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 […]

“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? […]

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?

Even on the crappiest of days, this piece of music – Die Moldau (aka. Vltava) by Bedrich Smetana – never fails to lift my spirits. Today is not a crappy day, by the way. In fact, quite the opposite. The sun is shining! Bees are buzzing! And I felt compelled to share this piece that […]

Here in Melbourne, we’re currently in the thick of a cold, dreary winter. As I write this, the wind howls through a gap in the window and the fire flickers in the background – burning for the fifth day in a row. Winter is traditionally a time for rest and retreat, and with that – […]

Have you ever heard of a Saturn Return? I hadn’t, until I went through a bit of a third-life crisis in my late twenties and started searching for answers. Very quickly, I found them – but in the most unexpected of places. For those of you raising your eyebrows, wondering what the heck I’m talking […]

They say Christmas is the most wonderful time of year and in the thick of Christmas ham, fairy lights, Mariah Carey’s ‘Merry Christmas’ album on repeat and ‘Lovely Actually’ on TV almost daily, I tend to agree. Until it gets to this time of year and the leaves colour and fall, crisp air turns cheeks […]

Let’s be honest – working with me is a pretty streamlined, efficient affair. I don’t call myself a ‘process junkie’ for nothing! One of the first steps in my onboarding process is getting prospective clients to complete an initial Quotation Request form. In this form, I ask: ‘Do you need copywriting, editing or proofreading?’ Pretty […]
