Celebrate what unites us I’m making a difference fundraising for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC). I’m doing this by hosting a very special celebration of what unites us all – great food and good company, through Feast for Freedom. This is a meal that makes a difference. I’ll be inspired by special recipes gifted… Read More Feast for Freedom
I am broken. I am literally, as the song says, Falling to pieces. Can hardly remember when was the last time I was in so much pain… but I believe it was after giving birth (emergency cesarean). It was in fact after the anaesthetic effect disappeared. Having tried everything under the sun for pain management,… Read More Pain
I’m not sure about you, but I had enough. Enough of many things. As I wrote in my previous post, Reflections post lockdown this year got the worse out of me. 2021 was one of a kind for many of us, and I am on the countdown for this madness to come to an end.… Read More Burnout
It’s been a while since my last post. I know. Life got busy and in most cases, uneventful. Then, we got hit by a pandemic and everything went pear-shaped. Globally. It’s only recently that in this part of the world, Sydney, we got out of a 4-month lockdown. Some other countries and cities got it… Read More Reflections post lockdown
It was yesterday, so I’m still on a high. Listening to Pink Floyd since 7 am this morning. Loud. The neighbours didn’t knock on my door. And today is raining in Sydney. Perfect weather for the cause. I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd since my teenage years (and that was a long time ago). For… Read More The best concert of my life: Roger Waters “Us and them” tour in Sydney
Hi there, It’s already 2018, can you believe it? I recently spent some time writing my new year’s resolutions. I haven’t done them for a while for most of the years, I would drop them in 2 or 3 months (unfortunately). But this year, I have a lot to look forward to. The past year… Read More New year, new me
I’m running a bit late in this post. But it’s December. That time when you have to do a hundred things before the year ends… so here I go, better late than never. Last month, for the first time, Sydney was the host of The Big Anxiety Festival. An amazing, mind-blowing event that showcased art,… Read More The Big Anxiety Festival
It’s been 3 years since I had my post-partum psychotic episode, and I’m in a position (only now) to tell you the full story. I wrote about this soon after it. You can read it on this post. But it’s time and healing that gives you depth and perspective, and a different point of view on… Read More My psychotic episode -3 years back-
Continuing from the last post, I was relieved when the Silence came. Not worrying about talking to anyone, looking at anybody, texting or posting. Me with myself. No distractions, no ego, nothing else than me and my soul. The ashram is a beautiful place to enjoy nature, and believe me, when you are in Silence…… Read More My 1st trip to India -part 2-
Last month, I decided I wanted to do a trip on my own. I took all my leave at work, and I booked a trip to India. I wanted to do a couple of meditation courses and I organised to stay in an ashram in Bangalore. India, at first sight, was a huge cultural shock.… Read More My first trip to India -part 1-
