To be honest …
What’s your favourite recipe? To be honest, I don’t really follow other people’s recipes. I have always been intuitive, and this intuition also lends itself to cooking. I find adherence to challenging and unforgiving recipes a little boring and stressful. That is, I’m not the type of personality who gets excited to try a new…

Gorgeously Green.
How would you design the city of the future? I’d reimagine the whole concept of liveable spaces – a whole new paradigm shift. I’m inspired by the green living bricks designed in the Netherlands “ Green moss bricks in the Netherlands are an innovation by a Dutch startup, featuring biologically active surfaces designed to grow moss…

Seriously?
What are your top ten favourite movies? Asking me to neatly recall my top 10 favourite movies, is literally the equivalent an asking me to count the stars in the sky, or grains of sand on the beach. Movies (the good ones that is) have a mystical and magical power of transporting the viewer to…

It’s the intangible… the imagined.
What I enjoy most about writing is ironically somewhat difficult to capture in mere words. It’s the intangible, the unknown, the dance with the thought, the emotion, or the idea. It is the process, the creation, the evolution, unmasking, and even the revealing of something from nothing. The writing process somewhat mirrors or parallels alchemy,…

Change of mind
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell? I used to dream about owning a really cool op shop – that’s a thrift store for those not familiar to the term ‘op-shop’. I guess it relates to the fact that the goods have a second opportunity to be bought, or…

This is highly subjective.
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time? For me it goes without saying that the most important thing to carry is the right attitude. The right attitude is a robust concoction of resilience, compassion, emotional intelligence, humour, humility, integrity, personal reserve and a pinch of healthy detachment. The right…

Interestingly …
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? Honestly I can’t remember, however what I am sure about is that obviously it was too much and definitely not worth it. Having said that some of the most delicious food/meals that I have had the privilege to eat are from…

Phone screensaver/home screens
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that. I just read a mind-numbingly boring piece on the psychology of saved images and phone home screens. What’s on my mobile phone home screen? A photo of trees awash with glorious sunlight. BTW we call our mobile…

My plants.
Describe one habit that brings you joy. I love my outdoor garden, however it is my indoor plants that bring me such innocent and honest joy. I squeal like a little girl when I discover new growth, an unfurling leaf or flower. Every morning I say “good morning my beautiful plants” and rejoice in the…

Who are we? What are we?
Is it any wonder that so many of us seem to be struggling with life, and the prolific geopolitical problems, not to mention the ensuing social and political issues? Regardless of what small piece of earth you call home, we are all affected. Some of us more directly, whilst others are affected vicariously. The need…
