• 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 – Describe your perfect birthday cake :)

  Omg I love cakes, me. Yum. My perfect cake would be a triple-layered cake (like the one in the pic below) with vanilla sponge as the ‘cake’ bit and loads of tangy lemon curd and freshly chopped up raspberries as the yummy sticky/sauce-y stuff in the middle, holding the sponge cakes together. Then decorated perfectly…

• Bloganuary – What’s a lie you tell yourself?

  Having just read my friend Tommy’s answer to this January/Bloganuary prompt, I have a big smile on my face. As a Christian I’m struggling with finding Tommy’s use of “she called bullsh*t on that” really, really funny. I like a well-placed swearword, me. Sorry Jesus. This is a great prompt and I’m looking forward to…

• Bloganuary – What’s a fear you’ve conquered?

  Well. This is a tough one because I’m actually more afraid now of so many things than I used to be. Traumatic Brain Injury, Depression, Anxiety and numerous (seemingly unending) ‘knock downs’ in my life can do that to a person. Today I wanted to write to you about a fear I wrestled with all…

• 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…

• Camilla D&E Day 5

  Because it’s Saturday, I thought I’d take the day off meal replacement shakes and try to eat some healthy food. I’m eating thin slices of apple right now and pretending they’re potato chips. Not bad but I miss the saltiness and the crunch. Last night for dinner, I made Caesar salad. It looked so good…

• Camilla D&E Day 2

  Ughhhh. Carrot sticks are on my work desk today instead of chocolates and chips. I don’t mind the crunchy carrots but they aren’t really fun to eat. Still, I’m trying and that’s what counts. Yesterday I walked the 15-20 minutes from a train stop before the one I usually get off at. Every part of…

• Camilla D&E (diet and exercise) Day 1

  Ughhhh day one! I weighed myself yesterday and my mouth dropped open at the 85kgs (!!!) where the red arrow on the scales seemed nervous to pause at. I yelled at it, like it’s the scales that are at fault, not me. Hmph. For my height, I’m supposed to weigh 50-55kgs. Omg. This huge weight…

• For Shanti…a shining star in a dark storm

  As writers, we live lonely lives. We write and we try to share our hearts on paper (or in these times of modernity online) but there is always that fear – that worry – firstly of “Is anyone going to read this?”, then the anxious thoughts of of “Will they like it?” when really we…
