Yep, it’s less than a week until my birthday. I have revived my childhood habit of counting down the days. Well I’ve been doing it most of my life to be honest but I’ve just not been putting it out there (never had the internet then!). I know most people are counting down to Christmas, […]

I had a browse through my wordpress stats the other day. I was surprised to find the most common search terms people used to find my blog were ‘pomegranate’ and ‘mosaic’. I used to be constantly looking at my stats. I had a couple of different places to go to measure and weigh up what […]

I’m not sure when Man Week started, but I spent this morning reading some great blog posts that are on the page I linked to. There have been programs on Triple J addressing a variety of topics about ‘being a man’. The reflections from men on their father/son relationships and manhood in general were gutsy. […]

Letting go,  working out where I want to be. I was inspired by a post that Miscellaneous Mum featured a little while back, Okay, Fine, Dammit: Because It Needs […]

I am reflecting on what I have achieved this year. December 2007 seems like a lifetime ago. It has been a pretty full year for me and an enjoyable one mostly.
We’ve got through Tom’s last year of going to school and now my work is done in child rearing. Now I’m a spectator in my […]

Things in my world are much improved today. After I blogged last night, I began to have a string of empowering realisations about what was working in my life right now and I felt better almost immediately. I nearly posted again to update but was too busy journalling it all in my private journal, because […]

This weekend I haven’t had the usual house of young people. I’ve caught up with a few people, yet relatively speaking it’s been kind of quiet for me. I’m wondering how it’s going to be next year. It’s highly likely that Tom will move away. It’s what I would want for him. I moved out […]
