The Move Part II – The Hard Part

Once the contract was signed, and the cooling-off period ended, we launched into the next phase of our journey, the most difficult and potentially most stressful part of the process. Jerome is a planner who likes to organise in a way that is logical and meaningful to him. I consider myself to be very organised […]

The Move Part I – The Decision

Why would I want to document our move?  Isn’t it something a large percentage of the population does with regularity?  What would be special or different about my preparation to move, not just move homes but move states?  I keep hearing a persistent little voice at the back of my head suggesting I do so.  […]

A Funeral Fit for a Queen

The Queen died.  To most people who hear the words ‘The Queen’ the only queen that comes to mind is Queen Elizabeth II, the only queen most of us know and the queen who, according to a friend, managed to reinvent the monarchy, while making it look as if the reinvention was long lived tradition.

Five years of studying A Course in Miracles, commonly referred to as ACIM or The Course in Course circles. One of the main reasons for setting up this website and writing was to share my experiences with the Course, which has changed my life in so many ways, all for the better. This is how […]

Take Me Home

Music and memories are tied so close together. Songs transport us to times in our lives and bring memories flooding back, some good, some bad, some sad. I remember sitting with Mummy in the evenings when the radio program came on.  It might have been a weekly program where they played old favourites.  The theme […]

The Pandemic and Putin – Our Precarious Reality

We started to hear about the virus in January 2020 or so, while the bushfires in Australia were still foremost in our minds and hearts.  While we were still coming to grips with the ferociousness of the fires that wiped out so much of our country and hoping this was the worst 2020 had to […]
