January 2014 - December 2014
Well another year and time for another post in our Annual Walsh Whereabouts blog...
I have heard many times that people are glad to see the back of 2014 but I believe we need to live and appreciate each moment of every day. One cannot live in hope that the next year is going to be better - after all the year you just had may have been your best one yet and you just haven't realised it!
Some highlights:
(1) January - It was time for our annual ladies cruise but this time our group was bigger than ever - close on 20 ladies in total boarded the MSC Sinfonia from Cape Town to Durban and then Durban to nowhere from 27 Jan - 02 Feb 2014. We had a fabulous time and have memories to last a lifetime!
(2) Camping Weekend Away with friends that Linda organised for us at Palmiet, Kleinmond on the weekend of 20 - 23 March 2014
(3) Orange River Canoe Trip - Jordan attended a school outing for the Grade 11's on the Orange River from 01 - 05 April 2014.
(4) Two Oceans Half Marathon - I completed my 3rd Two Oceans Half Marathon on 19 April 2014 - in a time of 02:41:36. Slower than I had hoped but at least I finished within the cut off time.
(5) Happy 17th Birthday to Jordan on 11 May 2014.
(6) Toastmasters - I served as as Vice President Education at Winelands Toastmaster Club for the year ending June 2014 and then handed over to Cal Butler. I completed a few more speeches up to the 8th speech of the Competent Communicator series. I completed the Competent Leader series which was a great achievement for the year!
(7) July - Moonlight Mass Cycle in Town - Garth, Monique, Mike & I cycled on Saturday 12 July 2014. I had this on my bucket list and glad to say it is now ticked off. What a fun evening!
(8) July - Peter Sage: Millionaire's Business School - Mike and I attended this training in Johannesburg from 25 - 27 July 2014. Many lessons were learnt - both personal and business, which we took away to be applied going forward. "Knowing and not doing is the same as not knowing!"
(9) July - Jordan was elected and inducted as Prefect for Grade 12 next year. We are very proud of him!
(10) August - We confirmed that we were Pregnant on 8 August 2014. Due date for baby is 17 April 2015.
(11) August - Weekend Away with the KKC girls in Struisbaai on 15 - 17 August 2014, organised by Carol. We had an awesome time with some gorgeous friends.
(12) September - I attended a RAW Food Workshop on 25 September 2014 by Rolene Sher and ever since we have been juicing and drinking Green Juice daily.
(13) October - Another of my bucket list items was to visit the Old Mac Daddy's Trailer Park in Elgin so we went for an early Anniversary stay there from 13 - 15 October 2014. We stayed in the Birdy Trailer. The place is well worth it and Elgin has some gems for wine tasting too. Our 13th Wedding Anniversary was on 3 November but Mike was away in the UK for Sovereign flight training from 24 Oct - 20 Nov thus the early celebration in October.
(14) December - I attended Rock Your Life Mastery Workshop with Mike Handcock which was held in Elgin at Triactive lodge. Many lessons learnt in this workshop from Mike, Dave and Landi as well as the Delegates too!
(15) Our Circle of Friends group completed 2 main projects this year again - Easter for the Elderly and Santa for Seniors. Here is our Facebook page for more details: https://www.facebook.com/CircleOfFriendsProjects?ref=hl

Well when one puts down in black and white what has happened for the year then it hits home that it's quite a list of achievements - and I am grateful for a fabulous 2014 with all the opportunities and happy memories it brought for us. Our main highlight of course is that we're pregnant and looking forward to welcoming our miracle baby to our family soon!
My Mantra for 2015 is to Live SIMPLY, Laugh OFTEN and Love UNCONDITIONALLY.
May you LIVE, LAUGH and LOVE often in 2015!
