Happy Mothers Day!
Happy mothers day to all of you mothers out there (I’m not sure if Australia’s the only country celebrating this today, but happy mothers day anyway!)! A little over 13 years ago I became a mother myself for the first time, and I distinctly remember feeling an amazing sense of unconditional love, for the first […]
How to stop accepting crumbs
Oooo boy! I’ve learned a LOT about this over the last year, and I have to say that it’s been a tough but valuable lesson! I am the type of person who hates conflict. I want to make everyone happy and am probably a little too laid back when it comes to how others treat […]

Thousands of people have lost everything, including loved ones, and many parts of the city of Brisbane and beyond is now covered in what I can only describe as a thick brown sludge.

2011 is Almost Here!
2011 is almost upon us, and if you’re anything like me you’re looking back at the year that’s gone and contemplating the year ahead. I’ve had a very tough and challenging year where I made some drastic life changes, but I don’t regret making these changes and I’m excited about the year ahead. I believe […]
Dealing with abuse
I know I’ve been kind of slack lately and I’ve not posted much, but after what I saw today, I knew I had to do something that would possibly help just one more person in this world… I’ve just returned from an amazing trip to Los Angeles (more on that in a later post), and […]
