Dodging the curveballs

Do you ever find that you desperately wish for a calm and easy week and get pounded with the week from hell where the universe conspires against you?  Yup, that's me this week! It's the last week of work for both Corey and I which makes it just under 3 weeks before we head off!! …

Dreams in the making

Hi!!! Remember me? I used to write random stuff here quite frequently once upon a time! One day soon I shall address all of that and why I've been AWOL, but today I felt compelled to write (thank god, it's coming back!). I knew that it would eventually, but for a little while I wasn't …

The cogs are turning

Ok, so where do I even start about today! Let's start at the beginning and give a huge shout out to The Black Pudding in Echuca. Breakfast = AMAZING. I am a massive fan of an interesting breakfast and these guys nailed it.  The Muffin Melt with eggs was delish - so delish that I didn't …

R U OK?

Today is R U OK day.  An initiative designed to start a conversation and check in with your mates to make sure they're ok and that they know, you're there to listen should they need a friendly ear.  I've been supporting this concept for a few years now and am always heartened to hear when this one little question …

Oh, the outrage!

It never ceases to amuse/concern me how people are so quick to outrage on social media these days.  My Facebook and Twitter feeds this evening have been clogged by the recent atrocity that Miley Cyrus has committed.  And by atrocity I mean Miley just just being Miley in a TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. Ok, …

Stop the rollercoaster

Lacklustre. Dull. Sad. Hurt. Tired. Teary, Hopeful. Bright. Cheery. Lacklustre. If I could draw those words as a circle, I'd do so to highlight the cycle of emotions that I'm experiencing.  Rollercoaster is an apt description.  And that's just in one day.  I'm not sure if this is the dreaded Post-Conference-Downer or not, although I …

All great things are preceded by chaos

I'm not up for many words today, so I present to you my week in quotes: Monday Tuesday   Wednesday Thursday Friday   And one final word from the wise sage that is Miss B: Has your working week been a massive roller coaster of emotions? Do you find inspiration in quotes that reflect where you …
