Live Full. Die Empty. #IBOT
There’s something that’s been playing around the corners of my subconscious for the last few weeks, trying to creep it’s way into the part of my brain that actually makes sense of my randomness. (Believe me, it can happen! ) It’s the idea that somehow, I’m supposed to be some kind of inspiration, because I published a book; not my words at all, but many have said that. And whilst I gratefully accept the commendations, and the support is beyond anything I could...

It’s eleven minutes till eleven at night, and once again I find my bed time being pushed back further and further, as my to do list stretches ever further. I finished the second round of edits on my book tonight. (Though it feels like the forty second.)

So what is the book about? I hear you ask. It’s the diary of a stay at home mum. Literally a series of journal entries of a woman doing...

I wrote this post on our road trip down to SA. I’ve only just got around to publishing it. A hundred km’s out of Dunmarra, the landscape is flat and green and a lone bird soars over the road. The temperature outside the car is hot, and the few clouds in the sky hold very little promise of rain. It’s a desolate place. Lone and vacant. And the worst is yet to come. When I was a little girl, I loved Dunmarra. Nothing more than a road house about 650 km’s south of Darwin,...
