After my morning personal training session and as I wandered the miles into work for a new week, I found myself skirting around the subject of desire and sexuality and what it means or doesn’t mean. For me.

Taking stock
Posted in Lessons, Life, Thoughts on June 17, 2009 | 4 Comments »
June for me is the perfect month to tie up loose ends on ongoing projects and to take a moment to stop and consider how far you’ve come. This is one of the times I do my emotional audit. Where have I come from? What have I accomplished? Where do I want to go from [...]
When life throws you a curveball…
Posted in Days, Lessons, Thoughts on May 18, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Even if you’re not a baseball fan, you know a curveball is a tricky pitch: It doesn’t follow the path you expect, it can surprise you by arriving when you’re not ready for it, and if you’re not careful, it can leave you with a painful bruise. That’s why we refer to unexpected developments in [...]
Partnership and Committment
Posted in Lessons, Life, Love, Thoughts on April 7, 2009 | 16 Comments »
I have been putting much thought to partnerships and close personal relationships and committment of late.
My parents married early after a period of courting and wooing, as was common during the late 40’s and 50’s. Both were Catholic. Both were virgins when they married. Both married for life, and for better and for worse. [...]
Bushfire season
Posted in Days, Lessons, Life, Thoughts on February 9, 2009 | 6 Comments »
As I went to bed last night, ringing in my mind is the 85 people deathtoll from this latest fire season. Likely to go up, they say with nearly all of the burns critical, and as volunteers go house to house….whole communities wiped out with not one house standing.
When we choose to live in [...]
My Passions: 1. Goalsetting

“Life isn’t about finding yourself; it’s about creating yourself.” George Bernard Shaw.
In my life I have been in situations where the power was NOT with me or mine and I was a bit of the flotsam and jetsam drifting on the tide of life wondering why life didn’t dump me on any shores I [...]

As I munch away at my breakfast of a crunchy pear sliced and diced into 4 tablespoons of fat free natural yoghurt with a tablespoon of pepitas ( pumpkin seeds) and sunflower seeds, I think about the commitment to caring for oneself. As a woman, and a mother ( and now a grandmother) so much [...]
2008, in retrospect
Posted in Lessons, Life, Thoughts on January 2, 2009 | 5 Comments »
JANUARY: Heath Ledger died as the New Year began. I began a new work role in the film industry, so as this news broke I was steeping myself in that world. It was all around me. All I could think was what a waste of life this was. OJ Simpson was jailed. The Australian Prime [...]
2009 – JS is no more
Posted in Lessons, Thoughts on January 1, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I went to http://web.archive.org/web/*/life-lived.journalspace.com/* and found JS had a robot exclusion so any chance we had at recovering our pages and work is gone. Somewhere on one of my machines I believe I have a backup of most of my site BUT not the most recent.
