So what’s happening in our world this week:
- Julian was sick all weekend, so the girls and I headed outside for some sidewalk chalk art. Their imaginations are incredible. Along with becoming princess fairies holding bunches of balloons, they also ``built’’ an entire city. It’s been a little reminder that simple gifts for Christmas often have the biggest impact on them.
- I was going to launch my 2015 PR News Calendar today. But something doesn’t quite feel right with everything happening at Martin Place in Sydney with the siege. So I’ve decided to delay – possibly 24 hours, maybe 48. My thoughts are too focused on the people inside that café and somehow my little calendar seems rather insignificant. Please stay safe.
- If you haven’t already, hug your children a little tighter than usual tonight and remind them how much you love them.
JUST A NOTE: The Aussie Giveaway Linkup will return on Monday, January 12. Have yourself a wonderful Christmas, enjoy your time with friends and family, and I look forward to your linkups in the New Year!
Now, for something a little brighter – the Aussie Giveaway Linkup…

Will head back and link up all giveaways. In light of today’s events in Sydney. I will look to extend all giveaway deadlines till the 19th.
And we end the day with Australians uniting through the #IllRideWithYou hashtag. It makes you proud to be an Aussie.
It is a tragic turn of events that have happened today. I won’t let the events stop me from doing what I love though. I kept watching the news today hoping for a positive outcome, but the constant news reports made me fearful. I’m going to bed now with a heavy heart for those that are still held hostage. How they wish they could go to bed and feel safe. Thanks once again for holding the link up Kellie. xx
