• 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 […]

• Worth diamonds

  Justin and I have been friends since we were 17, I think. We met on Easter Camp and he was the 1st ever boy to ask for my number. Before the internet and mobile phones, we all had landlines and omg the excitement of a boy calling for me was next level. Justin rang almost […]

• Dates I’ve been on

  For a change, I’m not going to write about my mental illness, my worries, my complaints about work or how sick I feel. Today, let’s talk about boys. I moved back to Perth from the UK when I was 32 years old (2009). Newly divorced, I was super keen to join the dating world and […]

• 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 […]

• The question

  I fell in love with Matthew Jenkins at a Speedway in Gove. We lived in a small, paradise-like sea-side town in the tip of the Northern Territory. There were only 1000 residents, so we grew up never knowing what a lock was. Our car doors and house doors were always open/unlocked. Nothing ever went missing […]

• If I trust you

  I made a handful of friends in Hospital last December who have become so close to my heart. I care for each of them so deeply. You’ve already heard me go on and on about “Cam”, but there is also “Ron”, “Chris”, “Maggie”, “Betsie” and “EmilyUK” (all names changed to protect them) that I’m close […]

• Conversations with Dad

  

  I don’t remember meeting my Dad, you know. He came into my world when I was 3 years old. Suddenly in our tiny, dirty, shabby Filipino village was a tall white man with a twinkle in his eye and a friendly grin. I don’t remember how we got to be Dad and Daughter…we just were…and […]

• Just around the corner

  I saw that Mom was online and clicked on ‘video call’, smiling as I waited for her phone camera to connect with mine. I looked at the mirror image of myself in the corner of my phone screen and sighed – my hair was everywhere and I had no makeup on. I haven’t been bothered […]

• Just…really cool

  I’m temping for the week at the Children’s Hospital, screening any and all guests with Covid questions and asking everyone to sign into the “SafeWA” app. It’s a busy job on the main entrance and in Emergency, but absolutely perfect on one of the wards with hardly any visitors – because then I earn a […]

• the 3 P’s and a C

  April 23, 2019 Hey you, I’m at work and I really love this job. I don’t know if I love it because 1) I really need a job 2) It’s temporary so I’m not getting caught up in making friends/impressing people but I like coming into work every day and time goes by really fast. […]
