Healthscope Xmas Function

Ruanna and Jason Chatfield

Every now and then the weather is perfect and the function room is perfect too. This was the case for the company Healthscope and their end of year Christmas corporate function at The Provider Cafe along Marina Bay in St Kilda.

It was also lovely to work along side Jason Chatfield who is a wonderful cartoon caricature artist, that I surprisingly bumped into again.

During the speeches, we were able to take a moment and take this stunning photo shot of the sun setting behind the Marina.

Sexpo in Melbourne

Regina and Ruanna

Talked into working at Sexpo in Melbourne again this year.

It was lovely to catch up with Regina the organiser of the Psychic Readers room and other friends that I have made over the years.

The readings were tough, against all the noise in the background. The 4 day event runs from 11am - midnight and 11am - 9pm on the Sunday night, in late November every year, very full-on days!

There are some really great stalls and important information to be had at these Sexpo events, from HIV and AIDS information through to pole-dancing classes which are very popular these days also information on the newly impressive  political Sex Party which I have recently become a member of.

1st Adelaide Mind Body Spirit Festival

Judi, Lauren and Ruanna

Up early to start the day in Adelaide at the 1st Mind Body Spirit Festival over there.

There were familiar faces in the huge Reading Room and there was good energy bouncing off the walls filled with excitement around it being the 1st MBS in Adelaide, we didn't know what to expect.

All the Readers were booked out by 4:30pm every afternoon, this was a very good indication indeed that the festival was a huge success.

The group photos are getting bigger, by next year we should have everyone on stage.

Vietnam and Moone Bears in Laos

Visit the Moon Bears in Laos

In September 2012, I visited Vietnam and Laos.

To visit Vietnam and see for myself the history behind this beautiful country was absolutely stunning.

Then to visit Laos and see the Moon Bears Sancutary in Luang Prabang, that the 'LunaBears Lads and Ladys' sponsor was a dream come true.

The LunaBears Lads and Ladys started in 2008, around the time that the Free The Bears organisation opened the Laos Sancutary. There was 10 of us when we first came together and we sponsored a Moon Bear cub called 'Dinh'. Then we sponsored fellow cubs 'Lom' and 'Fa'.

Swimming in waterfalls wherever possible

Today there are over 30 LunaBears Lads and Ladys and we are proud to support the Free the Bears organisation and sponsor the whole of the Tat Kuang Xi Sancutary in Luang Prabang, Laos.

We welcome you to join us too, please email me on: ruanna@tarotinaction.com.au
