It is no secret that I am a huge believer in all things fairy like. I have also always been pretty open about my belief in the powers that be and everything happening for it's own (not always apparent) reason. It is a belief system that has served me well through out my thirty five years of existence so far.
Sometimes however it is not always as straight forward as what I might like it to be.
Sometimes all I feel is a jumbled mess with far too many possibilities for me to face.
Sometimes what I think is a message full of meaning turns out to be something a lot more simple and vice versa leaving me wondering what on earth I am meant to do. Which may very well be what I am faced with now.
Actually I am always wondering what I am supposed to do now, just this time I am drawing a complete blank and have no idea as to which way I should go.
The other day thanks to a bloggers Facebook group that I am a part of I heard that the Oz Blog Hosting Facebook page had a ticket to up for grabs to attend the ProBlogger event. Even though it is on the Gold Coast and even though I am not exactly financially flush with cash I entered anyway. As if I would win.
Naturally I won.
So thank you Universe for that one. But what about the plane tickets? And accommodation? Not that I want to appear greedy, just realistic.
There is a part of me that says to hell with the expense just book the tickets and run with it. After all the universe did send the event ticket your way...
Then the sensible part over rules and shouts down the stupidity of that idea. After all things like food and the mortgage really need to be given top priority don't they? Especially since when I decided to go the Digital Parents Conference back in March I knew it ruled out any prospect of making it to ProBlogger.
Only upon returning from said conference in March I am left with a whole range of emotions that leave me hankering to go to ProBlogger. Things that I thought I would get but didn't, the first time round, I am sure I will get next month. If of course I was there. Which I could be because I have a ticket, if only it weren't so far away.
Sigh.
Oh the toils and tribulations of being a blogger.

Anyone with some spare frequent flyer points they want to share?
Or a business looking for some blog exposure?
Joining in all the fun of blogging on a Tuesday with Jess for #IBOT
How awesome to win a ticket. I will be there and am grateful there is me close to home finally. You could save on room by bunking in with someone else. We have 3 in our room!!!! I think if the universe cared enough to send you the ticket things will work out in the end xxxx
ReplyDeleteI know it is super exciting. I am only too happy to bunk with others, even sleeping on the floor wont worry me if I can actually get here. The cheapest return ticket at the moment is in the $600 vicinity. The downside of livinging in tropical paradise
Delete$600!?!?!? Oh that is too much :( Actually just commenting to say, Deb if I don't meet you before hand I'll meet you there! Linda and I have split a ticket, as she can't go Saturday and I can't go Friday, so it worked out well. I hope someone sees this and wants to put you on a plane Rhi!! xo
DeleteI have started listening to the universe more lately which is how we ended up with a new cat!! I have no doubt things will work out how they are meant to for you.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great post there Ann! (or was there and I missed it, my bad sorry) I am pretty certain that things will work out as they are meant to as well
DeleteWoooohoooooo Rhi!!! I'm sure the Universe sent you that to catch up with me, lovely!! Please say you'll come!!!!!!!!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteI know right? If I can source a plane ticket I will most definitely come!
DeleteThat is soooo cool that you won a ticket!! I feel your dilemma too as it really isn't a cheap trip when you add up all the costs involved. I agonised over buying my ticket too and whether I should go or not and in the end I decided to just go for it. It's going to be a tight month for us because of it but I am determined to make the most of it. Hope to see you there xxx
ReplyDeleteThat is a great attitude Robyn and was exactly the way that I looked at DPCON in March. Only now that PB is here.... well I want that too!
DeleteOH I really hope you can find a way to go! I'm sure it will be a really useful and fun experience. Get onto wotif and see if you can get lucky!
ReplyDeleteI really hope someone comes to the party for you - I'd LOVE to meet you IRL and have a chat about the universe and fairies!! Em xx
ReplyDeleteI hope the Universe works its magic and send some plane tickets your way soon x
ReplyDeleteSo glad that it was you that won the ticket, I just hope that the fairies find a way for you to attend xxx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning the ticket! PLEASE, someone sponsor this blog so you can go! x
ReplyDeleteOH CONGRATS lovely one. Wish Wish I had the funding to offer to fly you there. I know exactly what you mean. I entered that too and just the thrill of maybe winning overrode any expenses to get there. May you be able to use the ticket and enjoy it as much as you can.
ReplyDeleteok so when the universe helps me out with a random lotto win the first thing I will do is buy your tickets and accommodation because I so want you to be able to go...you deserve it xx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the ticket! Virgin is sponsoring the event so have you checked out Problogger for the deals? I hope that you can find someone to help you with the accommodation!
ReplyDeleteYeah for the ticket! I really wish something is going to happen and you will be able to attend.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting. It must be the universe telling you something. I didn't enter the comp, even though I really wanted to, but I knew we couldn't afford it or the time away at the moment. I'm sure it will work out and be an amazing experience! Go for it.
ReplyDeleteWOO! HOO! i think it's awesome you won a ticket, and YES!!! I do believe the universe is telling you something!
ReplyDeleteTime to auction off anything worth anything so you can go!!
