bne love

another local project of love- bne festival 
Sometimes you hear things; read things; see things that make your heart sing. Last night, as part of the SLQ Asia Pacific Design Lecture Series on 'The Architecture of Happiness', I saw Brissie local Yen Trinh speak about her work- and life- as an Urban Designer. It made my heart sing. So many things she talked about resonated with me and I guess her particular interest in communities + activating local communities, for communities, was particularly timely and appropriate given the ethos of buzz  that I am currently working on. She mentioned lots of other interesting -and exciting- projects happening around Brisbane and around the world at the moment which makes me feel so optimistic and full of love for the world I'm in, the like-minded souls who are in it too and being part of it all.
Hoorah for inspiration, and how lucky we are to have access to these things in our backyard- and free courtesy of public institutions like our libraries... thanks SLQ!

snowdome!

The last few weeks I have had so many ideas hanging around... or perhaps I should say 'buzzing' around... I have been trying to work them all out but they just haven't quite known how to fall into place- when I was trying to describe to a friend where I've been at I said- "I'm like a snow dome- all these ideas are shaken up and floating around but they don't know how to settle yet."
However.... they are starting to settle... things are starting to make sense... and I have to say, I'm quite excited! There will be more news soon but some hints: The ideas involve community. They involve you. They involve getting your sweat on. They involve being involved.
Cryptic much? Like I said... more news soon!
