Hmmmm, yes, it's a very good question I asked myself this morning. Just what exactly are we up to on this adventure? Just what difference are we aiming to make? And is it all worth it anyway? I am asking this as the prawns are marinating and the dog is drying off from her morning bubble bath, and the Reisling is chilling out... Hmmm... just what difference do 5 chicas on a mountain really make?

Well it has been almost 2 wks since we all meet up in Sydney, and I am still motivated and excited. My Event is almost complete, and I should be getting the information out to the public within the week. I have to admit that it was a lot more hard work than I imagined ..... I am not used to asking companies for financial support, but so far the experience has been positive.
There is not much time to go until we leave Oz, and I haven't even started thinking about all of the warm clothes I need to take. As you can imagine, the Townsville climate doesn't call for much winter gear!!!

well it's been harder than i thought!! getting people attentive has not been too difficult - girls on top and the projects in the amazon are contagiously exciting! getting people to donate prizes to auction or raffle has been the challenge! XtraCycle have donated an awesome hitchless trailer for me to raffle though! My housemate has lent me her XtraCycle to ride around and tell people about GoT08. This bike sure is a head turner! I can't wait to raffle one of these babies at my event.

It has been really tough emotionally at times. I'm getting used to people saying 'no'. The more I let go of the outcome the more I am enjoying this process! I'm not really sure what lesson there is for me to learn right now, but ... Read More »

Tibetan bell, that is... One of the great unexpected gifts of my Girls on Top Journey was recently being offered the chance to spend all of this week in a Scholarship place with the Dalai Lama! Now there's proof that a girl just cannot predict what Mighty Forces might come to her aid when she's in the middle of a grand adventure! I've been with His Holiness for three big days of mind boggling insights to life, reality, jellyfish and happiness. Read More »

Yes, well, let's just say it was not the totally best ever week (despite the fabulous highlight of Thursday night) ... and I know I was not alone. The cosmic casserole was definitely coagulating under conditions unsuitable for feasting on life's marrow, or any other part. Even though torrential rain, storms and all would have suggested perfect conditions for staying in casseroling (good on you, Lena), in my short and statistically unsupportable survey of the good folks of the Blue Planet - it was a shit week, however you stired it. There. I've said it. In my own world, do i dare to catalogue the series of trivial yet somehow debilitating drips that drooped my petals? I know that various members of the Girls on Top team felt the same: wrung out, worn through, weak at all the vital joints, lily livered and just hopeless. I blame it on the new moon. That one skimpy rib of a loonatic lamp that skittered about the rain clouds this week and somehow messed with the mojo. At times like these a girl needs a pair Read More »
