Jane sent me this book. During most of the whiney phone conversations I’ve had with her since, she’s asked if I’ve read it. All my griefs that I regularly share with her were covered by the book. She was correct in recommending it to me. It was good for me. A woman I work with who lived in […]

I’ve realised through all my reading about the upcoming eclipse and past eclipses, that although sometimes it is sudden and a bit upsetting at the time, the changes they have brought have been improvements. In hindsight (such a benefit) each one has made my life change, yet for the better. I don’t think I have ever […]

I just love the lyrics of this song. My son agrees but reckons the beat is a little repetitive “Feels like I’m getting verbally ear bashed”. I don’t mind the sound myself.
I went to the supermarket after work and bumped into a number of people. One of the teachers I saw had very positive […]

Kate (my sister) and I went to the ‘Mind, Body and Spirit’ Festival in Melbourne yesterday. I was dissappointed. It hasn’t changed from previous visits, but I have. In fact it felt weird to me that it was so much the same as it always is. I hoped for new things, new ways but no, […]

My mentor, I hadn’t seen for a year or so, dropped in […]

When my kids were in Primary school, one of them, I’m not naming names, came home from school with the latest joke! S/he slapped my face (ever so lightly and playfully) and then said “Forget it, it’s in the past now”. We both laughed and went out into the world to find others to play the […]

Yesterday at school the staff had a retreat day. We went to a place out of town in the hills. A Sister from the Marist order came to speak to us and draw our attention to the big picture. She asked some great questions and we recalled our intentions as Marist teachers. Our school motto that I […]

I can’t believe my son is 18. I lay in bed last night wondering where all the years had gone and what time he was going to get home! He went out for drinks with his friends after celebrating with the family. I decided that even though he is an adult, I could still send […]
