We all think ‘I don’t have enough time’ or ‘I don’t have enough hours in the day’ but it’s pretty damn amazing at how much time one does have once they stop doom scrolling. To prove myself wrong, I plotted every hour of the day and assigned it a job. The work hours were easy to assign, so were the training hours and the gym … Continue reading I’m Tired Ya’ll
It’s been a while since I’ve poured out my thoughts here so figured no time like the present. Forgive the typos, the F key on my laptop is broken and sticks and sometimes doesn’t work at all. Perhaps a metaphor for life. Perhaps not. Who knows to be honest. This piece will be all over the place…as the title says, a smorgasbord if you will. … Continue reading A Smorgasbord
Wow, I haven’t written anything here since March. Let’s catch up. I’m now 224 days alcohol free. It’s been a great journey and one I have loved learning from.

After the 30 Days clean in March, I realised I needed … Continue reading Let’s Catch Up

It’s time to move out and to continuing growing up. Literally and figuratively. This is my last Saturday in my very first apartment here in Sydney. I’ve lived in an Art Deco building built in the 1930s for 4 years now. The apartment has been nothing but good to me. Giving me the sanctuary I needed from the world outside when needed, entertaining me with … Continue reading Moving Out and Growing Up
Sundays are fast becoming my favorite day of the week. Once dreaded as the “it’s almost Monday day” it’s now the space between the week ending and another week starting. The space where I am most relaxed. Sundays have become my soul recovery day. Up for a coffee or tea, back in bed and more than likely back to sleep for another hour or so … Continue reading Sundays: The Space Between
It’s funny how life works out. Sometimes you jump and the Universe catches you. Sometimes you jump and you fall on your face, but you get up, dust yourself off and try (or jump) again and the Universe catches you.
