I am a GREAT sleeper. I can sleep through all versions of booms, crashes and thunders. And I can sleep just about ANYWHERE. This is not an admittance in any way that I ‘sleep around’… mind out of the gutter people. It’s that I can do so anywhere. Your uncomfortable chair no one ever sits on? Let […]

Buh-bye 2022. Hello gorgeous! THAT’S YOU 2023. Are you listening? I know you are oft depicted as a naked baby with a beauty queen sash, but please tell me you are a Mozart listening babe, able to read at a doctoral level and can brilliantly intuit the good guys from the bad. Are you a

It’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month! I’ve been aware of breasts ever since I eyeballed those beauties in my cousins’ Playboy magazines.

I like to read. A lot. Always have. I vividly recall early visits to the library and the hushed sensation of much anticipatory delight.

It’s that time again. Time to get to it. TIME TO GET A MOVE ON. TIME TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. CHOWTIME. DINNERTIME. OH, IT’S SUP-SUP-SUPPERTIME! With that in mind, I quickly break open the fridge and eyeball every nook-and-cranny in search of a tasty meal. Peering in, I anticipate imagine(cross my fingers) that a fully prepared entrée
As 2021 stumbles to an end and we head towards the hoopla of counting down to the New Year I think it best that I have a little chat with the fast approaching year ahead. Deep breath. So 2022… how ya feelin’? I can only imagine the pressure you are under – being forced
The other day I got to thinking about words consisting of just four little letters. I came up with many, and then some, words that are pleasing to the ear. Words like: hope and home, baby, hero, kind, dear, idea, epic, love, soul…. all imparting warm fuzzies and admiration. Likewise, it only takes a quartet

Rehearsal had come to an end (we thought) – the exertion evident in our sweaty productive fatigue – when we were asked to be seated for some group dynamics theatre “games”. One by one we went round the circle, told to describe each other’s character traits by way of a chosen flower. Naturally I have
