Well well, it’s been almost seven months and I’m still here, still learning and still growing. When I first arrived I have to admit I was impatient; wanting everything to happen at once: the self-discovery, the inevitable growth, the development of character etc. My friend Nichola told me to bide my time, to take it … More Things I’ve Learned About Myself Since Being in Australia
A little poem to keep you all updated; cryptic as it may be, you decide the interpretation. Stuck in a rut with nowhere to go, this is not how the journey should flow. Taking stock and pondering how, it’s going to turn out, the future, the now. Consider ideas, possible plans, to “go with the … More Pay Attention To The Signs
My blogs have been very few and far between of late; mainly due to the fact that I haven’t really done or experienced anything of note. My time in Orange has basically been spent as follows: Gym, Work, Sleep, Repeat. Boring huh? It appears that my ability to settle into a place and go about my … More That Time We Drove To Adelaide.
Christmas is well and truly over. New Year celebrations have been and gone and it’s now the beginning of February; 2015 is in full flow, and surprisingly (or maybe not) I find myself in a place called Orange in central NSW. The decision to come to Orange was not one I made on a whim. … More Life In Technicolour…Or Just Orange.

My first blog of 2015, my first after a two week hiatus and it should be filled with tales of fun and laughter, it should be bursting with forward thinking ideas and be packed with positive possibilities. I should be sat here writing how much I’m looking forward to what the New Year will bring, … More New Year, Same Fears.
I’ve not blogged in a while and quite frankly, I don’t really know where to begin. I suppose my absence can be put down to a number of things: I haven’t had much to blog about, the only thing worth blogging about was keeping me busy, and I’ve kind of suffered a few setbacks over … More Girl, Interrupted
Just over a week ago I posted Part One of my 365 Grateful Project – a challenge which saw me aiming to find one thing every day for a whole year, that I was grateful for. As the year wore on, I found it increasingly difficult to find something completely different from each previous day. … More My 365 Grateful Project: Part Two
At the back end of 2013, I came across the 365 Grateful Project; a project started by Hailey Bartholomew which depicted the extraordinary power of gratitude through photographic journal entries spanning for an entire year. As the course of my life had changed so much throughout 2013 and as I’d made some life-changing decisions about … More My 365 Grateful Project
I began writing this blog post about three months ago. I fiddled around with it and edited it, changing bits and adding bits in here and there. I tried to give an honest account of why I think I’ve failed at relationships so far and why I’m still single, at the ripe old age of … More How To Fail At Relationships And Why I’m Still Single.
