Mel's Encouragement

Belinda on the left

Hi It's Belinda here.

I have been helping Mel setting up her blog and website. Mel has been so busy she has not had time to post so I will add one for her.

Over Christmas I went to the USA and Canada.

Mel has been my trainer for over a year now and I hold her personally responsible for my new addiction. Mel has been pushing me out of my comfort zone for a while now, so I tried a lot of new things on this trip. First was a stop at Disneyland with my two daughters, and I went on every roller coaster there was and I have to say I NEVER go on a roller coaster. So it was a big step to try them all even the "Californian Screamer" and yes I did scream.

On to Montana, I am not a skier and have only tried it twice with bad results so I have not been on skiers for over 10 years. So with Mels voice in my head I tried cross country skiing and love it we also went back country. So now bring on an Aussie winter with some snow for cross country.
