Kokoda Family Adventure

I'm sorry I haven't been blogging lately but I have been busy Making Each Day Count.

In the last two or three weeks I've been on more walks than I can remember, we went camping at the Nymboida River and I've started to write a book. 

This is the book I'm writing however it will not be finished until after our trip to New Guinea and our hiking holiday along the Kokoda Trail in September 2011.

I've been jotting points down now about our training and the challenges we have been facing as a family.  My biggest hurdle is the cold.  I usually walk at 5am and it is about 7 degrees at the moment and I hate the cold.  So my biggest challenge is to actually get out of bed. The way I overcome my negative thoughts is to wear many layers of cloths and tell myself I'm just going for a short walk.  Once you are out there it is easier to get into it.  I then put on the earphones and listen to a teleconference or something I'm passionate about to take my mind off things.

In relation to the book I'm currently writing, I'm hoping it to be an inspiration to teenagers and working parents to get out there and do something you love to "Make Each Day Count".  I'm seeking feedback on what you would like to read about in the book?  What challenges do you face that I've been through and could help you with?  I have been asked a lot in my workplace about how to raise teenagers, should that be the focus of this book?  I'd really appreciate your feedback if you could either comment here or email me at linda.baade@ymail.com
