The question

Continue reading →: The questionI fell in love with Matthew Jenkins at a Speedway in Gove. We lived in a small, paradise-like sea-side town in the tip of the Northern Territory. There were only 1000 residents, so we grew up never knowing what a lock was. Our car doors and house doors were always…

I have SO MANY amazing, caring, sweet, incredible friends, an extraordinary husband and a Mom who loves me so very much. She drives me nuts, but she’s my Mom.

Continue reading →: The worst day of my lifeI remember it as if it had just happened. Dad was in a bright blue tshirt. Dad always picks horrible clothes, bless him. He loves bright colours and garish, horrible patterns. When we travelled around the US almost 30 years ago (how is it that long ago?) I was embarrassed…

An imperfect Christian

Continue reading →: An imperfect ChristianAugust 23, 2018 My friend Jack said to me the other day that he’s amused with me calling myself a Christian because I’m one of the cheekiest people he knows. “You’re not very religious, Janet” I know. So I thought I’d address that in today’s blog. Lucky you, eh? I…

Isn’t friendship an odd thing? We pick someone we like, if they like us back, we become friends. We connect on something we mutually like and that’s it…friends. We start hanging out and ‘doing stuff’ together. I’m someone who takes Friendship very seriously. When I like someone, I am 100%…

Oh. My. God. I used to love going to the gym, you know. 8 years ago, I was 20kgs lighter and a BEAST. I loved popping my earphones in, putting on some rap, turning up the treadmill, bike, or cross-trainer to an intermediate level and boom – smash it. I…

Today I went back to the gym for the 1st time in 8 years of doing nothing. It. Was. Brutal. But I’m determined to be back tomorrow. I think it was too soon for the “Couch to 5km” ap. I could only run 3 times out of 8 and was…

I apologise ahead of time but I’m angry, anxious and feel like I’m spiralling. I don’t know what else to do but write about it. Please bear with me. My Mom is driving me completely crazy. She’s moved everything around in our cupboards so we don’t know where anything is.…

Mom, you’re not getting another dollar from me. Ever again. Since my Dad died, my brother, his wife, my husband and I have been financing everything and anything Mom wants. In the first year alone, she shook us all down for over $30,000.00 I’m not sure about the other 3,…

I can’t believe that I’m 47 😳 today. My God!!! Where did all the time go??? These are the things I’ve learnt over the last year: – Trusting in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit will get me through profoundly painful experiences. – Literally no one will stop me eating…

Guys, I’ve had a crappy, no good, miserable, discouraging, horrible day. I hate my job. But this came through on email and I wanted to share it with you: Here in Australia, $56.00 an hour is a huge bloody deal. I’m beyond STOKED. Thank you, God. I’m too bone weary…
