No Answer
What cities do you want to visit? We haven’t had a holiday since 2014 for many reasons too boring to list. I’ve wanted to visit so many places, I always thought I’d be an international traveler. Not so much. I’m grateful for where I have been though, treasured memories. I’m a city girl at heart,…
That They Can Trust Me
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. There’s really not a lot more to say is there? I am the way I am because the people I should have been able to trust in life haven’t been trustworthy. I know that there is no ‘should’, there should be no expectations, but children…
Mysts of Time!
Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc. I went to school in a day and age where this phone and that meme would have sounded like something out of a sci-fi movie. Had I ever heard of such a thing. I went to school aged 4 in…

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? I did amateur dramatics, I preferred the back stage work or writing plays though. I’m also a trained public speaker. I was part of Toastmasters International, the public speaking and leadership training organisation, for several years. During that time I won several competitions. Nothing big…
Mind Nurturing.
What are your favorite physical activities or exercises? Healthy mind, healthy body. Physical fitness does help the mind, so they go together. However if you’re depressed you probably won’t exercise, you’ll hide quietly indoors trying to escape from the world. In the West we do not prioritise the mind anywhere near as much as they…
Many Things
What is something others do that sparks your admiration? Being fully inclusive in a genuine way warms my heart. I can honestly say that my prejudices lie in unkindness and skin colour or gender will neither condemn nor save you. I don’t care who you are, prince(ss) or pauper, if you’re disrespectful I don’t admire…
Road Runner
What’s your favorite cartoon? I don’t know if the Road Runner is technically an Emu, but I dislike the way GIFs endlessly repeat. Drives me nuts, so I chose an Emu. So yes, that’s my favourite cartoon. A question I answered at least a year ago, so we know that when something is important I…
I Think
Thanks to a Jetpack glitch that severely affects posting at times, I managed to put two poems on one page, one of which I couldn’t see because jet pack keeps hiding the text. So I’ve split them apart, and added this one because they both have a point.
Squaring the “I am” Circle
That is not the ending I expected after several light, almost deliberately confusing poems. Starting with that I Am exploration at Toastmasters 6 years ago. I like it though. Exploration through poetry is such fun. Therefore it must improve my Am. Excellent!
I Am – I Said
I’m loving this exploration as different ideas come out of each peace of writing. The idea that one sentence can change the way you’re seen, but not the way you see yourself.
