Hello! How are you? Again, it’s been a long time, no speak blog. What’s been happening? And what’s up next? Let’s catch up. A pandemic The last time I blogged, we were 40 days into lockdown. It felt like a looong time. And I thought we were nearly through it when I wrote hopefully about […]

Hello, friends. How are you? It’s been a long time between posts. Almost 21 months, in fact! When I last wrote I was on the cusp of motherhood, preparing for maternity leave and contemplating the next phase of my business. I got some great advice – the crux of which was ‘forget work for a […]

After a long, hard journey, my husband and I are thrilled to be expecting a little bundle of joy in October. To be honest, I still can’t quite believe it despite my ever-expanding tummy (or ‘guts’ as hubby has affectionately started calling me!). We are over-the-moon excited and a little bit terrified. This will be […]

Last week, I made a big mistake. Since launching in early 2015, my site has hovered around the top spots on Google for competitive key phrases like ‘melbourne copywriter’ with hardly any maintenance on my part. That’s the power of great SEO copy (if I do say so myself)! Google is my main source of […]

“There is no path to peace. Peace is the path.” – Gandhi +++ Behind the scenes, 2017 has been the hardest year of my life. It’s been a rollercoaster ride of the highest highs and some despairingly-low lows, and now I find myself here in December feeling pretty shell-shocked. Did that really happen? No, really? […]

At the start of winter every year, I find myself predictably enamoured with cosy evenings in front of the fire, hot chocolate, steaming soup and chilly walks wrapped up in woolly scarves and beanies. Just as predictably, about two months in, I find myself increasingly grumpy and decidedly over it. A top of 12 (feels […]

These days, we live a good portion of our lives online. We update our statuses, upload photos, like, love, even go live – broadcasting real life, right now – no matter what could potentially go wrong (did you see that awkward argument between Novak Djokovic and his wife on Facebook recently? Eeek!). Don’t get me […]

Photo: Kurth Kiln, Gembrook, NYE 2016. +++ I don’t know about you, but for me, 2016 was heavy. On top of all the crazy, sad stuff that happened on a global scale, it was a tumultuous year personally. Loved ones got sick, things didn’t go to plan, I felt a deep and destabilising sense of […]

I’ve written before about being a loud and proud introvert. Actually, make that quiet and proud. 😉 After years of feeling slightly strange, self-conscious and often completely overwhelmed in loud, social settings, I learnt a little about introversion and finally understood a core truth about my make-up. Hey, I realised, this makes sense and I’m […]
