Accounting for my life

I love my accountant. How many people can say that? Or would say that? Those are four words I can’t even imagine myself saying a few months ago. But then I found my accountant. I found her through serendipity. Much like my last blog post, only different circumstances. Anyway, how I met her isn’t as... Continue Reading →

Serendipity

Of all the states and territories in Australia, Tasmania is the only one I haven't visited...until now. I was invited to speak at a healthcare conference in Hobart this weekend. I was excited to do it as it's a new healthcare segment for me and it is one ripe with possibilities of ways I could... Continue Reading →

Not giving a F*#k

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to read. I am always being asked by people what I’m reading and what I would recommend. My friend Jodie always laughs because I usually have at least 5 books that I’m reading at any one time. She says she can barely manage reading one at a... Continue Reading →

Finding Magic

It’s been a couple of weeks since the latest Harry Potter book came out. In that time both of my children have read it and pronounced it good (although not as good as the originals). I haven’t read it yet and I’m not sure I want to. I read every other Harry Potter book as... Continue Reading →

Less Doing, More Being

Why is it that humans put such a premium on being busy? Ask anyone these days how they are and the first thing they say is “oh, I’m so busy”. Like busy-ness is a badge of honour. And the busier one is, the bigger the badge on your chest, right? It’s funny really when you... Continue Reading →

Hide and Seek

We all played hide and seek when we were kids. It was fun. I remember trying hard not to giggle when my older cousins were trying to find me and I could fit into smaller spaces than them. As a kid, I always used to hide when it came to family gatherings. My mom’s side... Continue Reading →

My tribe

In years gone by, women gathered together to help each other through births, deaths, marriages and other life events. Much of their time together was spent talking whilst doing something else with their hands: cooking, sewing, weaving, minding children. They were members of a tribe that would close ranks on outsiders and support each other.... Continue Reading →

The patchwork quilt of my life

My mom makes the most beautiful patchwork quilts. She is an amazing seamstress and taught herself how to make quilts years ago because it was something she’s passionate about. She now teaches classes and passes on her knowledge to all who are interested and come to her. Mom and I don’t share the same passion... Continue Reading →

Life is an adventure

Adventure – noun – an unusual and exciting or daring experience When I first moved to Sydney in 1993 I planned to be there for a year. A whole year. 52 weeks. 52 weekends. I decided 52 weekends meant 52 adventures. I was 24. Adventure was my middle name. (Actually it’s Ann but I wished... Continue Reading →
