As an intelligent 41 year-old, I have had lots of experience with human interactions. Some awesome, some not so awesome...some downright cringe-worthy! What's different about me you might ask? To many I'm just a woman with the same feelings and emotions as you. These people see me as a person. Others immediately see my severe … Continue reading Why I’ve started Through My Eyes
You Can’t Get What You Want, But You Always Get What You Need
Last month was a difficult month. A friendship broke down (I don’t know why to this day, I haven’t even told Mum what went down because I would cry but I think she’s aware because mums know everything), then Roxy our dog gave us a big scare but thankfully she’s healthy for her age! Later … Continue reading You Can’t Get What You Want, But You Always Get What You Need
2018 That Ended A Cycle
For those who have known me for the past nineteen years, I was living in a constant, vicious circle of pain and then fatigue, then the fatigue would cause pain and so on. All this was a result of trauma to my lower back. I won’t say how, but it was at no fault of … Continue reading 2018 That Ended A Cycle
A Life-Changer Procedure
I’ve been quiet for a couple of months because I was gearing up for two operations and they ended up being just under a month apart. Then after the second op I got bronchitis which I’m still getting over but I’m much better than I was thanks to some superdooper antibiotics. Thanks to my Neurologist … Continue reading A Life-Changer Procedure
Looking From The Outside
If you look at me from the outside You might assume she just sits at her computer achieving nothing, Looking at my spamsing body You might be fooled into assuming this, And I don’t make a contribution to the society… This couldn’t be further from the truth. ‘ Even though I have had more bad … Continue reading Looking From The Outside
Being An Adult
{please read this paragraph sarcastically} Everyone says to themselves when they were little, “I can’t wait to be an adult… I’m going to do this and this!” In my case it was “I’m going to become a journalist and have a family of my own and live independently!” Kiddies, adulthood sometimes doesn’t turn out to … Continue reading Being An Adult
Being A Fur Mum
Ten days ago we adopted little Frankie from Melbourne’s Lost Dogs Home. One of my sisters Monique (aka Neaky) were going down to adopt ONE cat (but ended up getting two after seeing how this particular kitty had bonded with another kitten), and I had kinda chose another kitten for Mum, looking online. When I … Continue reading Being A Fur Mum
Judging and Misconceptions
For a while I’ve been holding my tongue about we, as a collective society, are so quick to judge someone or groups of people for things they choose or have no choice over. We all look different, have different faiths or belong to a religion, living with illnesses which are either present or naked to … Continue reading Judging and Misconceptions
Looking For Positives
Since my gorgeous niece Olivia was born on November 31th, my outlook on life has been altered. She has given me something to look forward to. Each cuddle, each smile and each chat (Aunty Jac is always a favourite for having baby chats with) have enlightened my heart with pure joy. I was able to … Continue reading Looking For Positives
New Possibilities
I think when you become a certain age and if you’re finding what you love to do as a profession, you have to force to think “am I enjoying this still? ” Last month I turned the big 4-0! I feel fortunate to be here. Forty years ago on the 10th of October I fought … Continue reading New Possibilities
The Alien Stare
I have been hesitant to write this post. This morning I ran it across my good friend and he was shocked to hear what I’m about to tell you. Two weeks ago coming back from the doctors, Mum left me in the car, while she went into the chemist. My communication device needed to be … Continue reading The Alien Stare
