I truly believe this. Once connected, always connected. As a lover of the written word in general, I’m a long time fan of the snapshot variety. The quote. My favourites are ones which utterly and completely capture a situation, emotion or a belief that I’ve had, or still have. They can be simple, just a few words, […]
I’m recently back from holidays this past week. It was the first chance I’ve had for a decent break (on my OWN!) after a particularly full-on year and I really needed some time away to recharge the batteries. I’m pretty easy-going when it comes to holidays, I’m happy just to get away! But I do […]
The world seems to have gone crazy in the last 72 hours. It’s been really tough maintaining the optimism this week. I’ve recognised an optimistic trait in myself for as long as I can remember. My whole life I’ve mostly tried to hope for the best. Keep accentuating the positive. It doesn’t always work but […]
It has been almost a year since I’ve posted anything here and, to be honest, I’m feeling pretty rusty in the writing department. Sometimes it isn’t like riding a bike. As much as you’d like it to be. Not surprisingly, I wondered if the words would come out right, would I be able to string […]
I am a voracious reader. Always have been, always will be. I will forever thank my lucky stars I have a mother who recognised my thirst for the written word and encouraged it. It is my fervent hope that my boys will discover this joy for themselves too one day, outside of car/rugby/gaming magazines. (I […]
I’ve been feeling my way along the parameters of this new life for a while, taking in the unfamiliar twists and turns similar to how you move about in the dark; slowly but surely. And then sometimes not so surely. It’s just over a month since we moved to a new house and I’m finally […]
Image credit I’m baaaaaack! I guess it’s true what they say, old(ish) writers never die; they just go on a loooong hiatus. Boom tish. Well, what a difference a year makes. Those twelve little months can whoosh past in the blink of an eye, can’t they? Before you know it, you’re unpacking the fairy lights […]
Source Everyone in my house had Monday-itis this morning. Except for my eldest. He was up and out the door by 6am. The only reason I know this is because our resident feline diva had been literally walking all over me since 5.30. How freaking hard is it to find a suitable spot to plonk […]
I thoroughly enjoyed all the pampering of yesterday but today it was back to work! You can tell when I have a day off, that’s all I’m sayin’. Image source Three loads of washing were washed and hung out, two baskets of clean clothes folded and put away, breakfast dishes sorted, kitchen benches wiped down, hard […]
I adore this picture. It’s a mother’s love, shining pure and bright for all to see. My mother and I have had our share of ups and downs over the years although I’m glad to say they’ve mostly been ups. I think she’d agree that my teens were probably the hardest period of all, probably […]
Hi, I’m Sarah!
Former wild-child of the 80’s, classic rock fan and loyal friend to a particularly awesome group of people. Forever planning to write more. Fervently wishes she lived at the beach. Loves the mighty All Blacks. Rather partial to a cheeky glass of red.
