What a year! What a relief to have some warmer weather and to enjoy being out of doors :) We have tried to keep one another safe…to survive!…

Literally…spring is in the air and Hayfever symptoms are unfortunately back for some of us too. We literally need to try to appreciate, the good with the bad…

Are U OK? How can we be ok when we are in lockdown? Today is officially R U OK Day, 9 September, 2021. Today and every day we are encouraged to ask this question of ourselves and of others...

We used to have more freedom. We could choose a lot of things. Who we want to be with, when and where we want to be…

It is normal to feel out of whack and weary given the strangeness of our present existence. A couple of years ago we would never have imagined experiencing a lockdown. We had no reason to expect it nor would we have chosen it as our preferred way of being…

Feeling a bit meh…a bit flat? We are too!! Lockdown #4 has affected us all. Lockdowns are really difficult and they can be really tough on folk…

Most people tend to talk about what’s not working for them. This can stem from a crisis mindset. Let’s face it, the world is unpredictable and people can be complicated and we really don’t have much control over the way many things pan out…

Post lockdown most of us seem to have picked up pace, in that we are moving around more…especially outside, we are socialising more…in person, we are travelling more…further afield, we are experiencing a flurry of activity, which includes sound, smell, sight, touch and tastes. And it’s wonderful most of the time but it can also be stress inducing…

What do we want this year to include? How do we want this year to unfold? Do we wait for things to come our way…NO!…

As 2020, the stormiest, strangest year winds up, we’re looking forward to a break from work, a break from the alarm, a break from routine, a break from the traffic, a break from our suburban living, a break from the stress of life, a break from anything necessary to earn a buck and a break from catastrophe and confusion…

What sacrifice, what grief and loss, what trying and restrictive limits have we endured…leaving us so very tired…

World Mental Health day is a little different this year, with events and get-togethers more restricted than usual…you’re telling me?…sigh!…collective groan…the longest & loudest understandably coming from Victorians. The Pandemic has given us even greater need to consider how we are coping during this strange time…

How are we coping? If we’re not then we need to take responsibility for getting the support we need or ask someone to help us to…

Lockdown Stage 4 is not something that we imagined that Victorian’s would be inflicted with nor did Melbourne residents imagine that they would ever be living with a curfew. But this is what we all need to join together to do, given the rate of infection and the consequences, to beat it!…

Here we go again with ISO part 2 and many of us are experiencing lockdown fever. Just when we got a little taste of freedom? And yes we did enjoy it :) We had a moment in time to experience a little more mobility (drive further from our designated residence) and a little more freedom to be with others (albeit maintaining social distance) For that we are thankful…

Victorians are especially feeling the effect of the Coronavirus. When restrictions were reviewed, some freedoms were granted and there was an audible…yippee! We began making plans to get together…

How are we doing? Honestly? If we did a mood check (on a scale of 1-10) where are we in terms of depression, anxiety & stress? Given the upside and the downside of a pandemic we have all experienced fluctuating moods. It seems that many introverts are relishing the change whereas many extroverts appear a little more bamboozled…

If our intent is to love then that needs to be backed up by our actions even when there is tension & stress…

How the world has changed and what are we learning? How important toilet paper is to many in the world? The benefit and challenge of washing our hands for 20 seconds with soap?…

Life is full of cycles…a number of events that happen again and again in the same cycle. One of the cycles that many of us look forward to is the cycle of the seasons…
