Not That Kind of Girl

Everyone (myself included) has been whittering on about Mercury and communication issues. I have been hit with it this week with what seems like a million paper cuts, not deadly but annoying AF! I ordered from one supplier and one of the items that arrived was broken, so they compensated me. Then I noticed that …

7 Generations

I have loved having Lily and Amelia here all week, Amelia changes so much every time I see her. She can now say several words and is so funny. She really loves to be a comedian and if she gets a laugh she will repeat it forever so make sure not to laugh if you …

The Light Bearer of Truth

Time flies by so quickly, I also find that the older one gets, the more it seems to accelerate. I was ill with my stomach for 3 weeks so avoided everyone in case of germ transfer, then Caitlin was having a visit with her dad and brother for a week, and the next thing you …

The Balance

This has been a really hard week for our family. It has not helped that the weather has been stifling hot and that it got up to 30℃ on Monday. Sometimes it was even too hot to sit outside as there was not a breath of wind. It makes me feel lethargic and sludgy. Last …

River of Denial

This week I heard a term which really resonated with me. Once again I cannot remember where I heard it, but the theory is that the reason that we cannot see the future impact of the actions or decisions we make today is due to 'dissociation from our future selves'. So we struggle with visualising …

Overwhelmed by Gratitude

I usually do not really suffer with jet-lag but this trip it has really hit me hard. Possibly it is because I started a new contract the day after we returned home? I have had to nap or at least rest a bit each afternoon as I have not been sleeping well at night, I …

End of an Era & Beginning of a Friendship

This week has been chaos, some things were fabulous and some were challenging. It was my last week of work on the project I have been a Data Architect on for several years. I love this team and have learned so much. I had a Data Quality report to deliver which meant developing the code …

Microaggressions & Strong Connections

This has been a week huntyyyy! Norm only returned from Qatar on Monday so I was on my own last weekend. I was so tired that I just hibernated. I was harbouring a lot of anxiety and stress about the phone call from HR the Friday afternoon advising my contract ends at the end of …

Gardening Memories: A Grandmother’s Legacy

One of my key memories with my Grandmother is the time we spent in the garden. Or 'the yard' as she called it, despite her house sitting on 20 acres of land. My Grandmother Rena was full of superstitions and 'old wives tales' and I wish I had taken the time to write them all …

Nurturing Touch & Sound

Do you ever have one of those days that just feels blissfully perfect from start to end? I did last Saturday. First of all the weather was clear so I could pray to the 7 Directions outside on my hill when I woke up. Then I attended our women's group from 9:00 until 12:30 and …
