• Decisions, decisions.

  I’m afraid to say it out loud because I feel like “life” is waiting for me. Waiting to hurt me. I’m scared that if I tell you I genuinely like my job, like the office, admire the building and even love the pretty park across the street – that life will overhear me and run…

• 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 are the Pro’s and Con’s of Procrastination

  It’s blessed my heart to read so many responses and see the same line in so many blogger’s posts: “…As a procrastinator…”. It’s made me feel so much better because it’s not just me! Hahahahaha. So good. The Cons: It causes me great anxiety to know something needs to be done and that I need…

• 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…

• New Year’s Eve

  Raaaaaa. Where to even begin? So much has happened in the last 4-6 weeks, I don’t even know how to tell you all about it without going on a huge RANT and boring you to death, lol. Let’s just say it’s been an emotional rollercoaster that I have wanted to jump off many times, but…

• 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…

• My Ideal Reader (IR)

  I’m 3/4 through Stephen King’s Memoir “on writing” and have loved every minute of it. He comes across not only as an incredibly talented writer but as someone I’d hang out with because he seems like a pretty nice guy. I love how much he refers to being guided and blessed by his wife when…
