    Me and Three

    How would you describe yourself to someone? I’m: – Goal oriented and move fast on new ideas (so I’m kinda ok with failure and learning as I go), – Enthusiastic and energetic (but boy, do I need a good night sleep), and – A lifelong learner (I have 3 apps on my phone for uni… Continue reading

    Love at first sight

    If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be? Definitely, unequivocally, it would be Dino from The Flinstones. This cartoon was a big part of my childhood. And it was so sweet in that one episode when Dino fell in love with the neighbours dog, Juliet. Outcome is predictable, but it’s still a… Continue reading

    When the world calls…

    Looking back at photos from our last trip and this photo hits true for me. Getting out on the open road and heading off on a new adventure. Exploring somewhere different. Meeting some new folk. Learning the history and stories of others. Making memories. I’m so grateful. Continue reading

    The land of the long white cloud

    If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? My friends over the ditch are calling me. It must be time to visit New Zealand.  The only question remains… North or South Island? Or both? Travel well, friends Continue reading

    What’s in a name?

    What’s the story behind your nickname? I don’t have one. Don’t recall I ever have. Does that mean my identity is incomplete? Should I feel like I’m missing out, or does it not really matter? I’m still me, and a shortening of my name, or an alternate name, doesn’t change who I am, how I… Continue reading

    Don’t steal the mood, DJ!

    Sometimes, it’s just hard to get up, motivated, or engaged. Life can be busy, tiring, and even overwhelming. In ‘The Second 50’, I counteract this by prioritising where I put my energy and focus. This helps me to rally the drive and commitment to tackle just about anything. I set meaningful and practical goals, reflect… Continue reading

    Time to recalibrate

    What would you change about modern society? I’d be taking a fresh new look at how our taxpayer funds are distributed and ensuring that there are adequate dollars allocated for healthcare and homelessness. It’s not to say that other policy areas are not important. In fact, many policy areas are just as critical as medicine… Continue reading

    Voices, keystrokes and me

    What do you listen to while you work? All day, I’m surrounded by sound. The 9am-5pm chatter of busy workers, the rythym of keystrokes, mobile and desk phones ringing – first this one, then that one, and the enduring coughs of those who are battling the last annoying remnants of a seasonal virus. I try… Continue reading

About Me

I’m 50+ years and I’m not wasting a single day. I’m married, a mum and live near the beautiful Barossa Valley, South Australia. I have lost 40kgs+. I focus a lot on protein and am on a journey of self discovery about gut and brain health. I love travelling, particularly through outback Australia. I enjoy hiking and bush walking. My camera is my phone.I work FT and recently commenced a grad cert at uni. My views are my own.
