31 days: eight

A few weeks before I was due to leave Sydney, I had arranged to meet Suzy Reading at North Curl Curl, in one of my favourite spots. Suzy and I had been introduced by a mutual friend, the lovely Dan, creative genius at Shoebox. Suzy is a Sydney-based qualified psychologist, yoga teacher and health & fitness coach and was in need of some fresh shots of her in action. I adore yoga and alternative therapy and don't need to be asked twice to get snaptastic, so our skills and talents were a perfect match. 

We spent a few blissful hours in the glorious October sunshine as the waves crashed and Suzy and I talked and giggled our way through our photo session. I was amazed at the skillful poses Suzy could hold, while I snapped and got the perfect angle on some pretty rugged terrain, all the while Suzy smiling, looking serene and peaceful. This is one balanced (in both senses!), calm and happy lady! 

I was just so thankful to be able to work with Suzy on that day, in one of the most beautiful places on earth. A new friendship was made. Thank you Suzy, for a lasting memory that will always remind me to be grateful, soak up the simple things and take the opportunity to meet new people - you never know who you will meet or how they will change your life.
