Dear Daughters and Sons – Listen to RuPaul.
I realised in the middle of the night – which is when we realise all great or stupid things – that the one thing I regret in life more than any thing else is this – I didn’t believe in myself. I have lost opportunities. I have seen small rocks that needed kicking out of […]
Dear Daughters and Sons – The Things that Haunt Us
Many times in my life I have curled up into a ball and wanted to disappear feeling that I just can’t do it – life that is. About Half the Time: If I could talk to my younger self in these moments I would like to shake myself and say – Listen Younger-self – half […]
Dear Everyone – The right kind of Slackness
When I had cancer people said the most outrageous things to me. Theses included such wisdom as ‘Oh its Karma‘ and ‘I know exactly what you’re going through because my 94 year old father has cancer‘ and ‘Good things will come out of this‘. Worse and less was said to me. And because none of […]
An Embarrassing Confession
Dear Daughters and Sons, I have a confession to make. If I think about my life I can straight off think of many books that have changed the way I think or the journey I am on. Lady Chatterley’s Lover showed me that I didn’t have to stay in a marriage with no tenderness. Langdon […]
Dear Daughters and Sons – how to not become a hermit in a knitted beanie.
Dear Daughters and Sons, All my life I have been ’emotionally fluid’ you know – like waves, large ones that roll and crash about without direction.

Dear Daughters – finding a perfect man – Dear Sons – why you can never be one
Yesterday my husband Pete forgot about my strict baptist upbringing and thought he would try a little role playing with me. He walked into the kitchen, swaggering in a singlet and shorts and said, ‘G’day Lovvie, I’m Big Bob from Big Bobs massage palour for professional women.’ He didn’t get the response he wanted, I […]
Dear Sisters, on day 1. make your own happiness
Dear Sisters, I have not written for a long time. This is because I am a mess. When I was in my 30’s people in their 50s told me that your 50s is the best time of your life. For me this has not been true. When I look back, the best time of my […]
Idiots who tried to cure my Cancer
Dear Sons and Daughters, 10 years ago I had cancer. You can believe me because I have the scars to prove it. Every idiot knew how to cure me. I was told red cordial, meditation, drinking grass juice, drinking my own urine, eating only vegetables, having my chakra aligned, never touching coffee, tea, alcohol, cows […]
