{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

I remember when I was younger (before everything changed in 2000) thinking I want to walk the length of our then court. I thought “I can totally do it!”. I didn’t, of course…… Continue reading Will

When you depend on strong nerve and muscle relaxant medications to continue to live as comfortable as you can be, you constantly ask yourself “how did I become like this?” Up until I was about 26, after four years of excruciating pain from an incident which caused nerve damage, soft tissue damage and a lower…… Continue reading Medical Cannabis
They Joys Of Shopping
I LOVE to shop! Many women and men do! There’s nothing better than browsing with a friend and/or window shopping. In January I met a friend at Chaddy (aka Chadstone which “claims to be the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere”) when we saw a movie. Afterwards strolling through Chaddy I drooled looking at the dresses…… Continue reading They Joys Of Shopping
Inclusion Not Exclusion
Regularly a group of family, friends and I love days like these; good music, good company and good food! Two Sundays ago, January 22nd, 2017 Mum, Aunty and our close friends were excited to go to the Red Hot Summer Concert at Mornington Racecourse. This was our second gig there with the same promoters. Two…… Continue reading Inclusion Not Exclusion
