For now- please go to this weblink and click the "Gallery" button for a sneak peek! Soon you will be able to view the art works online on a Gallery Webpage,( a small number are being offered for sale by the artists -but most are display only as a unique and powerful opportunity for these artists and their passionate voices to be SEEN).

Zoe Rosenberg stands against the powerful monster of the established norms. And predictably, the masses bay mindlessly for blood.As usual. Without thought. Without question, the pack lurching from high profile case to high profile case, slobbering and slavering the same ignorant rhetoric. .Safety in numbers, stay in the pack, regurgitate the attention grabbing word vomit that gets back slaps and moronic laughter.

Today I once again had the privilege of working with a group of women, to create powerful narrative art pieces as part of my “SEE My Voice Art Project”. “SEE My Voice” aims to give women an opportunity to have their voices SEEN. To share their messages through visual story-telling, painting the silenced and unheard into form that cannot be ignored.

Thats a wrap Its been a busy day and I didnt get time to write the final post- I will have to do it tomorrow. Did run 10.65km. Did complete a study task. Practiced sudoku Attended a network meeting And got out for a couple of walks.

Final Unit and Sudoku It was a busy day with final day of the current womens group and then assessments for WHS Diploma! All assignments are uploaded, assessments completed, exams and quiz done. While waiting to see if I've passed - its onto the final Unit! Having got tangled up in the web of Sudoku yesterday, the perfect way to relax seemed to be to 'do a puzzle for half an hour".

Final steps Well here we are in the last days of the project... I have been focused on getting ready for assessments tomorrow and aiming to finish Diploma of WHS this month if possible. There isn't a lot of extra things to talk about, except still taking steps towards the Summer Art Event ' See my Voice" , with women continuing to prepare sketches and start on canvas art works for display. That's really rewarding to witness. Being a part of a journey of exploring and finding a voice for public view. Extraordinary.

Afternoon Nap In the final days of this 100 days- I was so tired this afternoonI had an hours nap! We were late going out for morning run and it was hot. By the time we got to the 5km mark I was really wanting a drink of water! Still we pushed bravely on and completed 10.5km. I was really hot and tired though- I used to be able to run 15km or more in hot weather with little or no water and not really feel bothered.

Painting in the Park, Presentation Pack Study etc I am sitting here blasting "Sorry i'm late" by Røry through headphones while I determinedly go through 6 presentations and 6 Task bundles for two WHS Units. Everything is done, I am just checking for any small edits I may have missed in the first few checks. My son found it amusing. I rarely listen to music but this is to help me not to get distracted or zone out.

Home stretch We ran 10km today and another 60 walking lunges. Finished up last parts of some assessment tasks and started preparing assessment presentations for next week. It finally feels like the final study home stretch for the WHS Diploma and it cant come quick enough now! After Tuesday I will have a few days of finishing up documents and submitting tasks and then it will be onto the final unit!

Feeling a bit ick First time in the 100 days that Ive felt unwell. We did run today but I was definitely struggling with it and we cut it short at about 6.5km. Only did 60 walking lunges. Felt a bit sick later in the evening and calling it a day- see what tomorrow brings! Other than that- it was a busy day of work and study!

Settling down Its been a busy few months. Im taking a few days to rest and refocus. I have exams coming up for WHS Diploma so I will be doing that and not a lot else for next week. I will be putting up a couple of meditations- they are recorded and will be uploaded to Youtube when they are edited.

On Day 92 of my 100 Days to Live journey I feel tired.... but non-the-less achieved a 10.5 km run, reached 12 kg weight loss and and pleased with acceptance into Vegan Australia’s Health Practitioner listing. And along side these varied happy moments - I am inspired by my brave dog Juno and her incredible resilience. Moving Forward with Strength…

About this Meditation ; Welcome to a peaceful, heart-healing guided meditation — “Healing Through Art.” In this gentle creative journey, you’ll imagine entering a beautiful art studio filled with magazines, photographs, feathers, leaves, and flowers. You’ll be guided to create a “memory holding board” — a symbolic vision board to hold your worries, fears, and emotional pain so you can finally let them go.

