Hi friends — and new friends! Quick introduction: I’m Catherine Greer, writer and compulsive baker, lover of little dogs, living in Sydney, Australia with my family.
I saw these young beauties on my way to the Tina Turner musical in Sydney last weekend, and asked if I could take a non-identifying photo. They grinned and said sure…while digging into the best burgers after a party they’d been to in the city.
Do you remember the younger you?
The teenage girl with all those dreams and energy and friends, and her whole life spread out in front of her?
I don’t think we become someone different as we grow older. I think we add on layers as we age — life lessons, wisdom, disappointment, joy. Wins and losses. And through it all, we have to remember to honour ourselves, and all we’ve been through to get here.
If no one has said it to you lately, I’d like to be the one.
You’re doing a good job.
You’re probably doing better than you think you are.
And I hope something lovely happens to you today.
Love, Catherine x
PS. The fun stuff!
Lori Hetteen’s work is whimsical and lovely.
Okay, Aussies…these black bootleg mid-rise jeans are a must. Also come in denim and white. If you are a little uncomfy in your summer jeans (Hi, ME! 🤣) just size up for winter and grab a pair for $25. Soooo comfortable and the fit is amazing. Worth it.
A salad with cherries, rocket (arugula in Canada and America) and goat’s cheese? Yes, please!
Take a look at the Tina Turner musical. What a woman and what a life!
