G’day!
It’s winter. The season of cold nights, heaters and fires, cuddly jumpers and hot drinks.
Today, I want to challenge everyone reading this. Your challenge is this: Go through your home and sort out your winter jumpers, parkas, quilts, blankets, doona etc.  Most people will have some of these that they no longer use or don’t have [...]

Hi
With another Anzac Day passed, I want to write about my soldiers and my youngest son.
I attended the Dawn Service this year, as I have for many years past. Yet, this year it was extra significant.
My youngest son, Joshua, rang me the day before Anzac Day. He is 19, and is just finishing his basic training in [...]

G’day
Today’s blog will be a bit personal… and relevant. Summer is now behind us, and winter looms. Winter is traditionally a time of eating warm, filling, comfort food. A time when it doesn’t really matter if we put on a few kilos - those big jumpers and long pants will cover our sins until next summer. WRONG!

Music is Powerful!
Music can affect our moods in dramatic ways. Happy uplifting music can make us smile. Up beat music can make us dance. Sad music can depress us. What a wonderful quick way to change our mood, put on a song with a beat that will make us feel great.
Most of the time, it [...]
