Two Inspiring Women

Look at Doctor Fiona Wood. Just look at her.

Saving lives. Changing the world.

But now for the big stuff – she’s got six kids.

Wow.

I have worked out that her secret to operating wonders (no pun intended) on very little sleep is either: a) she is an android b) she is an android or c) she keeps herself in prime physical form.

I remember reading once that she has simply resigned herself to the fact that to do everything she wants to do she has to sacrifice sleep – she goes to bed in the wee hours of the morning and is up at 5 for an hour-long bike ride.

Holy insert-comedic-noun.

But…I have to say that I’ve been completely inspired lately to do likewise. To look after my body better, to get into my peak form body-wise so that I am actually physically empowered to do all the crazy stuff with my life that I want to. I mean, performing regularly onstage alone requires a LOT of energy, and let’s not even get started on wiping up poo.

So…I’ve bitten the bullet and have taken up exercising every single day. It’s mad – so not something I thought I’d be into, but the thing is, it’s actually turning out to be kinda cool. Plus, it’s something I can do with the kids. And they’re getting into it too.

I know, I know, sheer unadulterated madness.

Admittedly, we’re only two days in, but so far, so good. Give me an ‘E’!

(For ‘exercise’, you naughty naughty people.)

In other semi-related news, I’ve been having singing lessons with this amazing woman Ofelia Guizzon. The lessons, (which Tim very thoughtfully bought for my b’day – bless. Sure as heck beats Hungry Jacks for breakfast) have been amazing – actually discovering ways to use my body to get my voice to do things I never would have thought it capable of.

I feel like I’ve got me a whole new bag’o’tricks to take overseas. Let’s just hope China Airlines don’t charge for excess baggage.

I acknowledge the Gubbi Gubbi, Wakka Wakka and Butchulla peoples, the First Nation Traditional Owners of Country, and custodians of the land and waters on which I live and work, and all the peoples who have welcomed me on Country. I pay respects to all Elders past and present and acknowledge the young leaders who are working beside Elders in our cultural industries in the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices. I recognise all First Nation peoples as the original storytellers of these lands and acknowledge the important role they continue to play in our community.