Dog Days and Video editing Today our lovely Juno collapsed. She is ok tonight, but the collapse was sudden and unexpected. Its been over a year now since her cancer diagnosis and she has been fighting so bravely. Her Vet is amazed by her strength, courage and resilience. Today she was happy, playing and had just had a snack. Suddenly she fell sideways, crashed into a door, staggered in a circle and collapsed on her side.

Keep on swimming Here we are in the final 10 days. 100 days is a significant chunk of time! This final stretch seems to have meandered along for ages. Today was a bit challenging as I was working on finalising Grant application for the new Arts Project. I often underestimate the sheer volume of time it actually takes to complete these sort of tasks.

The final countdown I went out to listen to an independent music artist play a solo gig last night - and thus didn't get time to write day 88! She was amazing by the way- touring quietly around setting up her own little sound outfit, carting around a few boxes of merch. Standing there in front of us all with her guitar, sharing an eclectic range of fantastic original work sung with a raw passion and a stunningly gifted voice.

Rebuilding If you missed yesterdays post- here it is summarised as it leads into todays reflections..... some mused during todays 10km run....165 walking lunges and monkey bar swings... The Courage to Be Real: Breaking Out of the Boxes (Yesterday's post reminder- down to the Yellow box below) So much has happened during this 100-day journey.When I began, I imagined I’d be documenting weight loss and fitness goals — charting progress, noting routines, celebrating achievements.

Finding your niche So much has happened on this 100 day journey. I expected simply to document weight loss and fitness plans. But this project- in fact this whole year has been about finding a lot more than ideal weight and moving for strength and endurance. Ive written previously about the distortion of the word professional and what it means in various settings and to different people - and my disgust at its misuse and hijacking for power and control, greed and manipulation.

Missed a day! Day 85 – Becoming the Lighthouse I’ve tried to keep a daily log of how things have unfolded during this 100-day project. But last night I was tired, went to bed early, and left the huge list of to-dos partly undone — so Day 84 missed out. Today, we ran 10 km and I determinedly completed 150 walking lunges.

Filling the Giving Cup Today started and ended with conflicting feelings. I woke up feeling tired and reluctant to do exercises- but I did them anyway. Then I reflected deeper... Creating a Sanctuary for Vegans: Courage, Care, and Anxiety I’ve been considering starting a public Facebook page dedicated to vegan therapy and sanctuary — a place to offer emotional support, healing, and calm for vegans who often feel isolated or overwhelmed.

Feel the fear ....and? Lighting a Beacon: The Island of Kindness In the last few days, as I work on several community projects..... (planning and promoting the planned Summer Art Show event and working on the Grant application, building partnerships, relationships and networks... (Tickets here) Working on liaision and promotion and national connections for the Magpie Detectives project for the new Lolly McJolly Book...

Running and Dreaming I dream of Best Life and a Better World. The Best Life is my Responsibility. The Better World is my Obligation. I ran 8.5km today. I walked. I did stretches and I ate well. There is so much to do and so little time. Yet somewhere in the busy push and battle forward- there has to be rest.

Thats a lot of days! Its the final 1/5 of the project! We missed our run today but I did get all the usual exercises done. Super busy day with networking and promotion activities. Which is good but tiring. Also updated website with Vegan page including resources and therapy options as well as a community project. 🌿 Island of Kindness Community Book Project…

A Safe Island of Kindness — A New Online Sanctuary for Vegans & Animal Rights Advocates Finding focus Today was a busy and tiring day. As I contemplated the projects and tasks and both what I have accomplished and the myriad of challenges and barriers. I realised there is an important task which I am uniquely placed to do and another project to be done.

Home stretch and 10km Ran 10km today, was steady and fairly comfortable. Also managed 122 walking lunges. Went 4x across the monkey bars. Morning exercises noticably easier and much more flexible. Weight 59 kilo. 3/4 of the way to the end of this 100 day project. Progress is gradual but steady. So many other interesting and exciting projects underway at the moment too.
