Continue reading →: A Real ChristmasA real Christmas doesn’t have to be loud, curated and in-your-face. It doesn’t need an overspend competition on who can rack up debt to pretend they want all the over the top things. It doesn’t need to be religious to be real. And it doesn’t require anyone to push through…

Continue reading →: A safe homeSo far in my life, I’ve met lots of different people. Some had homes growing up that were sanctuaries, places of rest, love, peace, learning. Others had homes that would make you feel like a rat cornered by a 1940s housewife, or like an exhibit in a museum. As an…

Continue reading →: Read the world #2In a world of constant change — from global conflicts to economic downturns, climate change and social tensions — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But I find understanding what’s happening and why it matters to me and my community actually helps me feel more grounded and prepared. I don’t sink…

Continue reading →: New job, new location, almost a new year!I can’t believe it myself, but I’ve changed jobs! I loved my old team, but was offered an exciting new opportunity in a new location and a promotion to boot, so I’ve made the plunge and relocated! I’d like to think this brings me a small step closer to some…

Continue reading →: Promotion or Stability? Choosing between 2 good jobsI was recently offered a new job – one I hadn’t been expecting to be offered, and definitely not this soon. It’s interstate, in a different city and with a different organisation, and a promotion to boot, with my own team to manage, so big changes all around! I’ve sat…

Continue reading →: IUI Attempt #3Recently I had a rather poor experience with my fertility specialist that made me question if I should continue with them or change doctors. I came to the decision that I would give them one more chance – largely because I wanted confirmation it wasn’t just because of my ‘faulty’…

Continue reading →: IUI attempt #2 – and why I might change doctorsAfter my first cycle was cancelled, I decided to try again within a cycle or two. Just like last time I called the clinic on day 1 of my cycle. I had my first blood test on day 9 as day 10 was on the weekend. I went back for…
