Their Sacrifice is Not Forgotten Just outside the window where I oft curl up at Torquay Marina (literally across the road from where I am staying) and work, write, read and enjoy a vino is a D-Day memorial. What warms my heart each and every time I am there is that without fail, someone stops to …
I love my offices..! Over the past week or so I have been really ramping up my physio and both today and yesterday even felt up to going for a walk around Torquay – literally ‘around’ – along the waterfront. OK, so every step hurts quite significantly, but I don’t care – just being mobile …
Facebook, I am breaking up with you… Last night I made the decision to say “Farewell to Facebook”. The response from friends and those who follow my journey was wonderful and very heart-warming, and there was also an element of “if you are not on Facebook, you do not exist!” In essence, nothing will change – …

Over the past months I have been tracing my ancestry – and what I have discovered actually revealed more about who I am, how I view the world and interact within it than I ever expected… Growing up in a seaside mining town in working class suburban Australia, I never felt like I belonged anywhere or to anyone. My …

Hmmm… (play deep thinking contemplation music) Imagination + Memory = Reality. Think about it… Two people can be in the same time and place together yet remember the event completely differently – they use their imagination upon their memory to create a scenario that fits with their view of their reality… Two people can drive …
LOL! This morning I awoke and my phone said it was 4:18am – although the clock in the room said it was 7:35am… I checked my emails on my phone and the last email that had arrived did so at 4:17am… So, I thought I would consult with my iPad that was also beside the …

I don’t know about you, but when I’m feeling less than my bright-eyed, bushy-tailed self, rather than talk about it – which only usually makes me feel worse and puts a downer on the day of the poor soul with whom I decided to share my misery – I tend to closet myself away either …

The ‘Hashtag 101 – Hashtag Basics for Non-Geeks with a special Section for Writers‘ has just become a #1 bestseller on Amazon – but that’s not why I’m excited… I wanted to prove to my students that without ANY paid promotion and without promoting it to an email list, that if you follow the steps, …
