About this time last year, after a long day of work around house, both inside and out, I found myself fast asleep by 10pm on a Saturday night. Only to be woken from my slumber around two hours later to the screams of a child. I could feel them drawing me out of my deep... Continue Reading →
I’ve read that experiencing a miscarriage is the most profound experience of death a person can experience. No other form of death occurs in and must pass through your own body. The journey of moving through and finding this new normal of being a mother without a child is hard, really hard. Not only is... Continue Reading →
Have you ever had an encounter or experience and it was exactly what you needed for that precise moment in time? I personally believe those are moments sent to me from God, little moments of love; a hug from a father. You might believe they are from someone or something else and that’s ok. I’ve...

Recently I became acutely aware of the massive difference in the shoes that women and men are expected to wear by ‘fashion standards’.

It seems to be more linked with an overthinking mind. It really started when I began taking on responsibility- life and death responsibility-. My brain... Continue Reading →
I've gained a bit of a reputation for doing family and friends special celebration cakes. I've done a few classes and taught myself a few things. I'm no pro, but I really enjoy it and I think I do pretty well. They are very time consuming and costly, so while I love that I can... Continue Reading →
In 2003 I went to South Africa for the first time, I volunteered in a home for abandoned babies. Although Australia does have its own horrible racist history, I had never been exposed to the level of racism as when I went to South Africa. Caring for the African children in the home, Black, Coloured... Continue Reading →
This morning I watched the WugulOra Ceremony honouring our first nations people. Then I had some errands to do. I've made some lamingtons. And tonight I'll probably watch the Australia Day concert from the Sydney Opera House. I also thought I'd play some music from Aussie artists so I made a little list (150 or so... Continue Reading →
I haven’t been doing as much writing as I’d like. Things have been quite hectic for me to say the least. Tomorrow marks day 9 since I started my new job. And I’m really loving it. It’s challenging. I’m learning and still have so much to learn. I also already feel appreciated for the skills... Continue Reading →
