Why indeed!
Why do I blog? or more importantly why do I write? I am like a multifaceted, multi-nuanced threadbare rug, with many textures, colours, and shades. I’m a complex, overthinking pragmatic dreamer with my head in the clouds and my feet firmly embedded within the earth. I am like a tethered balloon – half adrift- half…

When there’s the promise of light & energy.
What’s your favourite time of day? I love the promise of early morning, when dawn quietly unfurls her rays of light, and birds fill the air with songs. Likewise I adore evening, as the moon etches across the sky – leaving a trail of dreams behind her. Yet, there is another magical moment when as…

My family
What motivates you? I have multiple sources of motivation, however the greatest is my role as mother and parent. More importantly, it’s the fact that I am a special needs parent- that is I have a daughter who has a disability and additional life-long support needs. My daughter woke me from a deep sleep of…

Mother nature and time in the great outdoors.
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. I’m excited about taking 10 days off and heading out bush to camp under the magnificent Australian star-studded dark sky. I’m excited to stop at a city (large country town), just west of the Blue Mountains on the first night. Why? Because I’ll be stopping…

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…
