April 22nd, 2014

April 17th, 2014
I’m late this week with my post. I’m never late on deadlines. It’s Thursday and I’ve literally had to stop everything I’m doing to write my post. If you know me I rarely ever missed meeting a commitment I’ve made. As I’m driving to work this morning I listed out ...

April 6th, 2014
On Friday night, I saw a fantastic live show at The New Victory Theater, a jewel among the smaller, more intimate theaters, located in the heart of Broadway and Times Square in New York City. “Bello Mania,” is a high-flying, hysterically funny, circus-acrobatics, show starring Bello Nock, a comic daredevil ...

February 25th, 2014
I became one of those mum’s this past weekend. You know the ones that you see in the department store or supermarket, their child throwing a tantrum of a lifetime throwing themselves around the floor. And it shouldn’t have surprised me really but the looks that I got as I ...
A Lesson in Humility: Age Sometimes Doesn’t Matter by Vicky Dal Molin
February 18th, 2014
“Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.” Freud said that. Smart guy…. And something I’ve learnt to have at least some element of truth to it. When I was pregnant with my son I joined a forum for pregnant woman who’s babies ...

February 11th, 2014
Well I certainly wasn’t expecting so much positive feedback that I received from my last post. I’m glad that those that read it and commented positively enjoyed the read. No pressure for this week or anything. And I can certainly assure those that raised it….. there’s no taking the Aussie ...
