. o0o Isn’t it odd how we get suckered into what ‘Society’ deems is important…? I’m so glad that I am re-finding the person I used to be, and the person I want to be – ‘cos ya know what…?? I actually really quite like that person!! :))

clutter

- Leave a comment

In case I haven’t mentioned it before – I am a big fan of de-cluttering. Clutter makes me restless – even when I don’t consciously realize it – and its amazing how quickly I settle, and can make more sense of my Life, home and mind, when there isn’t a… Continue reading »

pain in the…

I’ve been off work most of this week, having only managed one day, before my back and hip decided that they were going to cause me a living merry hell and make sitting at a desk – or doing much of anything useful really – an extremely painful process. So… Continue reading »

op shoppin’

- 2 Comments

One of the things that I’m getting back into the swing of doing, is going to ‘op shops’. For the uninitiated – these are shops where you can buy pre-loved goods. These can be anything from building materials, to clothing, to kitchen ware, to electronics, to furniture – pretty much… Continue reading »

dehydrating virgin

- Leave a comment

Today I had my very first go at dehydrating – pretty exciting stuff I tell ya!! Ok, so it might not be what gets your average Joe or Jill excited, but I can think of endless possibilities with being able to successfully dehydrate stuff. One of those is not running… Continue reading »

those that inspire

A month or so ago, a girlfriend and I had a coffee-date at one of the lovely local cafes. We work together, but don’t socialise much at work, because we both just tend to get busy, plus we work in different parts of the office – so when either of… Continue reading »

about me

I'm an Australian Wife and Mother in my 50s; I am a Writer, an avid reader, a Slow Living enthusiast, an advocate for living your best Life.
Oh - and I'm a coffee junkie!!

At the moment, I work outside of our home as a Regulated Nurse / Quality Manager and whilst I have mostly enjoyed my work for the past almost 10 years, I have now come to a time in my Life when there are more years behind me than in front of me – and I want my world to slow down a bit, to be more enjoyable, and definitely more meaningful for me and my Love…so I'm in the process of crafting my way to a more intentional, soul-satisfying and simpler Life.
