I’ve always been an owl not a fowl, but with my kids on holiday – my nocturnal tendencies are getting out of hand. My days are filled with wipe this, feed that, mop this, carry that, tidy this, cook that, find this, pick up that, pick up that again, all to the tune of non-stop […]

Writers – ever wonder what your brain looks like?
In glorious technicolour… ta-da! Yip. That’s your brain. You think I’m kidding? Well I’m not. It goes like this… My bag died a slow, nasty death. It started with the handle slowly detaching itself, first one side, then the other. After that, it suffered a chronic zip failure and it was pretty much downhill from there. So […]
Read moreDancing kittens
Or should that be… dancing AND kittens. My writing has had to wait a bit this week for two good reasons. Technically four. We’ve added 3 kittens to our household. I know… 3! Eek! But the equation is simple maths – 3 kids = 3 cats. It’s the only way it’s ever going to work. […]
Read moreIndulgence…
It is 10:13pm, Friday night. Today started at 5am and marched on at the relentless pace of an army on the trail of the enemy. I’m tired and cranky and feeling somewhat out of sorts. So I’m going to indulge. Is that the sound of taps and bubble bath… I hear you ask… HECK NO! […]

Read moreWet, muddy – but alive
The last week has been my ‘work deadline’ week in which I produce a monthly mini-magazine for our church. It involves some writing, a good bit of editing, some photography, some arm-twisting (to get others to write for me), a whole lot of design and layout and seriously little sleep. Did I mention that I don’t get […]

Read moreThe one that got away
I had a plan for today. I really did. It was rather good too. It involved getting kidlets off to school, then a solid hour writing stint on my project 2, some choreography for dance group tonight and quietly wrapping my brain around cutting our music for the dance we’re working on. After that was off […]

You really should head on over here to meet the lovely lady that sent this my way. In reality, we’ve only just met here in blogland, but it feels like she’s a friend I’ve known forever. She is encouraging, inspiring and has a tranquility about her that breathes through every beautiful word she writes. I’m looking forward […]
