Handling Change and Challenges Maureen Keary from Conveyancing at Pittwater has now completed 13 transfers and graduated from the PEXA Direct Program – a testament to her hard work over the past five months. Maureen recently participated in the ANZAC Day Kokoda trail and we wanted to share her inspiring story with you: Maureen Keary: I’ve just returned from doing the Kokoda track for Anzac Day. With our work always so busy and often time consuming, I’m constantly looking for a goal to help balance work/life. My son did it five years ago and when he returned I mentioned how I’d love to do it, he said “You’re too clumsy!”. Fast-forward four years, I’m doing it with a friend 15 years my junior who jumped at the opportunity. After paying the $800 non-refundable deposit, I was advised to get doctor’s clearance due to my age - over 60. I had a sudden realisation of the tough journey ahead. It’s been the best adventure I’ve ever taken. From the first time sleeping in a tent to trekking nine days straight. The climb was so steep we used the roots of the trees to get to the top of the mountain. The journey was tough, especially since wet season finished late making the trek extremely slippy. Every day was an adventure and anyone who knows me will confirm I love to talk so I shared a lot of my life stories on the way. My favourite part was meeting my hero’s family (Alex my local support guide). He was 21, with a 5-year-old son whose wife died during childbirth. His son Andy did half the trek with me playing games and laughing along the way. Life is about change and embracing your fears. Kokoda was just like PEXA for me last year, we all need to do new things and embraced them, just like I did with PEXA. Maureen second from left and in middle with myself and Sally Kite PEXA NSW Manager. . Contact me so I can personally deliver PEXA qualifying stickers to you. As always, I’m available in person or on the phone for training and support. Yours truly, Carl.
