Personal Blogger: What’s the point!?
Often enough I am asked what my blog is about, what I write about and why. Often I say stuff and just because. But there really isn’t a point, I guess. no reason why. No purpose. Nothing. It is a log of my life. Photos and things I like. Stories and rants. Links and love.…

She may be lost
She may be wandering and wondering forever. A horrible thought, lonely, alone, stuck. She may be wandering forever. She calls and stops. She was once there. A friend, around. Amidst the fog. Around. I wish her well. I hate her thoughts. She may be wondering forever. Time passes. Days like minutes. Years too. Counting down, counting…

I don’t know YOU don’t know.
A thing I have learnt in the past year or two is that you don’t know what you haven’t experienced for yourself. You just don’t know until you know. I didn’t know, what it was like. Until I knew. Until it was carved onto me. And I can see it, see it in others. They don’t know.…

The moment is NOW

When My Family stickers go bad?
I was following a car with My Family stickers today. I’m sure you can imagine it. Those stupid things are everywhere. But just in case that is a sample above.

This week I attended the funeral of a man who I have known since I was 12. He was my singing teacher. And he and his wife have always been great to me. And as I sat there I realised just how long it had been since I saw them. Twelve, eighteen months at least.…

When big stuff happens, it is hard not to feel small… BUT
My town – A view from the top In blogland, as in life, stuff happens. And lately there have been some heart breakers. I won’t mention names because I don’t want to minimise anyones ‘thing’ by pitting it against someone else’s. But fair to say that life is hard, sometimes. And in my town,…

I iPhone a lot!
Today a small realisation hit. I spend an awful lot of time on my phone. Checking my phone, emails, web pages, facebook, twitter and skype… A lot of time. Usually I am waiting. Sometimes I am walking. And recently the worst of the habits has started to take hold, while driving. I joked once that…

Next time I get married…
I’m wearing this… And my bridesmaids are wearing that. And it will small and intimate and fun. To be completely honest I didn’t have much fun at all at our wedding. It was beautiful, and I felt the love and support of my family and friends, all fifty million of them. But when I think…

The roller coaster that is personal blogging…
The other day as I started to tell another personal blogger how to live her life {sigh. yes, I really did that. And via twitter of course} I was thinking how funny it is to open your world as a personal blogger. To share yourself and your experiences. To discuss issues and request solutions to your biggest {and often…
