Home is where the heart is… Home is such an interesting concept. That place of rest and sanctuary. As a child I remember living in many houses but not too many felt like home. One place that felt like home was my grandmothers home (which eventually became our family home). That home had been part of all of my childhood years. Now as an adult … Continue reading Home

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends” – Martin Luther King Jnr I used to be friends with a girl who one day told me that I was negative and then stopped talking to me. I found the experience incredibly hurtful and confusing yet also frustrating. It was just when I got engaged to … Continue reading Ghosts
“Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom” – Francis Bacon I have dimmer lights in my lounge room and on the weekend a row of them broke. I’ve been mildly frustrated as it has meant I have had to cook in the dark (both intriguing and dangerous). Right now I’m sitting on the couch and my dog is quietly snoring on my lap.

“When you’re having trouble making a decision you’re making it too soon” – Abraham Hicks So a few months back when I discovered a lump in my breast I started to panic. My aunt has previously had breast cancer so that really supported my worrying too. Today I finally went to see the doctor (although I felt like skipping the appointment at the last minute). … Continue reading Decision

This kind of makes me feel uncomfortable too … Continue reading Passenger
“I’m so busy” – Everyone I really don’t want to miss out on writing today so this will be a quick update. Work has been so busy over the last week and will also be this week. I’m trying to sleep early but that seems to translate into later evenings. In addition to work this week, I need to plan a trip away with my … Continue reading Busy
I spend 5 out of 7 of my mornings rushing around the house trying to get to work on time. I’m not sure why, but I have never been an early riser. The thought of purposefully choosing to leave the comfort of my bed is not appealing to me. One of my most memorable times where I have broken the habit of loving to sleep … Continue reading Morning
“Sleep is the best meditation” – Mahatma Gandhi I challenged myself to write everyday but today in particular I cannot think of what to write.
