  • Oh me oh May (2020 May Iso Files) !

    It’s been a long few days in Geelong. Holding myself together while I do not feel like I can has been hard. I am tired. It has been months since I slept well. The last week has been one of the most pressured we have had in a long time for so many reasons. So,…

  • Snippets of my why

    The lulling tattoo of the waves relentlessly pounding onto the moss-slickened rocks far below her little sheltered nook at the edge of the cliff face, always quietened her heart. It was peaceful in a way that nothing else was, to gaze out over the shimmery, expanse of blue, breathe in deeply and allow herself to…

  • Behind The Wall

    Sitting silently by the tiny school room door on an old, rickety wooden bench, painted white long ago but now turning shades of dirty grey. She sat in silence, dark blue eyes downcast, not daring to peek around the lunch space she sat in . The clicking of lunch box lids and scrunchy sound of…

  • Loss

    I love the beautiful people in my life. They truly do inspire me to want to be a better human being. Today was a really hard day at our house. We got a phone call from our sons principal, letting us know that one of the children in our sons class passed away yesterday in…

  • Where you from, you sexy thang!

    Or perhaps I should call this – How Tasha got her groove back? 🤣 In any case I am finding me again. It’s been a long time coming but I am starting to feel at home in my own skin – possibly for the first time in my adult life. I feel blessed and grateful…

  • My thoughts on Image and how we see ourselves post WLS

  • Little miss homemaker

    The isolation has officially gotten to me. I have started making bread 🥯 … I can’t even believe that this is actually happening to me. I know that isolation can do things to people but I feel like I have had the chance to turn the clock back to 2002/3 in terms of the level…

  • Anzac Day 2020

    https://rslqld.org/news/latest-news/the-story-of-anzac-day I get incredibly emotional over Anzac Day. I always have done – how can we not be moved by the selfless love and national pride that drives young men and women to lay down their lives to defend and protect our country. We have a history of service persons on all sides of our…

  • ISOLATION BOREDOM BUSTERS

    Have you started doing laps of your house yet? Staring randomly out of the windows longing to see other people? Have you left the house to do essential things like shopping and found yourself super excited to see the staff at the check out counter? Ummmmm well that may or may not have been me…
