this winter was all about expansion: learning + launching.

Winter is usually the time to hibernate + rest in preparation for the newness that Spring brings.  But after rolling in the deep for a little over 12 months after some major life transitions, Winter was the season I learnt + launched. Celebrations ::  In July I announced the birth my new site: deliriously deep designed + created by yours truly.  I also launched a new timeslot for my yoga classes in Coolum.  And in August, I celebrated some…
