Australia’s small country towns have long been the backbone of rural life, offering a unique charm and a sense of community. However, in recent years, these towns have been facing a troubling trend. As people move into the Main Street and convert commercial buildings into homes, the domino effect of businesses closing down has transformed once vibrant communities into ghost towns. This article…

✨ What if not having a passport meant that you could no longer go to a restaurant and instead were forced to have picnics and dinner parties? ✨ What if not having a passport meant that instead of supporting huge supermarket chains where 80% of the food is rubbish, you instead had to turn to your local farmers and green grocers? ✨ What if not being allowed to fly meant that instead you had to…

Time Of Our Lives -2019

Reflection of pre COVID is a place now. Filled with the life that we loved. Writing this in hindsight is the perspective that I could have avoided by posting during those amazing times but I got caught up in life.. During the second half of 2019 I had several changes in my job which was challenging both emotionally and financially but the growth that came from that period was immense. During…

Caught Up In Life

I cant believe my last post was back in June of 2019? There has been so much happen in my life and the world since then. Clearly a time to reflect as I sit in Mandatory Hotel Quarantine in Brisbane Australia because I have travelled from one state to another… I cant even believe i just typed that. We have been through tough times before and I know we will get through them again. But first I…

💖 Each morning when we awake, we have an opportunity to create our day with what inspires us the most.

The moment during the day when we very first open our eyes and come into consciousness is a precious opportunity. It sets the tone for all that comes after it, like the opening scene in a film or novel. At this moment, our ability to create the day is at its most powerful, and we can offer…

Lovin’ life starts with a coffee…

Everyday starts with a coffee and a meeting with myself. Currently as I am technically “unemployed ” I spend my morning ensuring my kids are all set to have the best day yet! After that I stop to breathe for just a moment and focus my thoughts from mediator, referee and peacekeeping.

It’s the comfort that I get when taking that first sip of a coffee made with love… The care that has gone into…

Pepper – sanity saviour

So it was an emotional morning and as a self proclaimed coffee snob waking in an apartment with no coffee machine and an energy vampire sucking any life out of me finding a coffee was crucial, no a good coffee was imperative!

It was   going on the 3 hour mark before  i found the right quirky, hipster, coffee snob looking cafe. It was by sheer co-incidence or perhaps fate.  Things could have…

Sharing the very little strength I had left to support my best friend and daughter.  I dropped her off into the unknown, knowing that the vision of battle field was building and the tidal wave of fear  was about to promote the fight or flight response…  Summoning the voice of reason, words or wisdom or playing hard ball .. she soldiered on. RELIEF

As we travelled kilometre by kilometre we were feeling the uneasy feeling of reaching to top of a slippery dip and about to plunge into the unknown and the abrupt stop at the bottom called reality…

I think my tank is empty!

It’s been 6 months since my last blog which seems like yesterday, but I guess time flys when your having fun! Lol

Actually the last 6 months have been some of the hardest yet.. I feel that I’ve “come to the end of line” so to speak. I have run out of patience, empathy, love, gratitude, passion, fulfilment, drive and the daily regeneration for the love of life I’ve always had.

My current state…
