    Four Reasons Why It’s Okay Not to Know it All

    Am I depressed or just exhausted? Learning the difference. 

    Am I depressed or just exhausted? Learning the difference. 

    Just over two weeks ago I flew from Sydney to Paris, caught the fast train to Bordeaux and spent the next 12 days in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. After two more days whirling around Paris to see The Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Musèe de Orsay, Notre Dame and the Gardens […]

    In order for the new to awaken, the old must die

    If you’ve read any of my posts in the past you may already be aware of my journey with mental illness and know that for many years I have managed my life as best as I can when you have a mental illness and have relied on God’s love, healing and help and the support […]

    Ride the wave and plant the forrest

    I’ve learned something important this week about running with inspiration. Sometimes it hits like a tidal wave and as we run to catch the crest of it, we see from a new height. It’s in these moments that we should open up and create because as we do, we tend to birth the most significant […]

This article originally published on Thought Catalog, shares an incredible and descriptive insight into what it feels like to […]

    The Dichotomy of Being a Creative and Planning Ahead

    The Dichotomy of Being a Creative and Planning Ahead

    As it seems pertinent to the fact that it’s the 4th of March, and the year is quite literally marching along at breakneck speed, I thought to share a little strategy I’ve recently come up with. I have followed some awesome bloggers over the past two years, particularly Carrie Smith from Careful Cents and Lacy […]

    Not Every Success Story has the Same Outcome

    You’ve finally hit that magic point. You’ve crossed over that imaginary line that says this is it! Success! Hell yeah! About bloody time too! Everything is going to plan.

    Worldview

    Worldview

      Her worldview was shaped from birth; her internal vision informing her choices, her responses and her direction. She reached for a world in which she desired to live yet saw a world in which she had no place. She succumbed to the inevitable sadness that accompanies broken dreams. His worldview was shaped from birth; […]

    Synapses Firing in 3…2…1

    I tried. I really did. But then my brain started shooting off emails to the rest of my body and before I knew it, my stomach was replying to the morning instructions with growls. Twenty minutes passed and I had fully constructed this post in my mind. Bugger. I’m fully awake now. Sigh.

    What if we’re not all meant to think straight?

    What if we’re not all meant to think straight?

    Are we all meant to think straight? This question came to me this morning while I was trying to have 15 minutes of still and quiet time. The birds were going nuts outside, I had to move from the lounge room to the bedroom as I could hear my lovely neighbours chatting privately and felt […]

    I am a hopeless case – I just can’t write bullshit. I can’t pretend to write stuff that doesn’t touch the heart and pull it out into the light. I can’t devote my energy, time, point of view or ideologies to words that when strung together are ‘just fine’
