Lately, I have been a bit absent online. Like so many of you, I was being bombarded with images and messages of doom and gloom and I decided I no longer wanted to be overwhelmed by the negativity. And I have to say I am travelling well, but I know it is not like that […]
Find it hard to take self-care time – me too!!
For the last week I have been doing a deliberate seven days of self-care. Each day I’ve been taking time out to do something just for me, something that feeds my soul. The first four days were pretty easy, we were away so my time was more relaxed and less hectic. I had made myself […]
Let’s be Part of Telling a New Story
For anyone looking from the outside in at NSW Australia, yesterday appeared to be a crazy day. For the first time since the fire warning system came in ten years ago, Sydney was under a Catastrophic Fire Warning. A State of Emergency was declared as bush fires burned and there were predicted high temperatures and […]
Rediscovering Play
Last Friday I was invited to share my passion for Lego Serious Play with the ladies at my Mumthly Start Up Network meeting here in Campbelltown. Let me set the scene for you, eighteen women sitting around tables playing with piles of Lego. What was even more funny to me is that we were in […]
Reframing Ageing
My initial reaction when I looked in the mirror this morning was, oh no I look so old!!!! You might think so what’s the problem, in fact, it might even be your mantra. But what pulled me up this morning was the voice in my head. It was saying “at what point in life did […]
Pity Party Time
I felt ripped off!!! For weeks I had been looking forward to going to a basketry workshop with the lovely Zimmi from Weaving Nature, and now I was laid low with the dreaded lurgy. I drank every potion I could think of. I chewed my manuka honey and vitamin C, however, nothing made a difference. […]

Have you ever wondered what mark you would leave on this earth? What sort of a person do you want to be remembered as? Maybe to you, it doesn’t really matter. On the weekend I was running a Discover YarnBombing workshop followed by a Creative-noon event, a face to face meeting for the creatives who […]
Creative Pathways – A creative voice for everyone
I may have been a little quiet the past couple of months however there has been a lot going on behind the scenes. I have been writing grants, developing new workshops, working on series 2 of Creative Women and lots more. Last night I stood alongside my creative friend Janeen from Neenish Arts, and Skye […]
LEGO® Masters Australia – I want to be like Brickman
Last night along with many Australians I watched LEGO® Masters Australia. With my love of LEGO® and its use in my work, it was a no brainer that I would be watching. I don’t watch reality TV shows normally, as I believe they are cesspits of behaviour that is abusive and bullying. However, in this […]
What Breaks your Heart – This is what breaks mine.
The Awakened Woman – A Guide for Remembering and Igniting your Sacred Dreams written by Dr Tererai Trent is the book that I’m currently reading. I still have a way to go, but this book is holding me captive as I devour its pages. It’s a book that speaks to women’s wisdom, and power. In […]
