2025 – I’m almost afraid to look
I’ve seen a meme a few times in the last couple of days that says something like: ‘I don’t want a new year, I’d like a gently used year. Perhaps 2015?’ It does feel like everything has gone to shit lately, the US looks about ready to fall over, and here in Australia it’s not…

Bring on 2024!
I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. I’ve seen enough articles about how they don’t work, and I’ve seen how busy the gym is in January compared to other times of year to know resolutions are often abandoned. Instead, I like to write myself a list of goals that I can work towards in the…

Welcome to 2023!
The last days of 2022 have been really rough – Mum wasn’t well at Christmas and wasn’t able to participate in the family event, plus my back pain issue has been really fared up for some reason. I’m ready to welcome in a new year with hopefully a few less challenges. As usual, I’m setting…

I’m really trying not to expect anything right now…
I tried to write this on New Year’s Day but got distracted by being tired and a bit sore from having a big night. Even now I’m still tired and scatterbrained. When I wrote up this list I saw it’s exactly the same as last year’s. Perhaps it’s not a bad idea to stick to…

The year that was 2020…
I went back to find my new year’s post from earlier this year and boy, did I have no idea what was coming. Wow. Usually at the end of the year I do a little wrap up post, I cover the goals I set in the beginning of the year and how I’ve gone achieving…

Welcome to the Roaring 20s
Let’s start with the age old question of how did it get to 2020? I must not have been looking. Far out! In the first entry of each new year I like to post a list of my goals for the coming year. You can read the review I wrote of the last year and…

Goals for 2019
Last Friday I went to a workshop that I found through Meetup.com. I frequently attend Meetup events that have highly variable outcomes – some have been really great and positive, like one group for artists which was really positive and motivating for several months. Other times, like a board game night I went to recently…

Inspiration and Planning
Today I attended the end of year gathering with my poetry group. We get together in an inspiring place, today it was the National Gallery of Victoria at Federation Square, and we write, if we’re inspired, or sit and ponder, if we’re not inspired. Then we have lunch. I went through the George Baldessin and…

Hello 2018!
What are my goals for 2018?

Welcome to 2017
Firstly, can I just say that 2017 seems like an absurd number for a year. I finished school in 2002 and that felt quite strange but now I’m even older and it’s 2017. It’s not a real number, it’s not a real year. I feel very old. But back to what I was really going…
