ABOUT ME

Hi there! I’m Rachel (but most people call me Rach) and I’m an inspiration junkie. I get high on pretty pictures and world-changing wisdom. Live for the stuff.

I’ve been a sporadic writer all my life. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve picked up an old notepad to write a shopping list or jot down a quick note, only to discover an outpouring of my heart graffitied on its pages. That’s how I’ve done it before: write to get it out (purge), then shove it in a drawer and forget about it. This blog is my attempt at doing things a little differently. With a bit more discipline… and a dose of self-forgiveness. My words don’t need to set the world on fire, but they do need a place to live outside my head.

I read like a demon. Tear through pages, devour words, flip them over, make balloon animals out of them. Other people’s stories truly fascinate me. I’m a seeker, a PR and Digital Communications specialist for one of Australia’s top tourism bureaus, a former watch designer, a positivity pimp, exercise lover, organiser, lip gloss enthusiast, scented candle devotee. I’m thrilled to live by the beach. One of my favourite sayings is “Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”

What else can I tell you? The freedom-loving, world-exploring Sagittarian in me loves nothing more than a good travel adventure. The corners of my soul start to wilt if I don’t have a getaway planned, and if I had my way, six months of every year would be spent exploring.  I’m fond of photography that tells a story and my goal this year is to passionately devote myself to taking better photos. I’m blissfully in love with my fiancé – my better half in the truest sense – and can’t wait for our Autumn wedding in 2012.  I believe that what you think about, you bring about.

I also laugh… a lot.
I get silly.
I’m on an Exclamation Mark Overuse 12-Step Program (and I just wanna go freakin’ bananas right now!!!!!!)

So that’s me. I’m guessing you and I might have a few things in common, so welcome. It’s lovely to have you here!

ABOUT IN SPACES BETWEEN

 

I went to an acupuncturist recently and when I told him about my plans for this site, he told me the world needed my genius. What a concept. Whether or not he’d been smoking the moxa is still open for debate, but his message is a pertinent one. Inspirations and creations exist to be shared.

This site is a thoughtfully curated collection of musings, visuals and ideas – sweetened with a generous dollop of good cheer. Sometimes, I’ll get deep and wax lyrical on life and love and all that jazz, and other times, I’ll post pictures of gorgeous homes or beauty products I’m umm-ing and ahhing over. I’m diverse like that and I’m sure you are too.

What about the name? Ultimately, In Spaces Between is a reminder. To take pause in the spaces between doing “stuff” – between work, hammering it out on the treadmill, toggling between 10 screens on the computer whilst wolfing down a salad sandwich – to consciously do the things that make us smile from the inside out. Creative stuff. Heart-opening stuff.

For me, starting a blog means not really knowing exactly how it will evolve or what direction it will take, and rolling with it anyway.

So here I am! Just rollin.’
