my mind on minimalism…
It’s the end of round three of Don’s cancer treatment away from home. We are back in Alice and very glad to not be in a hotel for a while. Nice as it is, it is not home and lacks some of the ammenities…like a bed that our backs like. After a day and a…

my tree and her moon…
Before the moment is gone I must celebrate with you. It is a cooler, drier start to the day after weeks of high temps and humidity. I’m one of these highly sensitive people who, like Goldilocks relaxes best when things are not too hot or too cold…or too humid. I’m sure I’m painful to live…

what goes around, comes around…
Twelve years ago I was treated for breast cancer and cured (yay). As you might expect it was a trying time in which I learned a lot. One of the things I learned is that I had the capacity to do good—even while I was being cared for by others. I also learned how to…

dropping in for the views…
I know that you know I’m decluttering, downsizing, clearing out. You are probably tired of hearing about it but not as tired as I am of doing it. I’m trying to keep myself motivated though and relieved to have as much time as I need to do it. There are many things to be learned…

moving right along…
Is the world actually getting more complicated these days or is it just us? Aside from Don’s diagnosis and the complications that brings, I recently needed to send parcels of gifts that I had intended to hand carry to the US when we visited…which would have been next week had we not had to cancel.…

who’s in charge…
We humans like to plan and execute our lives specifically if possible. But every now and then Life wants us to know who is really in charge. And it ain’t us. In early April, the day before we were to fly to Adelaide for my foot surgery, Don’s flight from Melbourne was cancelled and he…

the five year mark…
(This is the post I wrote last Friday before the ice storm. We had been home two days when the storm came and so I thought this post could wait for more current events!) Many of you were not following when I started my blog nearly five years ago.(a very early post you might enjoy here) I…

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
These are my ‘tatts’. My ‘tit-tatts’, I guess you could call them. (I don’t wish to be crude, but I want you to remember the message of this post.) These are the tattoo dots that are etched permanently into the positions the radiographers used when I had radiotherapy treatments after surgery for breast cancer. No,…

the camera and the app
When I was about 9 years old I received my first camera. It was a little Kodak Hawkeye ‘flashfun’ click and shoot. I clicked and shot… the cat, the flower garden, my family, and friends, who, or whatever would sit still long enough. But in those days, of course one had to be able to…

Kicking it with Kiki
A few days ago I selected the ‘publish’ button on this post. But you didn’t see it, did you? That’s because, for some reason (operator error!) it didn’t publish. And I’m glad. A few hours after thinking it had published, I wished I had written it differently. Sometimes the Universe and I are on the…
