Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them

Live your dream and share your passion

When you eat, appreciate every last bite

Some opportunities only come only once-seize them

Laugh everyday

Believe in magic

Love with all your heart

Be true to who you are

Smile often and be grateful

…and finally make every moment count

A Poem For Bernie - Love Ya ShellBell

There once was a girl, her name is Ber-nie,
Who’s about to embark on a lifetime journey
Across our seven continents she will explore,
And the number of countries she’ll visit will be 54!

With six months of planning, the time has now come,
For you to be a “flashpacker” and officially a BUM
With the house almost sold and everything in place,
Your journey will be better than the Amazing Race!

So flashpacking around the world Bernie will go,
Adding friends to Facebook and loads of pictures to show
Tagging and loading and blogging her way,
Watch out for the “Bernstar” jump each and everyday

Can’t believe she’s leaving Discover Travel and Cruise
For Contiki tours, drinking lots of booze.
It’s been a great ten years with Cheify and the crew,
Conferences, famils and lots of laughs too…

You’ll party hard with both Gen X and Gen Y,
Just be sure to bring home a wealthy foreign guy!
You’ll teach those Contiki kids a thing or two
Just remember to tell them you were born in 1982.

Our memories of Bernie, we all have lots,
Fancy hats, crazy glasses and loads of camera shots.
Days at the races and nights at the Caxton Hotel,
The next day, we had so many stories to tell.

So, who’ll take our photos when we now go out,
And buy us jam donuts, when it’s their shout.
Who’ll ask the DJ for our favourite song,
Please Bern, don’t stay away for too long.

Zoe and Tess will miss their Godmun Ber-nie,
Her love, her gadgets and playing memory
Who will now feed Tessie at night?
And turn on Zoe’s bedroom light?

Just remember, no matter where in the world you roam
You’ll be missed by all of us here at home.
We love you Bern, you’re the best of friends,
It’s “goodbye” for now, until your journey ends.

Love and will miss you heaps
