Pondering
Smoke curls around my head. Pink Gin sits on the glass table in front of me. I take a sip, coolness gliding down my throat. I inhale, smoke hits my lungs. xxx I ponder on today’s conversation. xxx My mum, discussing a neighbour who took their life only yesterday. She sits and looks at me.…

Inspiration Post – Life, pure and simple
My life is the inspiration behind all my work. During tough times, I found I couldn’t journal so I turned to writing as a way of getting things out. It helped and I continued to do it, never expecting anything to come of it. Starting a webpage or a blog was never my intention, after…

She learnt to read a room. Feel the energy and know whether it was going to be a day of singing or a day of quiet and not speaking. xxx You would stare out the window, stare all day, not at anything but everything. No emotions. She knew those were the days to be quiet.…
