Stuck in the Slow Lane

March 5th, 2010 · No Comments

Every time we go to the airport we are too early and have time to kill. This time we left a little later and got caught up in traffic. It was stressful! I take my hat off to people who travel in the city. I nearly stacked into the back of a car that seemed […]

Braces

March 3rd, 2010 · No Comments

Tom is home frequently to get his braces attended to. I didn’t want him to get braces, but now I am glad because they mean I see my son more than I would have. He’s been promoted since the last trip to a ‘workplace trainer’, which means he’ll be doing some extra study at his […]

Study… what was I thinking?

March 1st, 2010 · No Comments

I haven’t studied at Uni since the 90s. I just logged into the CSU site and that overwhelmed feeling is coming back to me. I’m not sure I really want to do this. Feels like I’m just about to go into labour with my second child and I’m remembering what it’s about and kicking myself. […]

This full moon finds me feeling quite hopeful and positive. Going back to work wasn’t as stressful as I’d anticipated. I feel calm about it. There is plenty to learn and I like that. I enjoy not knowing, it keeps me interested:-) I’ve been warmly welcomed by the staff […]

Pause

January 19th, 2010 · 2 Comments

I wish I could press pause on the holidays. I want the time to last longer. There is so much I am just beginning to get into after unwinding, celebrating, tripping off to Sydney and now the holidays have shrivelled up and there’s only a week left. How did that happen?
I am listening to an […]

2010 the start…

January 3rd, 2010 · No Comments

My year has began well. I have rearranged my furniture and cleaned the house. It feels more spacious. I have removed some clutter. There is always more to let go of. I noticed yesterday how I just move things that have no value to other places. I want to rid myself of it. I really love […]

The Jolly Blur that has been this week

December 25th, 2009 · 1 Comment

It’s hard to believe it’s less than a week since Asha’s 21st. What a packed week I’ve had! It’s all been lovely and I have seen most of the people I love this week. I miss Kate and Tom today, but had Tom here this time last week for the weekend, which almost makes up […]

School finished for 2009

December 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Today we had our breakup for school. We had breakfast together, a liturgy and then a lunch. At last! This school year is over. My office is empty at the junior campus. I think I’ve got everything completed there.
So this first day of the six weeks ahead is mine at last. When I got home […]

New Moon in Scorpio - Tuesday 17th November 2009

November 16th, 2009 · No Comments

The moon is new in the early am of tomorrow. Lynda Hill’s Sabian Symbols: An X-Ray Diagnosis  explains all the things going on in the skies and the energy surrounding it. I’m hoping for that understanding and deeper insight. I just looked over my last months new moon goals… they can stay in place, I have […]

Happy Days

November 14th, 2009 · 2 Comments

My son came home for the weekend last night. He just gave me a hug and said “I love waking up here”. I can’t express how good that feels to me. I miss him so much that I can’t think about it anymore when he is away. When he is here it is a joy. […]
