Kyushu Japan... A mythical mysterious wonderland of sights that exceeded my wildest dreams!
This relatively unknown, to Australians, destination is the south westernmost of Japan’s main islands. It has a mostly subtropical climate so not as cool as Hokkaido in winter. With active volcanoes, beaches, and natural hot springs it is a destination to put on your list.

As a professional grief counsellor, what I do get a really big buzz out of, is seeing people who have had to say goodbye to their much loved pet, then come back months later and they've changed their whole life around!
They've gone from almost being at that ‘suicidal stage’ to dealing with their loss and understanding how we can all handle our grief.

Gliding can be great fun!
But for those not too familiar with the sport, I should explain that gliding entails climbing into a small aircraft, (not equipped with an engine!), being towed by one of several means to a height of about two thousand feet, and then staying up there for as long as possible, making use of various weather features and your own skill…

Ever heard this from kids – "I'm sooo booored!" Ever said it yourself? Why do we get bored?
What ever happened to ‘spontaneity’ where you just do something for fun on the spur of the moment because you feel like it? The famous Oprah Winfrey set some challenges for families a while back on her very popular TV show.
The challenge was to see who can go a week without the TV, iPads, Facebook, computer games etc.

I’m sure I’m far from being the only one, but with increasing old age I find that I keep getting ‘snap-shots’ appearing in my mind’s eye, memories of the silly, painful, happy or sad things the occurred to me when I was very young, (you know – less than thirty years old), and that have obviously been stored in my head for all these years, until a drawer or a filing cabinet in my brain has suddenly burst open and let a memory out!

The Japanese delicacy known as Fugu, Puffer or Blowfish is more poisonous than cyanide. Japanese people love it and one would wonder why, when the risk of dying from consuming it is always a worry.
People say it is 200 times more poisonous than cyanide and 23 people have died in the last 15 years from consuming ill prepared Fugu.

We do tend to treat the English language with a great deal of disrespect don’t we?, (as I’m sure other nationalities do also!).
I think of the various ways we bend the meaning of words, even going so far as to completely change their original meaning altogether, and the lazy way we pronounce a lot of other words is sad, but I suppose only to be accepted in today’s fast-moving world, and one needs to take in the effects of all the accents used, these are another source of meaning changes I’m sure.

I can in all honesty, claim to have a truly multicultural family. As well as multicultural, I think my 4 siblings and I could rival the late Elizabeth Taylor in the race to see how many divorces and marriages we have had!
There have been 3 Australians, 1 Greek, 2 Africans, 1 Austrian, 1 Samoan, 1 Italian, 1 Dutch,1 Danish and 2 Englishmen in our past and present partners. Our children have added a few more cultures with Melanesian, French, German, Swedish, Norwegian, as well as more Italians, Indian Slovakian and English.

I’ve always loved writing and story-telling. But I never thought that one-day I’d be writing about my own life. It’s proving to be a more complicated process than I’d expected!
It started out with the idea of a memoir of my life – something I could pass on to the kids, because sadly my husband Don died from suicide and it was basically going to be the story of moving forward from that horrific event and getting my life back together.

Today I resigned from work. I finished my last day today, I had a good last day and felt that I accomplished much in the past 5 weeks or so. I’m very grateful and appreciative of the support and help from my coworkers and of course Roxy, one of my best friends who has helped me get this job in the first place.
