As I write this post, I am listening to the quiet that surrounds me. The rest of the house is sleeping and the early morning birdsong is the only sound filtering in through the open window. A new year has dawned. For some, that simply means another day, for others, it is the chance to … Read more
Last week I was listening to Kelly and Brooke’s Let It Be podcast where they were answering listener questions. One inquisitive listener asked the girls, ‘If you could do any job in the world (other than what you do now – even if it’s your dream job!), what would it be?’ Interesting question right?

Scrolling through Facebook the other day, I came across this quote from Sally Coulter. Now, I have no idea who Sally Coulter is, but this quote and it’s inherent message kept streaming into my consciousness all day. I’m not sure where I sit with this. As much as I can see what Sally is … Read more

Let’s play a little game. It’s called: “I still have so much in my head to process and the only way I can blog is with a word prompt.” It’s a bit like those taking stock posts, except nowhere near as good. Okay, let’s go: Writing: I’ll start with this because it’s the only thing … Read more
It was bound to happen. It always happens. You’ll know what I’m talking about. When you come home from holidays and reality just smashes you in the face. As if to say, ‘Helloooo! I’m here! Life’s not one long vacation you know!’ Yep, that’s what I’m talking about. This last week has been full of that … Read more
I can’t believe how quickly the past month has gone. It only feels like yesterday that the kids and I were counting down ’17 days till we move!!’ and now here I am, almost 30 days later typing this at my new office in our ‘new, but not new’ house. I think I mentioned in … Read more
