• 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 – 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 Stanford County Jail/Prison “experiment”

  I heard about it a few years ago. I think YouTube recommended it to me. Hmm. If you haven’t heard about it, it was a “psychology experiment” of power and the abuse of it, given the opportunity to do so and get away with it, run by a Psychiatrist in the 70’s. It was supposed…

• 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…

• Happy Memory #2

  Alun and I were moving house. I was SO EXCITED about it as the first home we moved into was something Alun chose while I was working long hours and when I saw it, my heart dropped. It was an old (VERY OLD) yellow cottage on a quiet street near a Primary school and really,…

• A happy memory

  When I told Jon I wanted a divorce, he left our house that night and moved back in with his family. Jon was surrounded by an entire, loving family while I paced up and down in the living room on my own for months afterwards. The first few days after Jon had left, the electricity…

• 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…
