Rick Bolt's Blog Random Musings from a Random Bloke

I am proud to say that “Cate Bolt“ is my beautiful wife. Why on earth she chose me I will never understand, but she did and I am grateful to have the chance to part of the life of someone so special. I must say that calling my wife Cate is not something I like, I married Catherine and that’s who she is to me.

Cates Blog does not even give you a tiny look into the person she is and what she had done and been through. There is much more to her, which she may let you see at some stage but I doubt it. Anyway, I’m not a person that shows emotion, I grew up this way and its served me well through most of my life. It has been my downfall on a number of occasions and a total pain to Catherine. I hide behind this, and I do it well. I’m what many would call an imposing figure, 6’5″ tall, passed the 100kg mark, scruffy goatee beard and an aggressive nature. In fact most people confuse my nature with me being rude. I’m not rude, I just don’t trust anybody, if you give trust you get hurt and if you get hurt you show emotion. Makes sense to me!

My wife broke through all that today. It’s not something that happens often, I’m sure Cate will attest to that. But I read her latest blog Throw Away Society – The Brief & Inaccurate History of Conservation! And I cried> It hurt me inside as I know how much Cate loves her Grandma and I know how much those pillowcases mean to her. And yet she still lovingly took them apart for a greater reason then her own love for her Grandma. Cate’s focus is on helping the orphans in Indonesia no matter what pain it will bring her.

But at the same time we are struggling to get some very important matters moving. We have spoken to several solicitors about registering the charity and been given several different accounts on what needs to happen and what it will cost. We don’t have $3,000 to $5,000 to get things started. And even if we did, that money would be better spent setting things up in Indonesia not lining the pockets of a law firm. We understand there are just some costs we have to pay, like the registration of a company (If indeed that is the correct way to start). I have applied to many firms for Pro Bono assistance but to no avail. So if you know of or are able to provide any assistance or guidance in any way, please contact myself or Cate?

There are also many other ways to assist Cate, Please Click Here to read how you could be of assistance?

To end this off, I Love my wife and will fight to the death to support everything she does!

Hi and welcome to my about me page.

First and foremost I am a husband and a parent. With my very beautiful and now high profile wife I form half of the “parent team” to 9 wonderful and  healthy children. We have in our family 8 boys and 1 princess girl and yes, I (lets make this clear, “I” means me and me alone) have spoilt my daughter to the point she does think she is a princess. But what else could I do having only 1 daughter!

My family and I have been through a very trying time in late 2009 and into 2010 and this does not look like changing in the near future. After having completed a lifestyle change and move from Southern Victoria to a rural location on the Sunshine Coast in QLD things went very very wrong! Although a highly qualified and experienced Project Manager I no longer able to find employment, especially after having lost my own Project Management consultancy due to significant changes in the economy.

Therefore my time is now devoted to being focused on my family and volunteering with “Project 18″. I am trying to learn the ropes of internet/affiliate marketing but without any real success as yet!  Please take the time to have a look around my site, you may find valuable information or even just to have a read of my attempt at blogging.

Rick
