A silly moment
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. When my eldest child was around twelve-months old I stumbled into the kitchen, bleary-tired eyes (trying to balance being a first time mum, with returning back to a challenging social worker role). Anyway, I grabbed my son’s milk bottle and added what I thought was a…

Cornucopia of musical memories
What’s your all-time favourite album? I literally have way too many favourite albums, to simply be able to decide on just one. I mean I literally have a catalogue of 1000’s of favourite songs in my mind. I have very eclectic tastes, with just a few musical aversions, such as dislike of heavy hard metal…

Resilience and Healthy Boundaries
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. I wish that I had learned to say ‘no’ instead of learning to try and please everyone. I wish I had learned – I mean truly learned that I was perfectly imperfect, just the way I was. I wish I had learned earlier that…

Most things.
Which topics would you like to be more informed about? I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, I could easily change my name to Why, and let it speak for itself. At present I think that I need more information about how to skill-up and become a technically better photographer (and writer). I’m also thirsting…

A few words.
What would your life be like without music? Life without music would simply feel incomplete, sterile, devoid, empty, stuck and unimaginable. Music runs through my veins.

Personally?
Do you see yourself as a leader? My boss views me as being a leader, as do my colleagues. I, on the other hand view myself as an independent and confident person, thriving from being autonomous. I’ve no desire to lead (aka manage) other professionals, as invariably people’s egos and personalities get in the way.…

Wait for it …
What’s your favourite word? My favourite word at the moment is ‘pause’ , simply saying it out loud elicits a sense or feeling of calm. I challenge you to simply pause for a moment and say ‘PAUSE’. I don’t know if this has the same effect in languages other than English. Let me know what…

Oh hi …
Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. Me: “Hi, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?” Them: through strained smile “uh! Yeah , sure” Me: “Firstly … let me just say thank you for taking the time to speak…

Ah the serenity.
Given that I am away camping at the moment, actually I am sitting in my tent, listening to the sounds of the rain as it falls against the taut canvas. This morning shone bright, birdsong filled the air, and the early morning sun’s rays filled the solar panels. I cooked brekkie on the campfire –…
