stocktake [oct20]
so f*kn PROUD
find simplicity
a lost post
o0o I have just recently come across a post that I obviously began somewhere in the first half of this year, but which for some reason I did not get around to finishing. I think that it may have morphed somewhat and become a post on another site, but I have decided that I shall include it […]
how fortunate am I?
o0o With each day that passes, I am more and more glad that I left work when I did. I am also very very aware of how incredibly fortunate I was, to be in the position of having the support (in all ways) from My Love, that meant I was able to have […]
backstory breakthrough
o0o Back in June last year I’d been hammering on for probably 2 years about leaving work, but still couldn’t see a finish line particularly due to the fact that I had $13 less than $14,000 in credit card debt. 😐 However, back in June last year – and still in gainful employment; […]
feeling flat?
o0o When you’re feeling a bit flat, one of the very best therapies is to get outside. If you can plant something and immerse your hands in the dirt, it makes the experience that much better for you!! There has been so much evidence around the massive improvements in mental health for those […]
RECIPE: Butter Chicken
I’ve always been a bit careful of cooking with herbs and spices. Truth be told, I’m a bit scared of them – as I don’t know how they fit together and how each herb and/or spice reacts with and compliments others or how the tasty flavours are made. But LAST week I got super-brave […]
a perfect happy life
o0o When looking through our social media feeds, it can be sooo easy to get caught up in the snapshots people share, & to believe that others have found some ‘secret’ to a perfect happy life. Try to remember these are just that; ‘snapshots’ of beautiful moments amongst the trials and triumphs of every […]
mega update
o0o So here I am – officially over 3 months unemployed!! Its time for a bit more of an in-depth run-down of what Life has been like for me for the last three months – so I’m going to break it down into sections to help me arrange my thoughts a little better… You […]
stocktake [dec19]
o0o It’s been months since my last post cos I’ve been all over the countryside doing alllllll the things. There’s soooo much to write about, but for now, I’m ripping the bandaid off and posting a simple stocktake of where I’m at right this second, to hold y’all off until I can finish up with a […]
huuuge changes
o0o Its six weeks since I last posted. Six weeks since the event that changed my dear friends Life forever – in ways that I can barely begin to imagine. Its also 6 weeks in which my Life has changed – because of the hideous heartbreak my friend has had to endure… Only an […]
lessons
o0o Again – it feels like the Universe is throwing me yet another lesson – because no matter how many it has thrown me in the last couple of years – I keep pushing the lessons to the side – and blindly bumbling on – seemingly oblivious to what is trying to be taught to […]
negative headspace
o0o I feel so at odds of late. In the quiet times when I am by myself, and I am able to spend time being introspective – I can see that I am in a season of a very negative headspace – and have been unable to shift it… I teeter between feelings of […]
stocktake [jun19]
o0o Without further ado, I’m going to do the “Take Stock” thing. Here’s what’s going on with me right now… Making: a bit of a tidier ‘nest’ for our daughter who is due to give birth in less than 36hrs. Cooking: not much at all just yet, but it will be our ‘turn’ in […]
mid-march mayhem
o0o it’s time for a lil mid-march mayhem – also known as an update! lol Respiratory specialist appointment done, followed by a week away at a work conference, and I’m now finalllllly back home. The resp specialist went ok, with another round of lung function testing being done – which were slightly better than […]
wild ride 2
o0o In part one of wild ride, I explained about some of the stuff that’s been going on for me of late, but the update was getting a bit long-winded, so here we are with part 2! Over the last 6 months, my breathing has been getting worse – I have a regular irritating […]
wild ride
o0o Its been a wild ride for the last few weeks, and a ride that I’m still in the midst of, and I’ve gotta say – that some of it I’m not lovin’ so much!! I’d been starting to ‘spiral’ a bit after I last posted, but then a series of events happened […]
difficult talks
o0o It’s been a while since my last post (about 6 weeks or so), and I apologize if you’ve missed me – although it is the season for most people of busy-ness and stress – so it’s probably the case that you haven’t even noticed I haven’t been around…! :)) In days blog, I’m […]
