It’s Good to Have Friends

March 21, 2013

Sometimes it takes a pivotal moment to help change your outlook on life. For me, it was the devastating events of Monday, 22 March, 2010. On this very day, a terrifying hail storm hit Western Australia, the worst in 50 years. There was extensive hail, strong winds and heavy rain; all of which caused damages… Read More It’s Good to Have Friends

Being Considerate of Others

February 28, 2013

It’s always been within my nature to care about other people. I can’t help it, it’s a definitive part of who I am. If my daughter spills her drink in the middle of the shops, I’ll find anything to absorb up the water. I wouldn’t want someone to slip over. If I’m driving along and… Read More Being Considerate of Others

Your Actions Matter

February 1, 2013

I had one of the most awful days yesterday. It started off bad and progressed to absolutely horrible. However, despite such an eventful day, I managed to go to bed with a smile on my face. I’ll tell you how the actions of others led to this smile… The beginning of the day… I woke… Read More Your Actions Matter

Supporting Others in Their Success

January 23, 2013

I caught some of my friends off guard today. They were unaware that I once had a passion for writing poetry and music, two of my favourite pastimes as a teenager. The even bigger shock to my friends was that I’d once auditioned for Australian Idol. As I smiled and reminisced about my attempt at a music… Read More Supporting Others in Their Success

Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

December 31, 2012

As a writer, I always have stories to tell. Some of these stories might inspire, some might lead to self-reflection, some might even change a person’s life. But ‘story-telling’ isn’t limited to only writers alone. Everyone you come across in life will have a story to tell. But it is up to each of us… Read More Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

Life is Just Too Short: An Important Lesson from Connecticut

December 16, 2012

I woke up yesterday believing it would be just another normal day. I turned to the right side of my bed, and grabbed my phone to check my emails. Just like usual, I proceeded to open up my Facebook. Emotions soar through me as I saw status after status update, and link upon link, of… Read More Life is Just Too Short: An Important Lesson from Connecticut

Kind People Are My Kinda People

November 13, 2012

Everyday, we are given the opportunity to be kind to others. What we say or do, and how we go about it; could determine the way we make someone feel. Two months ago, I reached my heart out to a very dear friend of mine, and it only brought our friendship closer. Having sympathy for… Read More Kind People Are My Kinda People

The Fight Against Racism: Why We Are All The Same

September 15, 2012

Racism has always been a heated topic. We, as a society, yearn to live in a world where we are accepted for who are, not what we look like. But with the raging stereotypes, racism always ends up rearing its ugly head. But what if racism didn’t have to exist? What if we could all learn… Read More The Fight Against Racism: Why We Are All The Same

You Will Be OK

September 10, 2012

It feels just like yesterday when I sat crying on a park bench. Tears were streaming down my face; I felt like I was alone. I felt far from OK. But little did I know, I wasn’t alone. Far from it. I was one of billions of people in the world, going through the same… Read More You Will Be OK

Why We All Need Each Other

August 17, 2012
Havaianas Footwear

Someone once said something about me that I’ll never forget. My friend and I were having a conversation about people who were emotionally fragile. Not sure about who she was referring to, I asked her if she meant me. Her reply: “No. I’m not talking about you. You’re strong as. If something bad happened to… Read More Why We All Need Each Other
