• The Girl before

  I used to be her. Bubbly. Full of life. A mischevious laugh. A big – yet charming – flirt with guys and a best friend to all girls; especially to the shy introvert. I couldn’t help but adopt them. I was an extrovert – loud, brash, mouthy, cheeky and filled with rainbows, forest green glitter […]

• The little things

  A fellow blogger has a blog titled “the pauses in between”. It’s a gorgeous blog, I highly recommend it ☺️. We Filo’s gotta hype each other up, huh? Anyway. What I wanted to write about was about the small moments in life – the ones in between all the big moments, because they’re the ones […]

• Square 1. Again.

  I’ve re-drafted my Memoir and feel really confident that it’s a beast right now. Yass! I’m anxious to have an Editor read it, but it was ready…so this evening I’ve sent my Memoir to my new book Coach/Editor to look over. Squeeeeeee! I’m hoping Annie likes it and hope the feedback won’t hurt. Fingers crossed […]

• 30 questions with JD :)

  Totes copying from an awesome blog by one of my favourite bloggers “Frog Machinery” where he interviews himself and gave us all insight into who he is as a person. In true Janet fashion, I like his idea and want to do the same. I’ll put the kettle on, you get comfortable. Let’s go! When […]

• Friends make the world a much better place

  I’m off mood stablisers and this is my 3rd week of withdrawing from them. It has been HELL. I’m not even kidding. So now that no medication is ‘stabilising’ me, I’m crying at the drop of a hat. Everything makes me cry. Toast that dropped on the floor – butter side up – I stared […]

• 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 […]

• It will probably be a year until I see my 1st book

  I emailed my “production team” 4 days ago asking for an update on how my Memoir was going. I knew from previous emails that it would be a few months until my book passed the “editing phase” but today an Editor responded to my inquiry saying the editing process “could take 9-12 months” 😳 Oh […]

• The time a homeless man gave me money

  I’ve had enough of hurting, I’ve had enough of crying so today, let’s go back to 2008 and re-visit a memory that makes me smile, ok? I had moved back to Perth (woohoo) while still married to my first husband to go back to Uni. We’d searched like maniacs for an apartment for me and […]
