THE POWER OF WORDS

Last week was the first week of school holidays and we had the wonderful opportunity of spending it in Thredbo!  Although we thought it would be a little too early for snow, we actually got to see some right at the top of Mount Kosciuszko.  This is a photo of my hubby and I with […]

ALWAYS GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

Since my life-changing cancer experience, life itself has become so much more magical, and utterly precious to me.  In a way, there is a “pre-cancer me” and “post-cancer me”.  I now try to savour every moment and experience all I can, whereas pre-cancer, I always seemed to be chasing after something better, or bigger, or […]

SHE WHO SPARKLES

The day my family has been waiting for finally arrived on Saturday…my beautiful niece’s wedding.  It was such a wonderful day and so worth the planning, stress and energy that inevitably comes with a wedding.   My niece and new nephew are now in Paris for their honeymoon, with the rest of us only wishing […]

Sometimes life calls for serious foods rather than sweet ones!  Whenever I’m not feeling energetic or am troubled by goings on in the world and simply can’t […]

GENEROSITY: A DIVINE ATTRIBUTE

I was thinking back on my niece’s Kitchen Tea last week, and I recalled how generous people were.  Generous with food, generous with gifts and generous with their love for the bride-to-be.  Generosity is a phenomenon that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!   Photo courtesy of stock.xchng  

JUST DO IT

Spoilt again this week, I was taken to lunch by a friend on one occasion and on another, one of my nieces took me to lunch at a place I’d been wanting to try for ages! Not only was it a blast to catch up with this friend who I hadn’t seen for about 3 […]
