Like every other child, I grew up chanting “”abracadabra” at some point or another, pretending to be the great magician turning my mates into toads! Little did I know how powerfully true the magic of these words was! A variation of the Hebrew phrase ebrah k’dabri, meaning “I create as I speak”, I truly doContinue reading “ebrah k’dabri – I create as I speak”

Living life as I go
A coffee to go in my hand, living my life on the go, as I walk down Flinder Street on my day of work from the office, I find myself reflecting on this life post Covid and the sea of change that’s washed me ashore on this side of the forties. Corporate world hasContinue reading “Living life as I go “

Never have I ever…
I have lived over 4 decades, in more than 15 towns across 3 continents, but it’s been a relatively tame life, with the wildest thing I can think of ever having done being riding topless, shotgun with a friend on a highway for a dare, back when bras were optional at best! So, it wouldContinue reading “Never have I ever…”
Because he is Peter Pan

He didn’t evenContinue reading “Because he is Peter Pan”

It was aContinue reading “1 step forward, 2 steps backwards”
I love an emotional challenge!
It only took Edward 2 and a bit year to ask me out for a coffee without using work as a crutch. A few weeks ago, he asked me to invite him for a cuppa, and when I did, he didn’t get back to me for a whole day! Who takes a day to sayContinue reading “I love an emotional challenge!”
His pain struck a chord
Most of the conversation during our coffees centred around him telling me how sorry he was that he was so scruffy, when I was so impeccably dressed, or about how hard his life was, as he was going through a divorce. As expected, I spilled my coffee on him a couple of times, bumped intoContinue reading “His pain struck a chord”
Edward the English Strategist who is obsessed with roosters.

Well I had worked there for 7 years andContinue reading “Edward the English Strategist who is obsessed with roosters.”
In and out of my own life
It is 2022, Covid has evolved, I think I have too! It’s a muggy summer day here in the leafy suburb of Mount Waverley, my fridge is empty, as the kids are at their dad’s this weekend! It’s a perfect Sunday and I am sitting at my local café, waiting for my breakfast to arrive.Continue reading “In and out of my own life”
