  • Break in through the roof—the great jewel heist

    Have you ever known something so valuable it would be worth breaking through a roof for?

  • Though it has ended, yet, it has just begun…

    Walking through the final days of last year, I felt somewhat grateful. I did not revel in the gladness of seeing a bad year come to an end (though there have been years like that). For me, it had been a satisfying year in accomplishing what I’d set out to complete from the previous year’s resolutions, and I felt quite happy with it. Perhaps I should now take a year off…think again!

  • Jane Eyre and the question: is there such a thing as ‘the one’?

    There seems to be a belief today that the idea of there being a person created to be your other half doesn’t exist: “There are many people out there suited to you and you just have to choose one that you like”. While this may be true and work for many people, I certainly don’t want to ‘throw the baby out with the bath water’ as the saying goes.

  • Up the creek without a paddle

    Many years ago, we visited my parents while holidaying at a small seaside town in Queensland. While there, we spent the afternoon by the bay. We all enjoyed a leisurely spring afternoon swim, and towards sunset, my mum decided to go for a relaxing row in the dinghy by herself.

  • Rogue radio

    Switching the channels on the car radio recently, at a time when most families would be driving their children home from school, my daughter and I were horrified to hear a radio presenter use his platform to laugh at and mock ‘church people’ and jest, suggesting that Jesus was a homosexual with 12 good looking men following him everywhere he went.

  • Stop the clock!

    Following on from my last article entitled Becoming Deliberate, I found myself having many conversations with friends exclaiming how quickly this year is flying by without even a wind sail to hold us back.

  • Becoming deliberate

    Who knows how quickly a week can pass and you haven’t stopped for a breath?

  • Worth waiting for

    A good coffee is worth waiting for. Back in the day (and I won’t tell you when because it will give away my age), instant coffee was a big seller. It was quick and versatile; you could keep it in the cupboard for a few months and even pack it in your picnic bag.

  • Those who hold us up – thoughts on an election campaign

    At the time of writing this, my husband’s Senate campaign has just wrapped up after months of preparation and hard work.

  • Dirty windows—dealing with sin

    At this time of year, the sun sits directly facing our front windows highlighting the dirt that had previously gone un-noticed and reminding me of what my next job is—to clean my windows!
