I have mentioned before what I would do if I had a million dollars, which was to donate and set up a range of education and business opportunities to empower and support women around the world and that still has not changed at all, so as I write this and stuff the 2nd Panamax down with a huge glass of iced water to quell the ache in my head from the dead and dying brain cells, I look back on the events of last night, remembering the drinking, dancing, singing and the hilarious conversations as I celebrated my 50th birthday with a small group of incredible legends.
And this is my favourite thing to do at this time of year!
But all other years over the last decade have been very quiet- NO celebrations for my birthday and this year I felt the same- that I did not want to have a party- even though I love parties!
And then I was having a chat with my legendary best friend Sabrina who reminded me of everything that I have been through over the past decade and told me that I needed to do something to make this memorable birthday number, actually memorable.
And now that we're finally out of lockdown, but with thousands of new covid cases daily, I decided I would have a party at home- even though I really wanted to be outside in the open and the fresh air. But as the temperature was so cold and due to rain, the plans changed- again...
So, although it was small, it was memorable and it was the night that I needed to have.
And I just LOVE LOVE LOVE my new cape! Thank you for such a wonderful and unexpected pressie Sabrina!
I also wish that many of you guys could be there with me too- cause you are all legends that I love and am honoured to have in my life- even if it is my on line life, you are still all always there for me and I am truly so grateful for being able to meet you all and get to know you on here too!
I can鈥檛 wait for the day that I will have enough money saved up to travel again so I can have a belated birthday dance with you too!

I spent all of my late teenage years in the 80鈥檚 up until my 38th year working in hospitality and of course, doing the obligatory and freakin fun rounds of parties as I traveled around Australia, the US and the UK.
That all came to a sudden halt when I had my first heart attack in 2010 and in the following 10years had 3 more, so sometime- in fact many times - many, MANY nights I have felt like I won鈥檛 wake up in the morning because of the unpredictability of my heart condition.
And after spending the past 3 months in lockdown (and most of the last 2yrs) and suffering from heart and sleep related medical issues, I haven鈥檛 been feeling too happy about life in general, so I am very FREAKING HAPPY to have actually reached my 50th birthday because there have been so many moments in my life that I thought I wouldn鈥檛.
So I鈥檓 still alive and as tough as life can sometimes be, what didn鈥檛 kill me- will only make me stronger, so I鈥檓 here for another 50!
Well at least I鈥檓 going to try my hardest anyway!
