There is nothing more wonderful, than what it feels like to be in the presence of such beauty, wisdom and grace.

Jodie Pamela Stewart

My name is Jodie Pamela Stewart. Jodie after Jodie Foster, Pamela after my mum and Stewart because she married my dad, so we take the last name, yeah? Well, I'm 23 years old, born and bred on the Gold Coast in Australia. I have two older brothers, two half brothers, and a half sister. I've only just rcently met my half sister after a lot of conversing through facebook we met in person at the end of 2011. Before that i had only really met my oldest half brother for the first time too after many years of wanting to get to know them and wondering what they would be like. I am a family orientated person, i like to spend time with my family, however, just like anyone i need my own space to be in my head to decipher through and work the magic out of those thoughts that run a million miles an hour.

My goal in life is to live everything i do with passion and excitement. I aim to be generous and warmhearted, creative and enthusiastic, broad-minded and expansive, faithful and loving. At times i'm moody, intolerable, independent, ambitious, open, erratic and so on, but i believe in myself and i believe that anything is possible.

Life is an eternal quest about knowing oneself. Don't be afraid to explore, dream and discover for what lies beyond our front doors is a world of adventure, discovery and meaning. If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place. After dealing with health issue after health issue i feel, i'm finally starting to get on track thanks to my brilliant naturopath, who has shown me just how healthy i can be, and taught me to be positive yet patient through the process.


I love to dance, sing loudly, feel the sand beneath my toes on our beautiful beaches. I love the feeling of the warm sun and the look in my dogs eyes as i open the door of a morning to her. Yoga, sunflowers, heels, coffee, icecream (baskins of course), mangoes, turtles, elephants, the beach, dreamcatchers, painting, poetry, philosophy, ancient greek plays, tattoos, musicals, cabaret, sex, friendships (new and old), art, water, perfume, Bukowski, love (well, i've got a feeling for you), writing (of course) black, purple, my pink ballet shoes, the rainforest, sky, universe and all i find these wonders out of it all.

I've embarked on a journey writing to share a story, my story that i've wanted to share for a few years now and believe now is a better time than any to do it. Im unemployed and live with my mum and older brother in a house i actually like for once that feels like home. Already it's been another big decision in my life as it takes over other things i usually would be doing. I find myself awake at 2am typing away putting finger to key numerous times letting it all splurge out. For now i'm not worried about editing, the grammar and spelling mistakes i just want to get it out onto paper. My book makes me chuckle, it's made me cry and brought feelings of frustration, anger and fear to the surface. I believe this is what it's about, and to all my family and friends on this journey with me "i carry your heart with me, i carry it in my heart." - E.E Cummings.
