Linky Blog – Brave
Linking up with Fi from My Mummy Daze for Stories of Me. This weeks Topic – Brave. When I was a little girl, about 10 or so I think, I remember writing a poem. I still have it, in a box in storage, but one line from it (sort of from memory) reads “sitting inside, looking through my bedroom window. All my friends windows are bright and sparkly, but mine is frosted. Opaque. Smeared in dirt with cracks that I cannot stop from spreading” Or something like that anyway. You see, my Mum has been sick as long as I can remember...
Linky Blog – First Day
Linking up with Fi from My Mummy Daze for Stories of Me. This weeks Topic – First Day. Deviating from the comical whimsy for a glimpse into a window of my life before Point Five came along. My First Day after my (ex) husband left. The story of how we got to that day is a long and windy one, but it was in Ayers Rock where we were living and working that we decided to end our three year marriage. Somehow we had managed to get right back to where we were 18 months earlier, when...
Linky Blog – I Heart my Body
Linking up with We Heart Life to celebrate our own body love. All my life I have always been slender. “Aren’t you skinny??” would be one of the first things people would say about me, to me. I never knew how to react. I guess it was a compliment but sometimes there was a hint of a sneer, an unasked question of my health, an insinuation that perhaps I should be eating more. I have never had an eating disorder, never purged or vomited. Never even crossed mine or my parents mind – I just had a fast...

Linky Blog – Advice to My Sons.
This blog is written with inspiration from The Things I Could Tell You Blog – cheers Melissa for taking me on a different tangent and making me think about the kind of boys I want to raise 🙂 This week’s prompt: “If you could only give your children one piece of advice, what would it be?” Source: via Melissa on Pinterest The quality that made me fall in love with my husband is his steadfast integrity, in his profession, his relationships with his peers and foes and also with his loved ones. Integrity makes a man. Without it, you will never succeed, not fully,...
