I found a letter from my fifteen year old self the other day when reading through my old notebooks. Letters you write to your future self are cute and funny when from a young child; you can smile and shake your head at how silly your younger self was, even the spelling mistakes can evoke...Read More
When was the last time you were rejected? Rejection comes in all different shapes and sizes. Through a text, an email, word of mouth, or a letter perhaps. Through a polite “thanks, but no thanks” sugar coated speech, a lack of invitation or that sense of not really fitting in. Rejection is a card that...Read More
I got in my car this morning, as I do every morning, fired up the engine, ensured my heated seats were on and switched the radio station to Kiss FM. It’s my morning routine, this and systematically checking my phone at every red light along the way. I’m not sure what exactly I’m checking for...Read More
When I was living in Sydney in 2004, I signed up for a Nike Women’s 5K and there in started my obsession with running. I started to get fit, lose my post-uni weight and created a training plan to motivate myself. However, I found sometimes it could be a lonely pursuit having no friends who ran,...Read More

Going wheat free is kind of something I never thought I’d do. Not for any other reason than the fact that gluten-free diets started to become a fashion statement in 2015 (not for everyone of course, but it was starting to be glamorised a little too much by celebs for my liking) and I didn’t...Read More
When I tell people what I do for a living it is normally met with one of two reactions. Either they come over all dreamy and start waxing poetic about how whimsical it is that my business is in words or they question if being a writer is an actual job at all. I’m not...Read More
“You don’t look like you should be short!” A mild acquaintance once said to me during a casual conversation. We were in college, and I was free of the near constant bullying that I’d gone through in secondary school. My battered and broken self-esteem was finally in an environment where it was given the chance...Read More
