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!

NO ONE SPOKE Me: How did I get here? Universe:  No One Spoke! A house is not always a home,  A home is not always a house,  A right society is not always right And right is not always enough…. ~ Ange Kelly This is the place he raised me, while I raised our son.  This is where I lived.  No power, no running water, no neighbours.  This is where I married him.  This is where I first truly defied him by going back to school.  This is where I learnt how you valued me.  This is where No One Spoke.  It wasn't; he wasn't, the first nor the last…. but it was the beginning of the end. This is the house I built, the land I found. This is the dream with its white picket fence. The sweet yellow nursery. The seed of a plant. Now I paid tax, now I worked corporate.  Now you would value me. But…. Still No One Spoke. Not until after. “I heard her screams” the neighbours said “We were very concerned” the officials said “We thought he would kill her,”...

  PEOPLE I LOVE We are all perfectly placed. I dont know your name. You lived at 51 Carrol Ave, Millgrove in 1994. You were my neighbour.  I was a 14 year old pregnant girl.  You could hear the screams, I know because you told me. You cried and I thought I'd upset you. "No, you sweetly replied. Not you. You could never upset me."  You had a young son. I think his name was Callum but my memory is distorted from the trauma so that might not be his name and I may never know yours! What was never distorted though was your gentle kindness.....  I remember meeting you the first time. I'd knocked on your door to ask if you had put a collar on my cat. Weird I know!  I had a kitten that I really loved. Stony. A little black and white bundle of joy. I didn't have any money though and didn't really know how to care for myself yet alone a pet. So when my kitten showed up with a fancy collar I was a little confused.  You had cats too. Well loved and cared for cats ...

The speech you probably haven't heard. 'A Call to Action: A Call to Love' by ~ Grace Tame

The speech you probably haven't heard.    'A Call to Action: A Call to Love' by   ~ Grace Tame "To the rest of the community, I ask you - if nothing else - you simply keep on loving one another, and yourselves. You too have the power to affect positive change. Smile at the next stranger you see. Hug your friends and family. Thank yourself, for all that you are able to do, to move forward in this life, however slowly.  These are the seeds of progress. The most powerful of all actions.  Together, as one, we must action truth. Grace Tame, 7/2/2020   I respect Grace Tame .  Her recent Australia Day award speech made me, at times, hold my breath from its intense impact.  I don't respect the award she won at all and this is why.  In 2020 we gave Bettina Arndt an Australia Day Award.  She received an AM for "significant service to gender equity”.  Bettina Arndt and the interview she produced with  Grace Tame’s c onvicted Rapist, was...
