• 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…

• 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…

• Hold on tight

  I’ve been ill so much these last 4 weeks that sadness and frustration are creeping in and my anxiety is doing it’s best to convince me I’ll never feel better again. So instead of worrying (so hard as it’s what I naturally do), I want to list the good things in my life. I have…

• Surviving parent guilt

  Since my Dad died, I’ve come across new things. Like crippling grief. Grief that looks and feels like 80 feet waves pummelling me, tumbling me, confusing and frightening me. Grief like that. Grief that – like waves – doesn’t let you come up for air. It doesn’t stop for a second so you can’t stop.…

• Thankful

  I’m still in pain. Still suffering. Still uncomfortable no matter what position I sit or lay in. So instead of complaining, I’m going to tell you what I’m thankful for. I’m thankful for Alun. He’s going through a lot of grief and has his friend Dave’s funeral on the 8th June. Even so, he is…

• 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…
