How to focus on what you actually want to achieve
Or my alternative title to this post….here’s a few F words to start the New Year off with a bang! It’s not the words you may immediately think of, but it just so happens that most of my words below start with F! Instead of making (and ultimately breaking) resolutions for the New Year, I’ve joined a growing tribe of people…

Sizzling at 60 – Meet Sue!
Recently I have enjoyed hosting a few guests on my blog as part of my People of Interest feature where I share interesting people with you my interesting readers.

What makes the delightful Birthday Girl interesting?
It’s time to hear from the Birthday Girl – yes that would be me! I’ve enjoyed featuring lots of interesting people here in my series of interesting people but as today is a very special day for me, I have decided to ask myself the 10 questions I usually ask my guest hosts to answer.

Layers of Life
Life is like an onion: you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep. I am probably cheating a bit here by not sharing one of my own photos for this week’s photo challenge, instead I am sharing an old photo of my beautiful parents in the bloom of their life. Why? I am reminded of…
That feeling of déjà vu
It hit me as I walked down the steps and across the tarmac. That feeling of déjà vu. I started remembering all the times I’d arrived at this same airport, in my eyes it hasn’t changed much over the past 40 or so years. I can’t even begin to add up the number of times I’ve flown in or out…
I DID it – my way!
Run Melbourne 2017 Last week I wrote a post about my upcoming Run Melbourne 2017 event – I CAN do this – and I am pleased to say not only did I do it, I did really well! This is a quote from my post last week: I’m not fast, I’m not stylish, I tend to run a bit heavy, I’m sometimes…
Travel Loving Parents
