Today is 26 August 2017. Today, my eldest daughter and many of her friends attended university open days around Canberra. It’s that season here in Australia.

I received an email this morning from an old friend. She’s struggling at the moment to find her purpose in life.

Today really is the First Day of the rest of my Life. Yesterday I was married. Today I am not. After two and a half years of separation, my divorce was granted yesterday. Today I woke up realising that I can do anything I want to do. I can be anyone I want to be.... Continue Reading →

Normally this blog is about me. Or really it’s about my journey to get back to believing in myself. I think it’s only fair to write about myself and not try to speak for other people. But today’s post is different. I am often told by women that I am brave. Brave for being true... Continue Reading →
