I remember when my father bought our first colour television. We lived in a hotel and a big boxing match was going to be aired on one of the three channels that existed in those days. The promise of a huge crowd, […]
Yesterday an interview on the radio reminded me that young people were usually risk adverse. Bloody lucky them hey? All free and easy and posting magnificent and exciting stories on Snapchat, all while looking like a bunny rabbit. It immediately struck me […]
I personally love my social media. Facebook for keeping in touch with friends. Instagram to capture beautiful moments in my life and promote my arts, crafts and sewing. Pinterest to gain inspiration around all things creative, culinary and couture. A bit of […]
Instagram has strangely become like a soft porn site for the next generation of women. Pouts, looks of surprise, demure faces staring downwards, stretching sexily like no one is looking, doing cutesy jumps on the beach and looking like they don’t know […]
Seems that lots of my friends have had a crazy start to the year. Conversations about how weird the times are, how frenetic the energy is between people. That things have been tense and long held structures are now shaky and changing. […]
When I was small, the most important lesson I got was from my great-grandmother. I spent my days with her as a pre-school kid, bring mumps, measles and chicken-pox into her house, sleeping on her couch for my afternoon nap and watching […]
The end of the year signals a tradition where we decide on a few resolutions which seek to improve our life coming into the next year. We laugh at how long we will be able to keep up the change; stick to […]
I’ve never heard a really fantastic story about love found on a dating platform. But I have spent lots of time with my mouth agape listening to the horror stories of dating gone south with these types of apps at the centre […]
It’s funny what can end up in your Facebook feed simply because you click onto one random thing that a friend of a friend liked and, voila, you find yourself with all this information about how to do something. In my case […]
If you ask any woman, and leave her to think about it long enough, none of us are that surprised that an incredibly wealthy and powerful man in Hollywood has used his position to sexually assault and intimidate women to fulfil whatever […]
I am three days returned from a two week holiday as I write this homage to the washing. No, I’m not some sort of freak. I don’t like ironing or putting it away into drawers but standing beneath a line, hanging out […]
They say that money makes the world go around. But that said, money doesn’t necessarily bring happiness. My mother always said it was made flat to stack and yes, if it was all that easy, and flippant, us girls would be permanently on a […]
There are many roads to a peaceful life like taking up meditation to keep yourself in the now. The calming practice of yoga or walks in nature help to ground us in the now and push the pressures of the world into […]
I switched off long ago to the mass media and its soul sucking messages about what you should and shouldn’t be saying/teaching/showing your daughter. There are too many things out there which simply work to undermine our female self-esteem and courage like […]
I’m a week back from holidays in Fiji. Eight days with a long-time girlfriend spent in beach clubs, floating pontoons, swimming in crystal clear water, sail boats, champagne, great food and heaps of laughter. I have been stopped in the street and supermarket many […]
The first warning sign was a change in my jeans size. I had basically been around the same size for the last fifteen years, sometimes up a little as well as down. What had changed was not around the butt or the […]
The jokes started through our small Facebook group. Was it really thirty years since we left school? Are we really that old? Who is going to go? Who else would be there? Our lives now, dispersed across states and countries, different responsibilities […]
I haven’t yelled at the television for so long. It is a trait I picked up from my now departed grandfather who was completely unable to watch the six o’clock news without swearing at stories about politicians. But last week, as I watched a media […]
Don’t you love those beautiful times when you just do nothing at all? Stopping, slowing down, unwinding apply to so many aspects of our lives because doing not much is important. You hear about it in conversations around fitness and training, about […]
Wow, isn’t life just busy? Ask anyone, they will tell you. So busy, so much on. Can barely grab a minute to one’s self. Work, oh god, children, weekend commitments. Very, very busy. Very, very boring. Very unfulfilling. Very much a cop […]
