Recently my paternal grandmother passed away after a very long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Whilst obviously the passing of a family member is always sad, her death would not be considered tragic, given how long she lived and especially the state she was in the last few years of her life. Losing her in body […]
Since moving to the beautiful paradise known as Central Queensland last October and calling Mackay home, I have been interested in exploring the local and surrounding areas. I have been pleasantly surprised with the vast diversity that the region has to offer and in the neighbouring Whitsundays. Having spent 29 of my 31 years living […]
Sometimes I wonder if I’m turning into “that woman”. You know the one I’m talking about. That crazy Aunt we all have. The one that’s into tarot cards, and mood rings. Detoxes and vegetarian meals. As I went to my local liquor store the other day to purchase a bottle of wine, I said to […]
The conversations I have with my mother are always exhausting. However there’s very little actual conversing taking place, and it’s more of me just listening. I often get up and leave absolutely exasperated after a certain amount of time. Particularly as my mother treats me like a child quite a lot of the time. I […]
People do this all the time. All the time. We become so enamoured with someone that we pop them up on a pedestal. But what effect does that then have? Look at the classic example of that of a celebrity. You always read about their ridiculous demands. They only want brown M&M’s. They want their […]
My friend retrieved my handbag from the front seat of my car the other day. “What do you have in here?” She asked me, as she struggled to lift it. I always have carried a large handbag. Which is quite comical as I’m teeny tiny, so it almost looks as if I’m carting around a […]
It’s a pretty bleak title huh? I don’t not trust anybody. That’s a lie. But I do trust only a select group of people. Life has taught me this. To have trust requires vulnerability. Because you have to be honest. Honest with your feelings, honest with your flaws, honest with your secrets. I have almost […]
I’m not writing today’s article on account of the torrential downpour we are receiving in Sydney. However the rain and cooler weather is a welcome relief. Not only to extinguish the fires burning around the state, but also because I’m a bit over the hot weather. I’m an outdoors person, however the recent heat has […]
You know, Anthony Robbins says that people do things to avoid pain. Or at least what they fear as being painful. I grew up a Catholic girl. When I had my confirmation in the sixth grade, we were to ask for a gift from God. The gift I chose was courage. I was always incredibly […]
I have opted out of Facebook for the last week on a self imposed hiatus. I have the shits. And I thought that everyone can go fuck themselves and be deprived of my pearls of wisdom. Not that that’s the real story. And I’m joking about my pearls of wisdom. I do really have the […]
