• roadmap

  Back in the 80’s and 90’s, to navigate your way around we had a Refidex or Street Directory. Most Queenslanders called it either Reffo or Gregories. In my case, we said Reffo. It was not an easy feat to navigate your way around; all this was pre-internet and pre-google maps. Not all maps were sequential…

• autumn

  The season of Autumn has always been my most favourite of all the seasons. The others are just all tied for second. You have Summer – bastardly hot because we I live in Queensland, Australia.

  What is it that makes us stick to one career? Why has society invented such ideals and expectations on what people do?

  When I was 16 I dated a sweet lad – we shall call him Brad. He was a car enthusiast, a rev-head, and I was not. After merely a week of being totally love struck, I was soon thinking yeah nah yeah he is not for me. Nothing in particular stood out, I just was…

I do feel a tad apprehensive coupled with readiness to fail forward; at least I am taking that first small movement and…
