It's not one of my favourite tasks. Not by a long shot. But it has to be done. At least, if I want to eat, that is! I'm talking about cooking, of course. A girl's gotta eat. And until I start making a

It's funny how I love clouds so much and yet I rarely write posts about them. Maybe because I have so many things I want to say on such a wide variety of topics, I just never seem to get to them. Yet,

I finally relented to learning how to use AI. It started with creating an account early this year so I could ask for a picture to be made that I had seen in a vision. Then I ignored it again for a while.

Cold, lovely and still dark, it was 5:45 am when we left the house this morning to do a lap around our local parkrun course. We've been on the set up team since the event began a couple of years ago and

It started the moment I entered the bush reserve near our house. I saw a lady I recognised walking slowly down the hill towards me holding her German Shepherd close to her. She usually would say no more

When I was 27, I came back from a trip to South East Asia and quickly realised something was wrong. I had picked up a tummy bug that made my life very difficult for many years to come. Having previously

I was walking home after a morning jog and I saw them in the middle of the road. Again. Plovers aren't known for their intelligence. Swooping? Yes. Loud calling when all else is quiet? Yes. Skinny legs?

I remember it well. I was 23, and I had just returned home from my first-ever backpacking trip. I'd spent 2 months meandering through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos as a solo traveller who wanted

There's a quote that says something like, "The little things are the big things." Have you heard it before? This is what comes to mind when I think about this prompt from the Silver Bloggers

More than a decade ago a very wise, spiritually inclined, older woman I know suggested that when animals show up in my life, to treat it as a sign and look up their specific meaning. Having been raised

Born out of a scarcity mindset, I have often found myself buying clothes that haven't quite fit right because they were cheap and I liked the look of them. And due to that same scarcity, coupled with a

Have you ever seen one of these before? Do you know what it is? This is a menstrual cup. It's made of medical-grade silicone. It's soft and flexible and designed to be inserted inside the vagina in order

This was so much harder than she'd ever imagined.

It all started with a prompt. She asked a question and I found myself pondering, at length, my answer to this question. The question was about what thing I would want to change about myself. Because everyone

As a long-time parkrun tourist in Australia, extending my travelling adventures overseas just made sense. Since Brad loves exploring the world just as much as I do, and since we'd prefer to spend our play

We flew from Copenhagen to Bristol. It was great to fly into a tiny airport instead of one of London's. We picked up our car rental and the inbuilt GPS, linked to Google Maps, quickly directed us onto

Same same but different!

The Danish are in love with their bread and dairy. It was a challenge to find food as someone who eats very little gluten and dairy! So when I found The Social Brew in the city centre I was stoked. So

"Fifty six", he said with the bored tone of voice of someone who has to repeatedly serve coffee to an ever-changing crowd of people. I wasn't sure how much that was in Aussie Dollars, I just

We arrived on the other side of the world about a day after leaving Brisbane. While I managed to get a few hours of sleep, in chunks (thanks to a sleep meditation that was available on the plane's
