  • A New Day

    Yesterday was absolute shite for me. There is no nice way to say it. It just was. I won’t go into details about it because once was enough, but I am NOT going to edit myself here either. After a situation on one of my personal social media accounts I am now a whole lot…

  • 50 Shades of – well you know ;)

    Sorry I have been a little bit silent over the past week or so. My health has struggled since my plastic surgery last year. My mental health took a tumble for a few weeks also – Hey thats okay. Walk a mile in someones shoes and all that stuff and we often find that things…

  • COVID-19

    We are incredibly fortunate as a nation. I mean we know that things aren’t perfect and many things across our country need to change. Sometimes those wheels of change turn slowly but I honestly believe in the goodness and kindness of Australians and I know that we are a fortunate country. We value mateship, we…

  • 6 Months Post Plastics

    WTF Wednesday – I am coming up on being 6 months post my first plastic surgery. I am honestly very much in two minds about doing it again. I need revision – That isn’t me saying it, although it was obvious straight after my first surgery that I wasn’t as I hoped I would be,…

  • Good – Better – Fricken Awesome

    Today has been a good day. It wasn’t particularly remarkable as such. It was a day – I woke early, had the kids off to school, went out for coffee with a new friend. I came home, did some uni prep, worked for a while, cooked and managed to distract myself when I felt like…

  • Let’s Be Honest

    Always be a little afraid when I start out with a title like “Lets Be Honest” because I intend to pull no punches today. This is raw and uncut and I am not going to delete this because I am concerned that it may offend. Haha – I know right – people think that I…

  • My Mile

    “Believe me, Marianne, had I not been bound to silence I could have provided proof enough of a broken heart, even for you.” Oh Jane Austen how this words resonate with me!!! So often we have no idea what is really going on in someone else’s life. This morning I have been absolutely and totally…

  • The Psychologist

    WHY, why do I ALWAYS feel worse after I go to see these people? I NEVER feel unburdened and I always feel like my life sounds unbelievable in my own ears, let alone to someone else. Ugh! Is this the residual cynicism that seems to be part of my “post ministry idealistic phase”? Thank’s for…

  • FUPA

    Today I was asked if I used to have one prior to my WLS, if I still have one now! Well – ain’t this the Awkie question 🤣🤣! Actually for me it’s not because I am fairly shameless and I am just gonna shameless my way through this! So be warned ….. strap yourself in…

  • Choppity Chop Chop Chop

    Well I finally did it. I was sick of my hair so I had it all cut off! I did this for a few reasons….. The first is that anaesthetic causes my hair to fall out. It has happened with every surgery I have ever had in my life. With my Weight loss surgery I…
