Ending Murdoch’s reign and society’s pain.
What would you change about modern society? This is a highly poignant question requiring deeper reflection and thought. At first, I was going to write about certain negative aspects of social media platforms. Don’t get me wrong; I believe that social media plays a crucial role in contemporary society. Unfortunately, the once powerful and far-reaching…

It’s complicated. Sort of …
When given the luxury of working remotely, I either play gentle background music, preferably meditative or new-age-world or opt for complete silence. I have eclectic tastes, everything from new wave 70’s romantic punk rock to everything contemporary. Albeit, I just can’t or don’t do heavy metal or country music. Those two genres are diametrically opposed…

Too many choices …
What’s your go-to comfort food? Growing up, mum would lovingly wash, cut and cook to perfection hot delicious morsels of potato goodness, aka hot chips. She would couple them with a cup of sweet tea, fresh bread and the generous smearing of tomato sauce. So now, when I’m craving comfort food, I’ll meticulously cut and…

Games, what games?
Video games? Hell no, I’m like seriously challenged when it comes to video games, and always have been. Card game? Not really my thing, mind you; I’m still trying to play the dud hand of cards life itself dealt me. Board games? Nope, not my thing either. Oh, hang on, I have enjoyed playing Cards…

Howling Winds, Part 1
It was an absolute struggle to close my eyes against the onslaught of the pervasive howling winds. Even worse, I needed to dodge the unrelenting airborne razor-sharp glass shards and twisted-jagged metal. What good would I be to the mission if I died within the first 5-minutes? None, Man, “Get your act together”. We landed…

The gift of being introverted…
I’m not going to lie. I definitely identify as being introverted, albeit a confident introvert. That’s not to say I really enjoy other people’s company and can handle being front and centre (for a time). I love people. I love engaging with people in genuine, authentic conversation, not trivial or superficial crap. Not to mention…

Humble Pie…
What foods would you like to make? Seriously? Humble pie, actually learning how to successfully swallow it. Even, savouring its unique flavours and textures. That is, learning how to not have it repeat on me, thus thwarting an opportunity for it to cause unwanted emotional indigestion.

Introversion … the power within
I’m not going to lie. I definitely identify as being introverted, albeit a confident introvert.

Dogs …
Dogs or cats? 100% unequivocally dogs, dogs and dogs. Oh, did I say dogs already? I count myself very lucky to have had several incredible dogs, who made remarkable friends and confidants. I totally understand the “therapy dog” and their remarkable ability to assist those needing support. Cats, nah they’re not my jam. Sorry, not…

Today’s Prompt… ah the struggle
What bothers you and why? I opted to receive WordPress’s daily writing prompts; why? Glad you asked, my friend; I desperately needed the motivation to take my somewhat sporadic and feeble attempts at writing to a productive and positive space. That was the plan; I’ll let you know how it works out in the long…
