    When Social Media Inspires (or not)

    Procrastination – a necessary evil?

  • My Writing Space.

    My Writing Space.

    Separate to this post, we are also asked to ask YOU for ideas on what to write about. So tell me? What would you like me to write about? Any particular genre or style or topic? Right now, I’m typing this at my desk, in my home office. This hasn’t been my “normal” writing space…

  • What Have I Learned?

    What Have I Learned?

    I feel like I am constantly learning. Which is a very good thing. I recently transitioned careers and so I am learning something new almost every day. It’s tiring, for sure, but it’s also amazing and rewarding and inspiring. So today I’m tasked with writing a list of the things I’ve learned. First up, how…

  • 2017 Life Update

    2017 Life Update

    I accidentally took two months off from the blogosphere. It was a crazy end to 2016. I checked with Qantas who told me that I took 31 flights with them, totalling some 26,500 miles, from April to December 2016. In January 2016, I moved to Melbourne and didn’t travel for those first 3 months as…

    Contemplation – Cliches

    We’re back again for another Contemplation – where I share with you a prompt from my Kikki.K A Sentence a Day journal, and invite you to share you response along with me. The prompt for today is a fun one, not too deep: What’s your favourite cliche? Ha! I love cliches. I have a friend…

    Contemplation – Conversations

    Hello Fellow Contemplators – I hope you’re all well. Sorry it’s been a little while since our last Contemplation. It’s Sunday here in Melbourne and I’m sitting down to prepare a few blog posts for the next few weeks and I hope to get a few contemplations done while I’m here. Flipping through my A…

    Contemplation – Young or Old?

    Welcome to week 15 of Contemplation, where we share our responses to a prompt from my Kikki.K A Sentence A Day Journal. Last week, we talked about what challenges we’d overcome that day and many of you commented (as did I) that challenges often seem so much worse when there are a lot of them,…

    Contemplation – Week 14

    Welcome to week 14 of Contemplation, where we share our responses to a prompt from my Kikki.K A Sentence A Day journal. This week’s prompt: What challenge did you overcome today? You know, I’m not so sure that overcame any challenges today. I don’t know whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing? Maybe…

  • Contemplation Hiatus

    Contemplation Hiatus

    Hello everyone.  Many apologies for the lack of Contemplation over the last three Mondays. It’s been very busy and a wee bit stressful here at the moment and I’ve had to take some time away. I have travelled through the Reader occasionally and if I have taken too long to respond to comments, I’m sorry. …

  • One Love

    One Love

    The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge this week is One Love. I’m taking this opportunity to show you something that I love doing, which is layering lettering over photos. Right now, I’m just using apps on my iPhone, but I will be doing a Photoshop course soon and I also want to do calligraphy and hand-lettering…

    Time Passes

    For The Daily Posts’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Time.   This photo was taken in Mackay, very near my home town – we were driving for dinner with extended family. I like this shot – I took it from the car window (Dad was driving😋) with my Olympus OMD EM5 – such a fleeting moment…
