The Why!







What do you want to do when you grow up?

Always ask people, especially the little people in your world, what their dreams are. What do you want to do when you grow up?

In fact, ask, what are your dreams, what do you want to do when you grow up, get up, get off your arse and/or, sometimes, even when you have given up, of every adult who will answer. 

Why?

I think the answers will amaze you! Floor you! Challenge you! Inspire you! 

And.....

Every now and again, like me, you just might find yourself, seated beneath a tree, with a 5 year old warrior princess. 

This little warrior, will whisper, this is where I write. Where I write my stories. 

A few more questions later we uncovered that just like me, she wants to write stories about her friends, about real people. 

Not magical, mythical, fiction, NO! A very clear and determined response. No fear, no hesitation. Why! Anything is possible! 

Am I right or should I mention 2020?

I looked that little legend in the eyes and we made each other a pinky promise. I'd start writing, today. I'd be a brave warrior princess just like her!

In the meantime, she will keep writing stories in her special place. 

Then maybe, just maybe, one day we will meet each other again, in a new way; on a page. 

So thats the why. Why the blog. Why the now. Why the name.

Roar like a warrior - Sometimes it needs to be soft and gentle, just like a sweet little ones dreams, being spoken into life!

  Kesha The Best Is Yet To Come! When a person loses the will to live no one can give it back to them. They must themselves, fight to find it. 2019 was a brutal year. It took me down more than once. My grief has truly overwhelmed me. I could list those brutal events and make you all cry. Instead I'd rather make a post that declares I found my will again! I'd rather thank the people who nurtured my spirit, even though I could no longer feel it. I'd rather thank the people who sacrificed for me and my family than to name the people who tried to destroy it. Im in 2020 because I didn't have to fight alone! I'm in 2020 because of all of you! My lifelong shepherds and all my precious friends  and my soul sister Bec. That once in a lifetime friend who spends 2 hours turning you into Kesha. Turning your tears golden, so you can go across the road to the park for NYE feeling fabulous. 10 minutes of fireworks. Asleep by 1am. Sober. Supported. Loved. Safe. 2020 - Time to inves...
 
Valentines Day After a week of little to no sleep, my day started with being woken at 6am by a cranky daughter. Waving her shorts in my face she loudly demanded, "find my correct sports shorts" before flinging herself down on the ground crying "I'm too tired for this, I'm going back to bed and I don't care if I'm late for school"! The parent in me thought, this is not appropriate behaviour but the exhausted pigeon in me, was like you go girl ain't nobody got the energy for 6am short fights! The day progressed as normal. Trying to juggle 600 balls in the air, attempting not to drop any whilst fearing the usual thought that I should be juggling more without being sure what that more is. I didn't even realise it was Valentines Day till late morning. Those that know me, know that I'm usually planning for my favourite holiday at least a week ahead. By late afternoon I caught myself replying to Valentine's well wishes from DJ with slurs aga...
