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 […]

How do I get my man to step up?
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 […]
What to do if somebody is trying to bring you down
Have you ever felt that no matter what you do, a certain person will always put you down? Many years ago, I was married quite unhappily to a man who did not have a single nice thing to say to me. It really hurt, and over time, my self confidence took a beating, to the […]
Why am I still single??
Since 2010 I’ve spent a lot of time being single, and it’s been an interesting journey. While I believed I was a good catch, why was I single for so long? (I did finally meet my wonderful man in 2016, which is good news!) Anyway, prior to meeting him, I had friends (both male and […]
How do you know he’s “the one”?
Those of you who know me, will be aware of my interesting love life over the last 20+ years and I’ve often wondered why “the one” has alluded me. Why can’t I just meet “the one” and be done with it, like my parents did?? I’ve been abused, cheated on, had men go back to […]
Should I stay or should I leave? One way to help you make a very tough decision
If you’re in a relationship that isn’t great, it’s not normally a simple decision to opt out of it – more often than not, there are a lot of things to consider before deciding whether to stay and work it out, or walk away. What if you have kids? What about any combined assets? Do […]
How to move on after a breakup
Last Monday my boyfriend of three months (it was actually three months to the day since our first date) dropped the bombshell that he may have to move interstate, meaning that our relationship was basically doomed. Without going into a lot of detail (as I wish to protect his privacy), there were a bunch of […]
Should I get professional photos taken for my online dating profile?
This post is for those ladies thinking of having professional pics taken for their dating profile. My best advice about this is DON’T DO IT!!! I’ve dated a few men, and my conversations with them and my latest guy yesterday was very telling about what happens from their perspective. Bottom line is this: Guys are […]
My boyfriend hasn’t contacted me in two weeks but I can see he’s been on Facebook. What do I do?
Ok, so you know he’s alive, but not so alive that he’s felt the need to make contact with you in the last two weeks. How does that make you feel? I’m thinking you feel hurt, rejected, confused, and a whole lot of emotions that do not = happiness! This guy may be your “boyfriend” […]
Why does my love life suck? Three things you need to stop in order to turn things around
A long time ago, I used to be a bit of a control freak. In fact, I was so good at it that I often didn’t even realise I was being controlling at the time! This is extremely masculine, so I might as well have been a man dressed as a women. Ugh! No wonder […]
