The stars are aligned…it’s Roller Derby time!!

When you plant an intention, guess what! It will probably happen! (Unless you confuse the issue by pulling it up at the root, and starting again).

This week, a weakly planted intention a few months ago, not only took root, but sprouted!!

I’m talking about – joining the Roller Derby League.

It began a few months ago, when I very ‘tounge in cheek’ pinned a roller derby image onto my pinterest page, with a comment that it was on my bucket list. The fact is, before that, it wasn’t, it was just a distant, ‘wouldn’t it be fun to…’ notion.

This week – everything – changed. It’s become a REALITY! Well, almost…

Here’s how the ‘stars lined up’ over the last 2 days:

Sunday: I’m out rollerskating randomly with the children, in a street I’ve NEVER been in, and this guy approaches me and asks “are you in the roller derby”. I’m like, well, “no, but I’d love to have a go”. He says, “there’s a freshie tryout in a couple of weeks, you should come along”. I’m thinking HELL YEAH! It turns out his wife is in the Sunshine Coast league, The Coastal Assassins, that they meet twice a week and they’re looking for, ahem, ‘fresh meat’.

The next day (yesterday), I run into Kirsty at Freddy Fuddpuckas (my favourite coffee local), who’s a member of the Assassins, got chatting, and can come along as her guest. Oh, and “would I like to come for a street skate”, I’m like HELL YEAH!

There was also an article in yesterdays paper – The INTERNATIONAL Rollercon Derby League is being held in Caloundra, in November, I’m like REALLY?, what a co-oincidence…..am I going? HELL YEAH?

Oh, then I see an add on TV, for ‘Whip It’ a movie about Roller Derby starring Drew Barrymore. It’s on tonight, on GO, 9pm. Am I watching it? HELL YEAH.

So there you have it. On July 29, there’s an info session, I’m going AND I’m going to sign up!!

Here’s what I can expect from ‘Fresh Meat Training”. Take a peek….doesn’t it look like fun!!

If you want to join me for the information session, let me know! I’m looking forward to this new adventure.

I’d love to hear about what’s on YOUR bucket list!! What’s makes you do a big HELL YEAH??
