‘m in a place I like to call Limbo Land. Not quite in my twenties, not yet in my thirties. Not quite a new mum, not yet ready to take off my training wheels. Not sure if I’m out of love with Sydney, unsure if I’ll ever be ready to leave the big smoke. I seem to be in transition in all aspects of my life. I’m in Limbo Land.
I mentioned to Hubby yesterday that I was missing my spark. I think I’ve misplaced it. It comes and goes, I see glimpses and then it flitters away.
I think a big part of my Limbo Land location is due to something pretty major happening in my life right now. It’s big, and affecting everything that’s going on in my life. And I am sick of talking like a cryptic crossword because those are impossible to figure out {and not my idea of fun either}. I can’t let you in on what this thing is until the first week of July. If I could tell you all now, I would. Promise.
So if you’ve noticed the magic missing here, know that it was a temporary thing. I noticed it too. Be assured… I’m bringing the magic back.
I know, from experience, that you can’t sit around waiting for the magic to return… nope. Sometimes it takes a little shuffling, a little sifting and eventually you find it. And that’s exactly what I plan on doing.
Happy weekend to you all. See you all on Monday {bring your Point + Shoot, it’ll be fun}. Magic optional.
I'm not sure if I should be excited for this big news or not?
Either way, I'm glad you're searching for the magic, and I totally get what you mean about Limbo Land. I often find myself there when I'm trying to work out what I want and what I need in my life.
Just remember that everything always works out for the best – tacky and cliche, but true. x
Ummmmmm. Intrigue!
Your honesty's pretty magic itself – even when it's cryptic, too…
What you said! 🙂 I agree with Gabrielle, your honesty is indeed very magical. And your willingness to share is always wondrous. I feel in limbo-land a fair bit myself. Think I need a new “project”. Happy weekend. xo
you took the words right out of my life – i'm also in limbo land right now, and it's not so fun.
You're always magical anyway, it's such a great highlight of a day coming and seeing your beautiful words and photos!
xx
Loving the mystery, but not the wait.
I love surprises, but I hate know that I'm waiting for one!!!
I'll send some virtual glitter to way to assist with your magic mojo, have a great weekend lovely lady
limbo land is a hard place to be… but things will turn around so soon and youll find a new rhythm and the magic will return. hugs, rowe x
I certainly haven't noticed any magic missing at all Chantelle.
Can totally relate on being in limbo though – had similar feelings when I was about to turn 30 too 🙂
Have a fabulous weekend!

Hi Telle,
The reason I read your blog every day is because it's so real, some days are magic, and some aren't – thats life and you have the most beautiful way of capturing even the less than magical days x
Just be kind to yourself.

If this is you without magic, then I'm really, really unmagical!!! Your news sounds intriguing and sort of coincides with your 30th… but I'm thinking it's something like a book opportunity or your own chat fest segment on Sunrise…?
You can't force the magic! It will be back when it's ready. Bigger & better 🙂
We've all been to Limbo Land. Don't fret – it's not a one-way destination. New stuff is good stuff – don't fret, just close your eyes and jump! And if it all goes wrong, come and live next door to the Fibro. It's magical down here. 🙂
i can relate to this post also! the ol' limbo land, in between reinventing your old self and twisting it with your new mummy self. good luck and can't wait for your news next month =) xx
Awwww. ♥ Thanks girls. xx
You are such a tease!!! It sounds interesting rather than ominous, so I'll be bold and say I'm looking forward to seeing what is in store for you. Love your blog, Chantelle, it is always a pleasure to read. xx
I know how you feel, sometimes things don't quite feel right do they?
Good on you for being pro-active about it. It's so easy to get stuck in a rut. I hope you get your sparkle back soon. I'm sure it's still there, just burning a little less brightly.
Very exciting about your news too. xx
I think its all about balance too Chantelle. You lead a pretty busy life, so I hope you are taking care of yourself right now.
Be kind to you xxx
I know how you feel. I struggled for a few month earlier this year. Illness and boring job really got me unsettled. I seem to have sorted it out now. Can't wait to hear your news 🙂
