GOAL !
The mere word conjures images in my head of soccer players pulling their shirts over their heads as they victoriously lap random sports stadiums , arms stretched horizontally as they bask in the glory of that perfectly directed placement .
Sixteen years ago , sprawled out on the floor of my Collins Avenue share unit , shortly after the September 11 attacks , I composed my very first Bucket List .
I ’ d just seen the concept on an Oprah episode , and for this twentysomething intrepid traveller , it seemed like a sensible thing to do .
It included some absolute pearlers ( win a Grand Final ) and others that have come frightening close to reality ( except instead of adopting two children , I conceived four .)
Generally , I ’ ve been very fortunate to scratch many of the items from that list . Then 2016 happened , and , without my permission , two line items were ripped from my list - seeing Prince and George Micheal live in concert . # DamnYou2016 .
I recently decided it was time to update my list , because - let ’ s face it - as a forty-something mother of four , basejumping in a
Scandinavian country is not currently high on my priorities to me . I ’ m not sure if it ever was .
The clicking over of another year is always a good time to reassess your direction . In this issue , we ’ ll be focussing on goals , and the important role they play in our lives . Our superb contributors will provide their take on achieving goals in their industry .
Joining us this issue , the very delish Peta Cooke from JUTE Theatre Company is carving up the front cover and Style pages ! How good is it !?! As always , we ’ ve rounded up the very best that FNQ has to offer , and delivered them to you for your reading enjoyment . We hope you love it !
Shanks for joining us in 2017 - I ’ ve got a feeling this year is going to be fantastic ! Don ’ t forget to follow us on Facey , Twitter and Insta to keep up to date until the next issue is launched .
Cheers , Jules
