the comfort of food…
Some of us eat to live. Others live to eat. I probably fall somewhere in the middle of that continuum. Influencing personal preferences are things like cultural and family rituals, environment and health. For most adults, it is one of the few things we can do in life that is totally up to us as to…

every trip has a story…
We have been in the USA visiting and, hopefully, helping my Mother and immediate family for the last two and a half weeks. Our intentions were good, but our execution of the plan left a little to be desired. We had booked the trip 10 months ago when Qantas was having a good sale on…

…connections, the gifts we give to ourselves
I have been thinking about connections. Specifically, connections with people, as well as whatever else sustains us in our lives. These are the true gifts we give to ourselves. What started my thought processes ticking over was a passage from a book I’m still reading called ‘Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life’ by Barbara Kingsolver.…

my experience with a personal trainer
I’ve cleaned our house for years, not because I love cleaning, but because I love a clean and orderly place in which to live. And when it comes to exercise, it is not much different.

Why we have eyes
We have eyes to see, of course. But what do we see? As I was going through the grocery store this morning I could see that some of the veggies were a bit passed their prime. I could see the ‘use by’ date on the dairy products, that there was no fish I particularly fancied,…

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…

Euphoria Inversion – Remedy
Occasionally there is an energetic phenomenon that takes place called the Euphoria Inversion. It is difficult to identify in the early stages, before all the indicators are noted. The affected person feels like they are in their normal mode, but nothing quite works. There are gremlins in the wifi network, a hole in the coffee…
