Holding myself back…from me
I’ve realised I’m letting my weight dictate my life right now. Do you struggle with that at all? It’s overtaking my life. Because I’m hugely overweight, I’m not allowing myself any fun. I don’t allow myself to rest, either. If I sit down for more than 30 minutes – even after a 9-hour day at […]

The after-effects of losing a parent.
How does death change your perspective? Death has irrevocably changed me and I will never be the same again. Having lost my Dad – my hero – has now meant my journey through life has a tear through it. I am now the before and after of myself. Before – when I had my Dad […]

For Tommy
Hey there, Tommy. You asked so politely for a few pics of the construction going on with our new decked area so you could compare American work with us Aussies. I ran it by Alun who took LOADS of photos for you, he was so excited to share them with you. Without further adoo (?) […]

1 girl but 2 very distinct personalities
I think that’s who I am. I’m essentially one girl but have 2 very different sides of myself. One half of me is very sweet. Girly. Delicate. This half speaks softly and minds her manners. This half will write you an encouraging note when you’re having a bad day, hold your hand if you’re going […]

Bloganuary – What’s something that you’ve learnt?
Hmm. As in – just recently or in general? I’ll go with just recently otherwise I’ll be here all day, and no one wants that, eh? Something I’ve recently learnt is to say “No“. I’m not at the point where I say it with any confidence…but to say it at all is a big deal […]

Feeling awkward…so I’ll write another blog
Bless my heart. It’s an odd situation to identify something ugly within myself, decide to share it…and then have to SIT with that for the rest of the evening wondering if I’ve lost the respect of my online buddies or not. I have to trust that you guys know what’s best and I’ll nervously await […]

I’m a racist.
I was in Forest Chase - right in the heart of the city just as the sun was rising when I heard it. Music. A guitar and a tune that reached out and ran it’s fingers through my soul. What was this? I stopped. I literally stood still right in the middle of the cobble stone “square” […]
