A small slice of community … amongst life’s chaos.
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell? I had always dreamt of owning a second-hand (thrift store), not just a run of mill kinda store, but one that could act as a sort of community hub. I envisaged having a reader’s nook, where people could sit and read, maybe…

A heady combination of …
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time? If I could only nominate ‘the most’ important it would need to be the combination of an open mind, compassion for self and others, a sense of self-efficacy, a tenacious spirit and a great sense of irreverence or humour.

Exercising my green thumb
Describe one habit that brings you joy. Like most people I’ve got a mixed bag of relatively good and bad habits. Some of which provide a great source of joy, regardless if I’ve done it a million times already. Tending to both my indoor and outdoor plants is a constant source of joy. Every morning…

It’s the little things that can really make a difference.
After a relatively busy week of juggling home and work life, it was great to get out into the garden and get the serotonin coursing through my body. Digging into the earth while being bathed in glorious sunshine is incredibly health-giving. I replanted some herbs and veggies and picked limes, mandarins and lemons. I stood…
