Start again … and again … and again.
What would you do if you lost all your possessions? I’d be okay so long as I was able to secure the safety of my family and loved ones, as well as protect valuable identification and legal documents. All other possessions are just things, that are replaceable. I think growing up as I did, in…

Out of place or simply different?
I have felt different my entire life. I was born the 8th child of 10 kids. I was shy and reserved and viewed life from a different lens than that of my siblings. I have always been a deep thinker, happily traversing the depths of esoteric thought. I was both cerebral and visceral. I was…

Why stop at just one new skill.
What skill would you like to learn? I would love to further hone my writing skills, my photography skills and my gardening skills. I’d love to develop my pottery skills, painting strokes and money making skills. Most importantly I’d love to improve the skill of time management. Oh and to be honest, the introvert in…

Honestly?
In a world full-to-overflowing of being ‘time poor’ there are so many aspects of my life that I could and should pay more attention to.

That can be…

They say, “Action is the enemy of thought”, and I partly agree, as in some ways, it can be the enemy of idle, unproductive and intrusive thought. Yet, in other ways, hard work helps to stimulate creative flow and thought, leading to moments of great catharsis, mental clarity, hindsight and insight. I just feel that…

Tough question!
What’s the trait you value most about yourself? I would have to say my flexibility of thought and action. I have a highly nuanced way of seeing the world, people and interactions. It’s almost as if instead of rose-coloured glasses, I wear a multifaceted prism, or lens that helps to show deeper connections and patterns.…

Ideals of social justice and Social mobility
What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in? Personally, growing up as the 8th child of 10 kids to 6th generation Australian parents (cultural heritage mixes of English, Irish, Scottish, Spanish and Finnish/Norwegian) led me to understand first-hand poverty, resilience and self-acceptance. I don’t subscribe to a class-based society,…

Product quality over name.
What brands do you associate with? I did think I was brand loyal, however realised that what drives my purchasing power is product quality, not brand. My favourite Almond Milk, which was Vitasoy unsweetened Almond milk recently underwent a change in recipe (for the worse I may add) The product now tasted like generic unsweetened…
