Family with magic in their feet
I’ll tell you how I’m blessed. It’s because I know Gareth, Paul, Josh and Luke, John and John, Brendon and Celeste, there’s Fiona, Christie, Amy and Pam, Fraser and Adam and so many more. I want to mention every name, you see I’m blessed, and you are too even though you may not know it, because there is a family that gives the blessing of laughter, of unbridled joy, and it’s available to all, and to turn it on, takes but a smile. With glitter in their hair and stars on their faces, when they walked out to the huge crowd at the Entertainment Centre, it was as if the Crocs had won a final all those years ago. Cheers, tears and clapping, when Happy Feat arrive, everyone knows. This is the gift of love and dedication from incredible mums and dads and a lady who I believe deserves to be royalty, yet no humbler soul could you find. I’ve never met anyone quite like Leigh Caldwell. Along with her team of dedicated volunteers, like lovely Rhi the instructor, they’ve created a masterpiece in happiness within the human spirit. I know I’ve raved about Happy Feat before, but I’m sure all who were there at the Guy Sebastian concert know what I mean. And Guy was exceptional too! So many stories. Happy Feat dance every Wednesday here in our great city, and there’s a wonderful family who drive up from Ayr with their remarkable young man, to dance, to laugh, to find confidence and enjoy life. I hope I’m not speaking out of turn, but this really is special and if there’s a Happy Feat concert then come along and enjoy the magic. So that’s it, I had to tell you again, might again one day too. The world’s a better place with Happy Feat, and people like Leigh and her family.

I’ve just sat down on the Hawaiian Airlines flight after nearly missing it, the sign on the board went from ‘ boarding soon’ to last call! Fair dinkum. And the real joy, is my shirt is better than theirs, they having boring shirts, worse than my boss! Lowes would make a fortune here – actually I might have enough in my wardrobe to dress the lot of ’ em.
They’ve just told me to put everything away. I hope this gets to you, I have to turn off my computer so you might not get ...
