• The heart of my Memoir

  I signed onto a free online class about Memoir writing today. It was difficult to concentrate solely on the class and not look around the room or let my mind drift off to other things. Something I picked up on was finding the heart of my Memoir. The Lecturer said her Memoir started out as […]

• Worth diamonds

  Justin and I have been friends since we were 17, I think. We met on Easter Camp and he was the 1st ever boy to ask for my number. Before the internet and mobile phones, we all had landlines and omg the excitement of a boy calling for me was next level. Justin rang almost […]

• I’m not that girl

  I’m 45, seriously overweight and fed up with life. I’m ugly, guys. I’m not the head turner I used to be. Even so, I want to keep my true ugly form as hidden as possible; so my Instagram and Facebook only show photos from years ago when I was slim and sexy…or are heavily filtered […]

• The question

  I 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 open/unlocked. Nothing ever went missing […]

• If I trust you

  I made a handful of friends in Hospital last December who have become so close to my heart. I care for each of them so deeply. You’ve already heard me go on and on about “Cam”, but there is also “Ron”, “Chris”, “Maggie”, “Betsie” and “EmilyUK” (all names changed to protect them) that I’m close […]

• Conversations with Dad

  

  I don’t remember meeting my Dad, you know. He came into my world when I was 3 years old. Suddenly in our tiny, dirty, shabby Filipino village was a tall white man with a twinkle in his eye and a friendly grin. I don’t remember how we got to be Dad and Daughter…we just were…and […]

• If you could, what year would you time-travel to and why?

  #bloganuary #bloganuary2022 #BloganuaryChallenge #BloganuaryPrompt21 The answer for me is easy – 2009. The BEST and worst year of my entire life. The worst – Because I decided my marriage was breaking me down so I asked for a divorce. I singlehandedly moved from the house with my then-husband in UK back to Australia and I […]

• Good Date #1

  I can’t think of Patrick without smiling, you know that? For a friend with benefits, he’s actually one of my favourite memories. Our first ‘date’ was at my Mom’s apartment. I was divorced, broke and had moved in with Mom to save money. She was away that night – going to a concert with her […]
