These three men came to our country to answer our call for help and lost their lives whilst giving of themselves. Prayers for these wonderful humans and I’m feeling for their loved ones back home. They gave their lives for Australia 🇬🇧🙏🏻 #australianbushfires #bushfires #thankyou #c130crash #sad #life #whenwillitend (at North Richmond, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rQPFogRYD/?igshid=losg5tjsnytd

Bilpin: An afternoon well spent with great friends. We witnessed the devastation of these bushires first hand and it defies description. How the RFS managed to save so many properties during this bushfire was astounding, the indiscriminate nature of this beast was phenomenal. What was delightful and so uplifting today was to see so many business up there thriving with visitors definitely returning in full force. #thebilpinfruitbowl was pumping and we were lucky enough to purchase one of the 500 apple pies baked today. We had coffee and pies @the_hive_berambing which were delicious, we had taste testing @hillbillycider and bought a case home, we bought apples, sourdough, bees wax candles, home made marmalade and jam and finished off with an afternoon bevi @archibald_hotel . Backing our fantastic community and spending local and having a great time doing it. 💖🙏🏻😎👌🏻☝️#buylocal #bilpin #hawkesbury #hawkesburylife #recovery #bushfiresaustralia #fire #australia #aussiespirit #ourvillage #ourcommunity #ourtribe #ourfamily #proud #proudtobeaustralian #sundays #sundaysdoneright #rain #raining (at Bilpin, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7fkos6AUWg/?igshid=98koppldb653

#BACKTOBILPIN SPREAD THE WORD - BILPIN IS OPEN! Bilpin, the Land of the Mountain Apple, suffered from raging bushfires up and down the Bells Line of Road over the peak Christmas period. Bilpin is a boutique tourism hot spot well known for its B&Bs, apple orchards, fruit picking, organic produce, ciders and open gardens. Just 90 minutes from Sydney, it is a great day trip or weekend away. Like many regions throughout Australia, the unforgiving Christmas fires hit right in the peak of the tourism season. Local small businesses now need our help. Hawkesbury City Councillor Sarah Richards along with Lionel Buckett from wollemi wilderness cabins, Michael Sperling from Bilpin Country Lodge, Bilpin and head of Blue Mountains Accommodation and Tourism Association, and residents Michael and Jane Hughes came together to workshop ideas to let tourists know it was safe to return. #BACKTOBILPIN was born! We are asking you to LIKE AND SHARE this page so we can get the word out to locals, Sydneysiders and tourists to come for a drive to Bilpin and visit our small businesses. #BACKTOBILPIN NEEDS YOUR HELP. Over the coming days and weeks, we will regularly feature local businesses and provide links to their pages. Together, we hope this small grassroots campaign can revitalise the Bilpin economy.

A few days to breathe thanks to @fiam_litzgerald and @ellyfitzy who have been looking after things at home. Given us some precious time with our big girl @asheefitz and @chrisharmel, time to visit family, dear friends, our twin neices, and reset, nothing like the beach to get back onto your feet. Met an amazing aboriginal healer who moved me immeasurably, we bought a digeridoo he made and immersed in his healing energy. We walked, talked and reconnected with each other every day and just found a bit of our mojo again. I have prayed and meditated non stop for rain, the end of the bushfires and the tragedy around them however we’ve also smiled and celebrated the phenomenal Australian spirit, courage and resilience despite all thats transpired. Our country truly rocks #australia #bushfiresaustralia #resilience #mateship #together #beach #sunshinecoast #lennox #roadtrip #reset #perspective #family #heart #healing #terrysaleh #indigenous #aboriginal #respect #love #loveaustralia (at Sunshine Coast, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7HrXR1AnmL/?igshid=1t8hn4fkdq5pl

Not even a city covered in smoke and a faulty coffee machine could stop us today....only solutions here at Be & Co. Our community came together to enjoy this glorious spring weather and each other’s company. So many people benefit from this fortnightly gathering from food parcels, connections to services, life changing conversations with our therapists, awesome homemade morning tea, fabulous coffee’s and a place to just ‘Be’ and ‘Connect’. A place without judgement and with lots of love and respect no matter your walk in life. Our resident therapy dog in training Emerald 💚 the chocolate lab was in and she gave lots of love to anyone who asked. We helped quite a few community members today that will change their lives and that’s what its all about. We send out our healing energy to one of our participants who is recovering in hospital from major surgery...big love Mark 🙏🏻 Harmony.fm @salvationarmywindsor Uniting Michelle Fitzgerald - Counsellor & Psychotherapist Alison Hayek @michellehookhamhomeopath 💜🙏🏻💜 #beandco #community #village #tribe #mypeople #windsor #hawkesbury #hawkesburylife #ourtown #givingback #coffee #tea #together #salavationarmywindsor @michellehookham @michelle_fitzgerald_counsellor @emerald_the_chocolate_labrador (at Be & Co.

Amazing day here Be & Co Hawkesbury. The weather turned on a perfect morning for our community to get together and a new member of our village came along too. Emerald the Chocolate Labrador 🐶 was too much adorable for us and took a quick nap 💤 on the bench soaking up the sun and all the love bestowed upon her. Harmony fm played some cracker music 🎶 which had us bopping about with our brews and smiling from ear to ear. Thesalvationarmychurch was there helping out with food hampers and our Transition To Work youth led by Harrison and Alex kept the caffeine coming. Pumpkin Slice and Egg Sandwiches were a HUGE hit. Alison Hayek Michelle Hookham, Mental Health and Homeopathy Michelle Fitzgerald - Counsellor & Psychotherapist were all there too. Fabulous morning, extraordinary community......beautiful village 💜🙏🏻💜 #beandcohawkesbury #community #salvationarmy #harmonyfm #hawkesbury #hawkesburylife # #village #tribe #helpingothers #isolation #connection #spring #peppercorntree #coffee @alisonhayek @michellehookham @michelle_fitzgerald_counsellor @emerald_the_chocolate_labrador (at Windsor, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3I_-YBA50R/?igshid=qnxb1q8mo03v

@emerald_the_chocolate_labrador turned up for work today and introduced herself to all her new colleagues. She was 10/10 in cuteness and adorability and we just had a huge problem with ‘sleeping on the job’ 💤💤💤. She’s a superstar already 💜🐶💜 #emeraldthechocolatelab #labrador #chocolatelab @k9pro_aus @steve_k9pro #therapy #therapydog #puppy #puppylove #puppiesofinstagram #mustlovedogs (at Windsor, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Bsm2zgFva/?igshid=1ekrfz3ksadn2

We are our harshest critics, those conversations we have in our heads can be self loathing, destructive, cruel and hateful and we shouldn’t be treating ourselves that way. Would you treat your best friend the way you often treat yourself??? I dare say the answer is a definitive ‘no’. Catch yourself when you shift to self deprecating behaviour, when your internal rhetoric moves toward the negative and darkness. Take a few deep heart breaths and close your eyes, think of something that regenerates you and move back toward self love and kindness.

Today we moved our event into the Salvation Army premises next to the park due to the wonderful rain we’ve had. It was also farewell to Kaylene and Paul who leave tomorrow for a new army posting in Roma, Queensland hopefully to work with recovery and addiction. We wish them the very best of life and love 💕. Meanwhile we moved the coffee machine into the hall along with the ‘Two Handsome Alans’ providing the music from our local radio Harmony fm loved the music 🎶 today. Our elderly clan arrived with an entrance and devoured the fresh homemade scones with jam and cream and Michelle Hookham,s home made cake. Lots of new faces, Lots of connection, Lots of smiles 😀.
