Slipping

March 19, 2013

The year after Tannah was born was the hardest year of my life. PTSD from the birth and PND that I refused to let anyone in on. I spent a year treading water with bricks on my feet. I managed to fool everyone into thinking that I was OK. Only I knew about the sobbing every day [...]

Odd One Out

February 7, 2013

    Oh I’ve written this self indulgent wank of a post a few times and deleted it. But I’ve decided to press on.   I have always felt that I have never quite fit in anywhere. I get that I’m a bit odd and mostly I’m OK with that. In fact I quite like who I am and have [...]

New

January 11, 2013

    I’m still around. I’ve watched a new year roll in, filled with promise and positively bursting with change. I turned a whole year older. 34 years since my Mum’s waters broke all over a chair in an expensive French restaurant at The Rocks in Sydney (true story).   Something about this New Year’s and [...]

Flawed

November 27, 2012

  I have just finished watching an episode of America In Primetime on SBS about women in television.

Oceans apart

October 22, 2012

  We’re back. Our week at the beach is over and it’s back to reality. We spent 7 glorious days with my family in the coastal town of Forster, NSW where my Mum grew up and I spent most of my own childhood holidays. It’s a long drive. Almost 14 hours in the car, not [...]

Beautiful

October 8, 2012

“It was one of those days when it’s a minute away from snowing and there’s this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. Right? And this bag was just dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. That’s the day I realized that there was [...]

A Year.

September 28, 2012

  This selfie of me and the big kiddos was taken about a year ago. I’ve changed a lot in these last 12 months. The woman in that photo has gone through some major inward turmoil and come out the other side. Nothing that is really visible to the outside world, but so much in [...]
