals and spur each other on in our quest for world domination is what it&#039;s all about.

Making friends is just another amazing bonus. You guys are my family away from home and like you inspire me and vice versa I get inspired from every single reader who cares to take time to comment and email me. :-)

Helping to inspire others has always been my goal with this site and every time I hear feedback I feel like a million dollars.

Helping to make a difference to other people&#039;s life&#039;s is a gift worth more than millions of dollars and we all do our little bit in the process. 

You and Cathryn will end up working together. It is written in the stars. With your awesome plans you&#039;ll have the perfect foundation anyway. :-)</description>

		<description>They look really cute Monika.  Two months of cold is far better than what we get here.  We are still debating on where we want to be.  I&#039;m leaning towards Perth but the trouble is - I like the look of everywhere I read about.  

My ex has finally agreed to sign the form to let the kids go, so I hope he&#039;ll stick to his word.  Then I can apply for the visa.</description>

		<description>Hi Monika,

What a beautiful story.  The writer in you shines through.  

I work with my husband, but he&#039;s usually on job sites for the greater part of the day.  Me, I work in the office and blog between phone calls and other projects.  We make a great team.  

It&#039;s odd for me to read that winter is coming your way, as we are now seeing signs of warmer weather.</description>
