January 2012 - December 2012

Well it has been exactly 1 year since I last posted on our Walsh Whereabouts blog, so this is officially an Annual Blog posting now.

A lot happens in a year and yet it feels like it has gone by in the blink of an eye!!

Some highlights:

(1) Action Coaching with Kathi Clarke - The course ran from October 2011 to October 2012 and I successfully completed this taking Cura Soles as my business example. I have acquired some fundamental skills and tools that can be used in any future business' I may decide to explore.

(2) January - A 3 day stay at the Kagga Kamma Game Reserve with my gorgeous husband. This was a belated birthday present to me from my husband - and a fantastic break at that!
















(3) February - Sometimes a girl just needs a break from everything:-) ... and a 5 day cruise on the MSC Melody with my girlfriends - Fiona, Linda, Ana Rita and Amie - was just what the Doctor ordered! What an awesome experience with many laughs and great memories that will last a life time!
















(4) I joined Toastmasters this year, have been involved in various roles at meetings and completed 2 speeches, which is quite a proud achievement for me:-)

(5) Art of Living - I completed the course and continued with my daily Kriya with the objective of getting to 100 days and then reviewing the journey. I'm currently on day 92!

(6) August - Weekend away with friends at Van Zyl's Rust, included the obligatory wine tasting at neighbouring farms in the area.

(7) Another Shark Cage Diving trip - but this time the seas were rough, and 80% of the passengers were feeding the sharks, us included!















(8) October - Graduated from Action Coaching.

(9) November - 11 Year Wedding Anniversary at ‘The Boathouse’ in Scarborough with Chef Bruce Robertson. Fantastic experience, awesome food and fabulous host! Well worth the visit!















(10) December - Weekend away with friends at OppieKoppie, including the obligatory wine tasting at neighbouring farms in the area. This time we discovered a new gem called Esona – definitely worth visiting!
















(11) Joined Meridian Hiking club and actively hiking now in prep for the Otter Trail at the end of Jan 13.

(12) Jordan has passed and going to Grade 10 next year. We will soon have a 16 year old in the house...

And apart from all the Monthly dinners, Toastmaster meetings, Business networking events, Markets & Expos that Cura Soles was represented at, Easter for the Elderly & Santa for Seniors projects - it looks like quite a 'short' year, but it did feel so very busy!

I'm glad we survived the Mayan ‘end of the world' as there is still so much to see, so much to do and so much abundance to share.

May you have a magical 2013!
