Day 38. Happy Saturday. My sister, who often receives comments about how much she looks like my mum, called in for a cuppa this morning before her 6 hour drive home. We sat outside in my garden, literally in my garden bed, on a log in the sun, and drank coffee and chatted about …
I want to send a big thank you to Daphne, an Amazon Top 100 bestselling author, for our Skype conversation. I was read the first few chapters of 100 days of Solitude and I felt like a connected with her on so many levels, I knew I had to contact her and see if she …
Day 27. Today has consisted of: Me writing my feature post for tomorrow. I love the process of interviewing and chatting to the awesome ladies that generously share some of their stories. I record the chat on my phone and make notes when I get home (that rhymes). I try and forget about it, because …
Day 26 Apparently this week, is the week, I need to learn to live without essential services for a while. No power yesterday, no water today. We had our solar hot water replaced. It was only for a few hours, but I forgot to fill the kettle up, so no coffee after school drop off. …

I have always known Peta, to be a woman that waves the flag very passionately for feminism, and celebrating women and their accomplishments. I have known her, to be a loyal and devoted friend to the people around her. Peta is very aware of her emotions, and from conversations with her, she tries to live …
Day 21 As I rolled out of bed this morning, I hear this “you didn’t sleep at all last night.” I was so tired my response was a grunt. I didn’t sleep because my shifts are all over the place, and I was stressing about today. There was nothing to stress about today, but I …
Day 20 Working where I work really shit me today. It wasn’t a busy day at all, but the people that I had to deal with today just pushed my buttons. I walked out of working wanting to tell some of them not to think they are so entitled. I wanted to tell one particular …
