So it’s 2013. As always, am looking forward to a new year. New years are like new books – there is a fresh smell, fresh energy, hope and new motivations. Continue reading Happy New Year

Friendships and High Tea
Since I turned forty, I have gradually learned the joy of non-familial female friendship. Working from a home-based business can get isolating. And as much as I enjoy and get satisfaction from my relationship with partner (my life as well as work partner), a person needs a bit of outside stimulation. And in my world, something more corporeal rather than online, is needed. Continue reading Friendships and High Tea
A new name
So you may have noticed that the name and the URL of this blog has changed. I originally created it as a bit of a professional landing page, but some of the posts extended to personal posts so I began thinking of a Blog Title that wasn’t my actual name. And it came to me at about 4am yesterday morning. Continue reading A new name
End of year lessons
Some Christmas reflections came to me this year as I was preparing my contribution to our family feast. These ideas might have formed part of a toast or speech if our family were so inclined to give speeches at family dinners. Continue reading End of year lessons
An anti-climactic Christmas morning
So like most folk with kids, for the past 17 years Christmas morning has been a massive ball of anticipation, excitement and joy (and occasionally disappointment).

Movies you must see before you die
A blog post brazenly stolen from Elliot Bledsoe’s 1001 films post, which, from my Wikipedia-ing search comes from one Steven Jay Schneider. I’d like to think this is not so much a braggy post, but a record keeping post. For many of the movies on the list, I think I’ve seen them, but can’t remember. Other’s I can’t recall if I’ve seen the movies or read the books. I hope to update the list, as well as be deliberate in seeking out movies on the list.

I Dreamed A Dream I could sing like Ruthie Henshall
I don’t know Les Mis. All I know is that it’s based on a book by Victor Hugo, that it’s set in France during the French Revolution (I think). But the movie is due out this month and Hugh & Rusty are starring in it. Whether you want to or not, it will be hard not to know about the story soon. Continue reading I Dreamed A Dream I could sing like Ruthie Henshall
A night at The Deadlys
I finally have time to do an update about The Deadly Awards on Tuesday night. As you will know by now, Vernon won the 2012 Deadly Award for Visual Artist of the Year. It was such a great night with a couple of low-lights, but many more highlights.
