I cut through Lincoln Square on my way to the Creative Non-fiction lecture at Melbourne Uni.

Sally writes cluelessly about decor and is baffled by her new husband and her sister. A mysterious Great Aunt must be located. Oh yes, and can that tempting stranger be ignored? 'I loved every single second I spent reading it' #holiday #reading #mystery. www.amazon.com/Truth-Club-G...

Sunrise, speaks of a windy day ahead....

I didn’t sleep well last night. My head stuck in this awful loop of how crap things seem, and the people to blame for said crap feelings.
Realisation:
Crap feelings are all mine and noone else’s doing.
I’ve wasted my time in this loop when I could have been sleeping.
I’m desperate for coffee now.

Since my beautiful mum's death I have felt a sense of immense love. So, I'm on a journey of exploring what this means, and how this might change my life ... Seeking Spirit

My beautiful mummy passed away on Saturday, aged 91.
My heart hangs heavy with grief, and simultaneously, filled with love, for the most amazing, incredible, brilliant woman who shared 60 years with me.

Tish, that sounds so lovely. Sending your mama lots of healing.

No truer words #booksky

Hahaa, yes, totally!

Oh yes, I loved that version too. I so wanted a garden like that (and that house). What an adventure it was.
