Remembering Dad …
What brings a tear of joy to your eye? I’ve moved to a place in my grieving journey where I’m able to lovingly gaze and reflect upon photos of my father. Dad passed away 5 years ago, and I was incredibly honoured to be the one to hold him as he transitioned from this life.…

Something I wrote a few weeks ago … specifically questioning why I blog, and whether it’s all worth it.
Why do you blog? Let me start out by saying that I love writing. I love sitting down and creating something from my mere thoughts. My memories, observations and ideas work together to create something uniquely mine. Like seriously, the human mind is extraordinary! Amazing! Taking time out to write allows me to momentarily remove…

Dawning of a new age.

Outside the birds have awoken, embracing the new day with a cacophony of birdsong. There is incredible stillness, yet a somewhat foreboding…

Too many to choose from, yet again.
What’s your favorite recipe? Homemade Vietnamese rice paper spring rolls with thick unctuous satay dipping sauce. Soaked and dried rice paper sheets encasing thin rice or bean vermicelli noodle, lashings of freshly picked mint, grated carrots, toasted shallots, prawns or crispy lettuce & chilli. The unctuous satay sauce is accompanied by a tangy and spicy…

Abuzz with excitement.
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. Okay, I’ll be the first to admit I have a very healthy inner child, and she is willfully strong and exudes a natural sense of awe and wonder. So, my adult self is prone to ‘breakouts’ of awe-inspired wonder and excitement. So, the simple act…

Innovation, inclusion, cohesion and equality
How would you design the city of the future? This question really piqued my interest, especially appealing to my sociopolitical side. My vision includes the following: It is the antithesis of an Orwellian 1984-type landscape. Instead, I’d strive to create a proverbial utopia. A dystopian utopia. Trigger warning – Highly naive and possible too saccharine…

Like mother, like daughter.
Where did your name come from? I’m the 8th child of 10 children, the 4th girl of six sisters. Apparently when I was born my mum and dad loved my rosy cheeky , button nose and cherub lips. I actually was named after my mum (yeah confusing growing up trying to determine whether it me…
