Songs of My Life: January 2021
January. 2021. A new year. A new dawning. You had a moment of soul crushing, a brutality that came through for one horrible day. A build up of hate and supremacy and it exploded in an ugly way on January 6, 2021. Domestic terrorists fuelled by lies and hatred stormed Capitol Hill and the world got to see just how ugly and mean Americans can … Continue reading Songs of My Life: January 2021
Australia Day Reflection
This January 26th is my 6th Australia Day, but it’s the first one where I have celebrated it. There wasn’t a reason I didn’t celebrate the others, but to me, it was always just a public holiday. This Australia Day, I am permanent resident and it holds a little different meaning this year. I feel I have permission to celebrate a day that often divides. Brief … Continue reading Australia Day Reflection
A Lie
It was a lie of the most horrid. A lie that led to death. A lie that led to a dirge. A lie that scourged the earth. It was a lie of the heart. A lie of the mind. A deep lie within the soul. A lie of one. Led to the lies of a hundred. A lie of one. Led to the death of … Continue reading A Lie
Maybe I Don’t Want to be a Writer
As I trudge along, writing the novel that I have been working on since at least the year 2000, no joke there, the thought “maybe you really don’t want to be a writer” came to me as I hit a block of text where I have no idea what to write. NO. IDEA. BLANK. EMPTY. The words aren’t vibing. The scene feels stiff and inflexible … Continue reading Maybe I Don’t Want to be a Writer
Quiet Within
If I said I loved you and would move mountains for you, would it even make your heart quiver? Would it shake for a mere moment knowing that someone loved you so much they would do anything for you? I didn’t think it would. It’s not that I don’t love you. I love you with all my heart and my soul. I love you to … Continue reading Quiet Within
Songs of My Life: December 2020
The last month of 2020. Damn, we made it ya’ll! Also, it’s fucking almost another year. I don’t remember where 2020 went. Was I in it? Did I live this madness? I know I did, but I also feel that there are huge chunks of 2020 missing. What did I do in the time of when Australia was in lockdown and restrictions? Was January and February … Continue reading Songs of My Life: December 2020
Songs of My Life: November 2020

Songs of My Life: October 2020
There was no apparent theme for October. There wasn’t even a definite mood…it swung back and forth like a cracked out pendulum. October was what it was…whatever October was. This month I fell in love with Pete Buttigieg and his natural penchant for brilliant one liners and absolute zingers during interviews and at rallies. (Read his book TRUST: America’s Best Chance.) And I found hope … Continue reading Songs of My Life: October 2020
I Have Become
I have become Disenchanted Disenfranchised Disengaged Disappointed Bitter and not better Angry and not softer Consumed by idle chatter Consumed by idle madness I long for a simpler time before Scrolling through Swiping up, left or right Filtering and selfies Where my existence needed no proof To help or hinder the Universe To quieter times when the only chatter in my head was my own … Continue reading I Have Become
You’re Never Wasting Time Finding the Right Way Home
On September 3, 2020 at 9:21am I received the phone call I had been dreaming about for over 8 years. Your permanent resident visa has been granted. GRANTED. I was officially in my forever home: Australia🇦🇺 The weight of the world had been lifted from my shoulders. It was official. Australia is my home. Let me be honest, there was never an option that Australia … Continue reading You’re Never Wasting Time Finding the Right Way Home
