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…

Interestingly …
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? Honestly I can’t remember, however what I am sure about is that obviously it was too much and definitely not worth it. Having said that some of the most delicious food/meals that I have had the privilege to eat are from…

Phone screensaver/home screens
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that. I just read a mind-numbingly boring piece on the psychology of saved images and phone home screens. What’s on my mobile phone home screen? A photo of trees awash with glorious sunlight. BTW we call our mobile…

My plants.
Describe one habit that brings you joy. I love my outdoor garden, however it is my indoor plants that bring me such innocent and honest joy. I squeal like a little girl when I discover new growth, an unfurling leaf or flower. Every morning I say “good morning my beautiful plants” and rejoice in the…

Who are we? What are we?
Is it any wonder that so many of us seem to be struggling with life, and the prolific geopolitical problems, not to mention the ensuing social and political issues? Regardless of what small piece of earth you call home, we are all affected. Some of us more directly, whilst others are affected vicariously. The need…

Where do I start?
What are you curious about? My middle name is curious! Ok, perhaps that’s a bit of a stretch. Seriously though, isn’t life all about learning, about being absorbed and inspired by curiosity? I’m curious about everything, I kid you not! If I’m reading an article and am presented with a word, term or topic I’m…

Do-you-think-he-saurus
If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be? I’d bring back a Do-you-think-he-saurus and play a wicket game of hide & seek.

Threadbare
How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? I would describe myself as being somewhat threadbare. That is a little tattered and worse for ware in some places, as if the tides of life have been a little too abrasive- a little too harsh. Yet, other parts of me remain deeply textured…
