Best of 2009 #10
December 10 Album of the year. What’s rocking your world? Sadly I don’t get into music much these days. I still listen to Triple J most days, if I’m not listening to podcasts. Just checked iTunes and the last songs I bought were by Bloc Party – Talons and Banquet. Even so I didn’t like [...]

Best of 2009 #9
December 9 Challenge. Something that really made you grow this year. That made you go to your edge and then some. What made it the best challenge of the year for you? I hesitate to write about work too much, for reasons of confidentiality but… Easily my current job. Previously I’d worked in disability, but [...]

What I wore today #21
Reading this What I Wore Today blog has inspired me to be a bit creative with colour today. I tend to stick to safe colours and combinations, a uniform of sorts – today I resisted the black boots I usually wear in favour of my red ballet flats. The flower started in my hair but [...]

Stream of conciousness
Sometimes my job can be quite emotionally draining. The people I work with are some of the most underprivileged people in our society. Intergenerational poverty of the soul and bank balance. So many of the people I work with have had terrible childhoods. It makes me question nature vs nurture, what influences a person’s personality. [...]

Best of 2009 #8
December 8 Moment of peace. An hour or a day or a week of solitude. What was the quality of your breath? The state of your mind? How did you get there? Huh? I don’t get it – moment of peace? If I don’t have three voices talking to me at home, I’m listening to [...]

Etsy!
I have this love hate relationship with Etsy. I browse through the site thinking… I could make that, if I had the time, money and equipment. I have done silversmithing before and I like to dabble in jewellery making. So when I saw this seller’s shop, I was inspired. I took apart 4 different watches [...]

It’s the Silly Season!
We had Willow’s end of year ELC break up on Sunday. It was held at a pub near her school – I’d never been there, but it had a playground and a decent menu, so I’ll have to keep it in mind for nights when we don’t feel like cooking. On Sunday evening we put [...]

Best of 2009 #7
December 7 Blog find of the year. That gem of a blog you can’t believe you didn’t know about until this year. I’ve been reading blogs for about 10 years now – some of the blogs I was reading then are still around, but most are not. A genre of blog that I haven’t really [...]

Best of 2009 #6
December 6 Workshop or conference. Was there a conference or workshop you attended that was especially beneficial? Where was it? What did you learn? I went to several workshops/conferences/training sessions this year. I know I’ve already mentioned it, but my trip to Canberra was specifically for a training session on the program I currently work [...]

Best of 2009 #5
December 5 Night out. Did you have a night out with friends or a loved one that rocked your world? Who was there? What was the highlight of the night? I think I’ll have to go with my birthday night out. A organised for the children to be baby sat and we had dinner at [...]
