Golden hour on your way in, looking out at the mountains that surround us, the paddocks, the gumtrees, birds flying low, this little town is just heaven on earth isn’t it? Or am I being bias. Probably. 🌞

Saturdays at @fall_seven_ranch . đź–¤
I always leave here feeling way better than when I walk in. It’s like I collect the energy from everyone around me and it just lifts me up.
Y’all better get use to seeing this on your feed, I’ll be here for awhile.

This is @sofieroze_ she owns @highwaymyocum . Where you can drink coffee while surrounded by cow paddocks. It’s worth the drive out to see her because she’s cute and makes good coffee so you should probably go visit her 🫶🏼 xx
Weekend down south looking out to the ocean every morning, playing with the kids, searching for crabbies, lots of chocolate and sugar highs, good meals and lots and lots of cuddles. We are so lucky to have somewhere we can gather as a family, the half way point between Mullum and the Hills. ♥️ very grateful to have this place xx
Today I am 1 year Sober.
Some may look and say, “easy as” but for me, having a history of anxiety, constant self doubt, depressive episodes, panic attacks and a rather large love/problem with alcohol, this is huge when it comes to my mental health.
It’s taken me four separate attempts to get this far over the last 4 years. It’s been hella hard, mostly because I love the taste of an ice cold margarita, a fresh schooner from the tap then a jack and coke when I’m sick of beer. I miss being drunk. I freaking love it.
However, fun aside and all, I seriously should’ve listened to my therapist 8 years ago. She was right about it all. “Just give up the drink Rhianna you’ll feel so much better”, and I just brushed it off cause I wanted to get fucked up with my friends.
Speaking of, the support from my mates and loved ones has been amazing, thanks for backing me on this journey, it’s almost like you all knew I needed to take this route.
A lot of has changed this last year, I am feeling more confident in myself and who I am as a human and how/why I am the way I am, and have accepted the fact I am really weird, but I’m still a work in progress when it comes my confidence at work and in my hobbies.
I am finally walking towards my fears and problems not drinking to hide from them.
I never really say this and it makes me feel lame and shit but I am proud of myself for getting this far. I am becoming more creative by the day, I have found some kind of purpose, I feel incredibly happy. It’s been more than a decade since I’ve felt this kind of happy. I can finally see ahead. For so many years I’d fall in and out of depressive episodes where I couldn’t see myself lasting more than a few months. I never made plans for my future because I just couldn’t actually imagine myself with one.
now, I do.
And I’ll tell you, from where I’m standing it looks so fucking good.
Xx
I think we’re all just stoked to be here, thank you @brendon_riley_ for giving us the gift that keeps on giving! What an epic Saturday night! @fall_seven_ranch ! ♥️
