The miracle that happened yesterday
Something extraordinary has happened. I don’t know how (and at the moment I don’t much care) I am just so very grateful that it has The how I will work out later We had old friends come and stay People I had known most of my life And whilst they hadn’t been close they […]
There is no ‘one size fits all’ with grief
My mother died at 1am on Easter Monday 2004. That is the day that I think of as the day of her death, not the date on her death certificate. Mum died at 1am on 12th April 2004, she just made it to my daughter’s first wedding anniversary. But because of Mum’s death, I am […]
The world has changed.
I feel as if I’m in a bizarre alternate universe! Here I am at a social media workshop and instead of writing notes we are typing on our laptops and taking photos of the notes on the screen on the wall. These photos I will download later from my phone to my laptop and […]
I’m back!!!
I don’t know where I’ve been for the past three and a half years. To a far off land, a fuzzy head, sleepy, pain filled, body restricting place that I don’t ever wish to return to …. BUT I’m back!!!!!!! I thought the old me was gone forever. Replaced with a tired, dried up, decrepit, […]
The confession of a natural therapist ~ and why I took drugs
For the last few years I have had some health challenges. Slowly, insidiously getting weaker. A slow decline to old age some people said, it’s what is expected.

One thing leads to another…
I bought a cushion! A simple thing you may think, so what’s the big deal? […]
There really is no place like home
Travel. What a wonderful thing to do. Experiencing new places, tasting new cuisine and meeting new people gives us a completely different perspective on life. It broadens our minds and our world view. Hopefully making us more tolerant. As an Australian the thing I find most fascinating about visiting all these places is how old everything […]
Is our capacity to love finite?
On the 11th June, Archer Robert Kenny, our new grandson was born. Interesting energy that this young soul has taken on. Archer is my maiden name and Robert is the name of his maternal grandfather and his paternal uncle (my eldest son). It has taken me awhile to get used to seeing it written down. As […]
The wonderous morning chorus
I woke very early this morning and was unable to go back to sleep. So here I am, sitting at the computer. The world is absolutely wonderous at this time of the day, with new beginnings and endless possibilities. It truly is amazing to be up before the rest of the world. Not even the […]
