The Brisbane Circus Centre will open in 2022 after a fundraising campaign by not-forprofit organisation, Flipside Circus. Flipside Circus raised over $115,000 in its inaugural Giving Day to go towards the purposebuilt training centre and performance space. The new centre will open at Northshore in Hamilton and has been designed with the needs of Brisbane’s thriving circus community as well as the training needs of Flipside Circus’ young artists.

This is Us, Nundah
Nundah local Gaylia Lee, from This is Me Photography embarked on an ambitious project to take 52 portraits in 52 weeks in 2021. She spent the year meeting locals, taking their photos and sharing their stories. Her subjects – people who live, work or love the local area – are our cover stars for this issue.
Gaylia decided to start the challenge to help her gain more confidence and live courageously, while getting comfortable with rejection. “Every single participant surprised and delighted me by sharing their experiences and their willingness to be photographed,” says Gaylia. “With 52 portraits, I was able to share what an amazing community we have in images and words and capture a time capsule of Nundah 2021.”
Gaylia said that it was surprising and beautiful to be reminded that regardless of our differences, we are all very similar. “I was often amused by the parents who answered similarly. Most proud of? Kids. Biggest challenge? Kids.” Gaylia is already planning her next project, and wants to inspire and support others who are working on their own project… or even starting a movement!
“Maybe you’re starting that side hustle… finally! If so, I want to photograph you and share your project. Let’s inspire and support each other,” says Gaylia.

LEGAL MATTERS
with Aaron Ball from Shorestone Legal
Co-parenting in a pandemic
The blessing, “May we live in interesting times” is, of course, meant to be ironic. It’s really a curse.
Unfortunately, it seems we are all still living in ‘interesting times’ in 2022.
The announcement in January, about the delay to the start of the school year, certainly made ‘interesting times’ for many separated parents. Co-parenting arrangements are often scheduled in accordance with school holidays and the beginning of the new school term.
This has led to confusion and, in some instances, unnecessary conflict between separated parents. In these ‘interesting times’, it is important that all parents put the best interests of children first.
Spending time with both parents and their families is important for children, unless there is an unacceptable risk to their safety. Denying or limiting children’s time with another parent, contrary to the intent of parenting orders, is likely to be very harmful to the children.
If you’re having problems with parenting arrangements, or the interpretation of family court orders, get advice from a family lawyer as soon as possible.

HEALTH & FITNESS
with Davina Donovan and Rob Lloyd from Fitstop Nundah
Setting realistic goals for 2022!
2022 may not have started the way you hoped and your health and fitness goals might seem non-existent as a result. We’ve devised these 5 tips to get back on track, no matter where you’re at right now.
1. Be kind to yourself. What you want to achieve and what you mentally and physically can achieve right now might be different. That’s OK.
2. Hit reset. It’s OK to look back over the first part of the year and see it as a ‘write off’. This doesn’t mean that you abandon all your goals. Start again! or drop a dress size at the start of the year. Instead, use tips 1 and 2 to set realistic expectations.
4. Talk to your trainers. Don’t be afraid to call on a trusted person to help set realistic health and fitness goals.
5. Start slow and reassess.
Get moving and do something, even if it’s 1% of what is needed to achieve your goal. 1% is better than 0%. Come back to your goal list mid-month and readjust your goals based on your progress.
3. Lower your expectations.
Perhaps you’re not going to lift a PB
2022 has only just started. It’s salvageable!
