I have a confession to make…I’ve written this blog post in advance…so I hope that by the time you are reading this I am actually in Sydney!!

As part of my upcoming trip to Paris (don’t worry…you’ll hear plenty more about this in due course…), I was required to visit Sydney this week for meetings.

So I figured this was a great chance to grab one of my best girlfriends (thanks for coming along T), and take a couple of days to unwind, people watch and drink champagne – don’t you agree??

While we are here I’ll be meeting the other participants for my course in Paris and finding out where I’ll be staying which is really exciting…but the only other thing I absolutely must do while we are here is visit the Lindt Café in Martin Place.

I’m sure you all remember the terrible happenings in December last year, and I won’t go into that now…but it was watching that episode unfold and the aftermath that inspired my Paris trip and I want to visit and pay my respects.

Yes, I’ll probably indulge in a hot chocolate and a Lindt ball or two (maybe six)…but I have a feeling I’ll also need to ensure I’ve got some tissues handy.

Can I ask one thing of you?  Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing right now, please take a moment to remember Katrina Dawson, Tori Johnson and everyone left behind with memories of the experience- and promise me…you’ll get out there and enjoy your life to the full!

That’s all for today xo
