Ambiguity abounds
If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say? I’d create a Billboard with a random and incredibly ambiguous message, that way everybody will interpret it the way they want to, need to, or are capable of perceiving. It would be “hey you! Yes you! It really is your choice, so what are you…

In short…
What are your favorite sports to watch and play? In short I’m not really into watching sport, albeit for an exciting last few overs of cricket (if it’s been a particularly close match and down to a few balls). I don’t mind watching football (soccer) deciders during the World cup, but have to look away…

Depends on the size of the win.
What would you do if you won the lottery? If extremely sizeable I’d pay off our house, bank the rest whilst seeking financial advice on setting on trusts for my kids. This is important as I’d want to make sure my daughter with disabilities is catered for, and protective measures put in place. As well…

I’ve already answered a similar prompt.
What books do you want to read? My previous response still remains, and that is I am most looking forward to reading my completed manuscript. Moreover, I’m most looking forward to seeing it in published form. I can visualise holding it in my hands, feeling the textural elements, smelling the freshly printed pages as I…

A change for the better – Jan 26th – A date not to be celebrated.
Write about a few of your favorite family traditions. One tradition is that we don’t celebrate Australia Day (Jan 26th) as it truly is in poor taste. It fails to acknowledge that today’s date actually marks #InvasionDay and a #DayOfMourning for First Nations peoples in Australia. It marks the beginning of British colonisation and the…

Interesting
What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? I find it interesting that the words ‘leisure time’ aren’t widely used here (In Australia) . In fact, not once have I referred to my ‘free time’ or ‘spare time’ as being ‘leisure time’. I’m more inclined to use the word leisure, as ‘I went…

A bridge too far.
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting. As a Sydneysider I have never actually climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I don’t see it as a tourist attraction, but rather a vital part of Sydney’s infrastructure, especially given I live in Sydney’s northern suburbs.i still marvel in…

Five things I do for fun.
List five things you do for fun. Water play – swimming, frollicking and imaging I am half Eagle and half dolphin – splashing and diving and as I do delighting in the sensation of tiny bubbles caressing my skin. It feels otherwordly. Photography – I delight in losing myself to the world within my camera…

What is love? How do we express and feel love?
Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved? Romantic love? Plutonic love? The deep sense of self-love and belonging to the universe? I’ve got wonderful moments of experiencing romantic love, from my husband proposing to me in a snow covered castle in Germany, to lazing under the stars in the remote outback.…

I love my chosen profession, and my current role however…
What’s your dream job? In a heartbeat I’d give it all away to focus on developing a much longed for career as a full-time professional writer and photographer. I’d be a full time creative. Is it possible? Am I talented enough? Driven enough? Will I ever be able to back myself, and say “hey girl…
