Feeling down? Try this!
Hey there! I don’t know about you, but I sometimes find myself in a little “funk”. I’m not sure if it’s hormonal, or just one of the ebbs and flows of life. Whatever it is, it doesn’t feel good to be feeling down. So, many years ago now, I found myself in a pretty bad […]
What would you like to improve about yourself?
Most of us have something about ourselves that we’re not completely happy about, at some point in our lives, and I’m interested to find out from you what it is you’d like to improve. Once I have worked out what most people seem to be thinking, I’ll write some posts about that topic. If none […]
Do not be a miserable cow…life is too short
I received some horrible news today, and it really put things in perspective. One of my coworkers – a lovely fella with a wife and kids, who I was talking to only a week ago, died today. He was probably a little younger than me, yesterday was his son’s 12th birthday, and today they turned […]

Ugh! Here’s the thing… we get to choose how we respond […]
Manipulation and control
I have been talking to a lovely young woman in the United States who has been in an abusive marriage for some time, and they have a young child together. Her husband has been verbally and emotionally abusive towards her, and he almost managed to convince her that SHE was at fault for his treatment […]
Verbal and emotional abuse – is this domestic violence?
On Wednesday night, I had the privilege of being involved in a fund raiser for victims and their families of domestic violence. I volunteered from 1.00am to 4.30am at Marshal Point 4 (see pic), where runners were completing a 110km course, each km signifying one life. In Australia alone, around 110 people die as the […]

Want to know how to get your man to step up? Here’s the simple answer: You can’t make any man (or anybody else for that matter) step up, if they don’t want to. It’s as simple as that. Every day I’m seeing posts and comments from women asking how they get their man to step […]
