#bloganuary – leisure
What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? What I enjoy most is SLEEPING. I can legit have 3-4 naps on a Saturday or Sunday and consider it a great day. I love writing. Writing is cathartic and keeps me balanced and strong when the world feels so big, so loud, and so […]

Bloganuary – What is your preferred mode of transport?
OMG Car. Every time. I love roadtrips and have sooo many memories of going somewhere new with a car full of people I love. Dad took us all around the East of Australia when we were much younger. He and Mom took turns driving a bright orange Toyota with 4 seats and a ‘tray’ attached […]

Bloganuary – If you had a million US dollars, how would you spend it?
I don’t remember if it was a MILLION or a BILLION dollars – and there’s obviously a HUGE difference there (ahahahahaa!) but for now, let’s go with the ‘smaller’ amount so I don’t have an anxiety attack. Haha. What I would do with a MILLION US DOLLARS – About 2 Million Aussie dollars – is […]

Bloganuary – What chore do you find the most challenging to do?
#bloganuary #bloganuary11 #bloganuary2023 #Housechores #moppingsucks #sweeping #damnit Chores, you say? Well. This ALL depends on how my mental health is tracking, really. Some days, I can do it ALL and the entire house is sparkling. Floors are swept and mopped, bathrooms are spotless, beds are made, laundry is done and the kitchen looks so clean […]

Bloganuary – How do you define success?
This one’s a tricky question because I immediately think of wealth as a sign of success. I think of power in terms of what a person can do at any time they want to as a success – which are pretty much powered by wealth. But what is success really? I would define these as […]

Bloganuary – How far back in your family tree can you go?
Well. Today’s bloganuary post will be very short because I can’t trace my family tree back that far. I envy people who can. It must be amazing. For one, half of my tree is missing. I don’t know who my birth father is or who his family are, or where my African-American roots are based. […]

Bloganuary – A short story or poem about rain
Here’s my go at a poem. Keep in mind, I have no idea about the rules of poetry, I’m taking a stab in the dark: Rain When I see big fat raindrops the ones that look substantial and slide down window frames as if they’re taking a stroll in a park I think of Aurelie…because […]

Bloganuary – What brings you joy in life?
These things bring me joy: Time with people I love ❤️ Books. Reading a good book is so good for resting and resetting. Singing. Omg I love to sing. Even when I’m hurting, singing brings me so much peace and healing when I’m struggling. Gardening. I love plants and seeing them grow is such a […]

Bloganuary 2 – “How are you brave?”
It’s funny how life works, isn’t it? What you spend time thinking about, you find yourself surrounded in – like, if you’re pregnant and obsessed with being pregnant and all it’s wonders, you find yourself noticing other pregnant ladies, babies, baby clothes – it’s suddenly everywhere. For me, the theme of my life this year […]
