Home

Home. Back to reality. My flight from LA to Melbourne was easy and uneventful. I was upgraded to Business class again for the flight home and I am glad as I got to sleep for about 6 hours. I was sitting next to a woman who was in Fashion and who had just done an uber 9 day trip of London, Tokyo, New York and LA. She was great to talk to and we chatted about all the things that I had done and now want to do and she offered me some great advice which I will take onboard and try to apply to my future.

The biggest news to come out of my time away is that it looks as though I may return to work full time and hubby will become a stay at home Dad!! This is both exciting and daunting, thinking that I will be the major breadwinner for the household. Although hubby can work from home as well, so at least it won't be solely on my shoulders. I have two major ideas at this time that I am looking into. Both involve possible travel which is something that I was hoping to incorporate into my career.

I am very optimistic though unsure of my abilities. If I were a more confident person I wouldn't have these worries. It is something I am going to work on. In LA I met lots of people in my everyday activities, like cab drivers for instance, some of whom offered changes to my perspective. One cab driver told me that my name was too plain. "No, no you cannot just be Penny. From now on you are Beautiful Penny." He was hilarious and wouldn't let me leave the cab til I had said what my name was maybe half a dozen times! Now while I still believe he was a bit over the top, the essence of what he said, to me, is that I need to believe in myself and believe that I am better than nothing. I'm certainly going to try.

So, wish me luck and let's hope that I can be "all that" and watch this space, as always, to see if I achieve my dreams.
