My hardest personal goal
What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? Hands down the hardest personal goal I’ve ever set for myself was to be the person holding my Dad’s hand, staying by his bedside as he slipped away from this life.. Thankfully in his last 4 days he’d been surrounded by mum and all his…

Creative and productive hobbies.
What is your favourite hobby or pastime? My favourite hobbies are definitely writing (I’m an aspiring novelist), photography (I aspire to have a photography exhibition) and gardening. With gardening I enjoy time in nature, the physicality of hardcore gardening and the fact that I’m helping to produce fruit and vegetables. I am also creating a…

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…

Juggling multiple priorities
What’s your #1 priority tomorrow? My priority today (Sunday) is to ensure I balance life’s competing demands and essential priorities. These include making sure my daughter is given her morning medication (for epilepsy and benign brain tumour) and again evening epilepsy meds. I also need to do my son’s weekly plasma treatment. That can be…

On so many levels, physically, mentally and emotionally.
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.…
