Your notes really seeped into my heart and gut this month Holly; it's like your words give life and breath to some of the thoughts that puddle through my head, not quite fully formed until your notes give them a skeleton to begin to build life on. I have also just finished Gina Chick's incredible book "We Are The Stars" (a sublime read, of courage and listening to the truth of who we are and the connections that bind us all) and coupled with your notes, I feel it is becoming safe to slowly open my tightly closed heart again and offer the world MY words. Such a powerful thing; thankyou 💚
Stay safe, Holly. We are on the coast up in Redcliffe and I too am feeling quite anxious and uncertain, hopeful that this will not be as bad as predicted but ready. I've been reading and journalling to keep myself calm (between work jobs....) and keeping my pugs close. They are blissfully unaware (thankfully!). Sending hugs x
With you, Kass. The uncertainty is difficult to metabolise and bear. Keep those beautiful pugs and your books and words close. Superpowers, all. Sending love and safety wishes to you and yours.
Stay safe! Hopefully you are not too affected at Redcliffe. Although where it crosses is a big unknown at the moment. Are you getting much wind or rain? We haven't yet in Brisbane.
Thankyou. Its grey and cloudy, there’s some wind but nothing too unusual for here. We’ve had smatterings of rain. I honestly think the waiting might be the worst part. Hope you can stay safe and dry, too! X
Thanks for your notes Holly. I’m just down the road from you in Main Beach in an apartment and sitting both physically, mentally and emotionally in this surreal space where last night we were terrified that our lounge windows would shatter from the wind and now twiddling my thumbs wanting to go out for a run as it seems like a normal if somewhat dreary day. Your suggestion to rest is what really spoke to me and I will give myself permission to take naps where I can this weekend. 🤗 Hope everyone is staying safe. 💗
I hope you're staying safe! Enjoy the thrill of becoming a homeowner. It can fade a bit under the daily tasks, but don't let that happen too quickly. It's glorious and scary. Take photos of putting art on the walls and moving the couch around. Some day those photos will bring this joy back to you!
Holly, I live around Wynnum/ Manly and I also feel very overwhelmed about Alfred. I have had to switch off social media and focused on walking, listening to music and being creative.
It fear for my house, my safety zone, my escape from the world. I also fear for my mum who lives in Coffs Harbour with Alzheimers.
Mother Nature is so beautiful but also very unpredictable, very much like life itself you need to find ‘joy’ in the good, bad and ugly.
I'm here in Brisbane where we haven't had much rain or wind (yet). It's a surreal experience and also my first cyclone in the 33 years of living on Northside or Brisbane. Originally from Melbourne.

Yes the waiting is the worst
I hope you, your loved ones, your community and your new house stay safe! I loved this list and I love that you make them every start od the month🩷
Feeling all your feels as I sit waiting in limbo for TC Alfred to arrive. I hope you stay safe and your exciting new nest is unharmed.

Thinking of you and the many, stay safe! ❤️

PS just read the official statement you highlighted. Scary stuff. I’m in the UK 🇬🇧 I feel lucky to be here.
So much to absorb and use for myself in your post- thank you so much. I am inspired.
Also- let us know you’re ok when you can? Will be hoping that you and your home survive unscathed x

Stay safe to all who may face this oncoming beast of a storm....with much love from WA xx
Thinking of you, stay safe and may your lovely new home stand up very well to the impending storm. Marguerite 🙏💖💖
Stay safe! I love storms but understand your worries. I have my fingers crossed for everyone in Alfred’s path. Take care.
