What is your favorite place to go in your city?
M y favourite place to go near where I live is The Gatehouse Cafe. It is in a beautiful old building with lots of little cosy rooms to dine in. The food is delicious. The Gatehouse as a building is at the entrance to Rupertswood, where the first cricket match between Australia and England, now known as the The Ashes was played.
What’s the first impression you want to give people?
The first impression that I want to give people is that I am a wise, intelligent, compassionate and empathic person who is also creative. I try to be the very best version of myself when I meet potential new friends 🧡 or contacts.
What book are you reading right now?
I have not long finished reading “Nobody’s Girl ” by Virginia Roberts Giuffre. It is probably the best seller at the moment. It certainly is no fairytale, but it packs a punch. She had such a sad life, and Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell were predators who preyed on her vulnerability. I think every woman should read 📚 this book.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
This is such a great topic. If I could live anywhere in the world 🌎 and money was no object I would live in the inner Auckland suburb of Parnell. It is a very exclusive beautiful suburb. I would also have a beach house 🏠 somewhere in the north island of New Zealand. I would also like to visit Two Paddocks Sam Neill’s winery 🍷 in the Central Otago region of the South Island. Gee it’s nice to have dreams. This dream is pure fantasy.
What is good about having a pet?
The best thing about having a pet is the pure unconditional love ❤️ they bring to your life. They really are little gifts from God and are 😇 angels on this earth 🌎.
My little Lily is the thing I love most in this world 🌎. She definitely is my little best friend 🧡, and my constant companion. Having her gives my life purpose. She gives me a reason to get up and moving every morning 🌄. Pets are great for children because having a pet teaches them responsibility and to care for something other than themselves and teaches them about real love in this world 🌎 .
Lily is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time and I couldn’t imagine life without her.
I am writing ✍️ this post after rewatching Guy Sebastian on the ABC program The Assembly. Guy was giving advice to young lady who is on the autism spectrum about social media trolls. I agree wholeheartedly with his advice. We should not give our energy to the trolls and negative people in our life instead we should only give our energy to the people that are in our corner batting for us and building us up. Learn to actively ignore the negative haters and only give our precious finite energy to our loved ones ❤️ 💕 💖 become a believer in the knowledge that love always outweighs negativity and hate. I firmly believe this to be so.
At the moment, I am entered in a lottery of sorts. I am on the waiting list for social housing for independent housing for people with mental health issues called The Haven, and I feel at times that it’s as daunting as hopefully winning Tattslotto. I know I stand a better than average chance of being housed there, but at times, it feels like a dream that won’t come true. Still, I approach it with a glass half full perspective. Whatever happens, it is great that this sort of social housing is being built here in Victoria
Keep your fingers and toes crossed that I am one of the lucky ones who Mind approves for this housing. It really would be an answered prayer 🙏🏽 and a big dream come true. I believe in the power of prayer 🙏🏽.
What was your favorite subject in school?
At primary school my favourite subjects were art and creative writing ✍️.
At secondary my favourite subjects were journalism and English literature.
At university, my favourite subject was definitely children’s literature, as I knew I would end up being an author of children’s literature.
Do you need time?
Do I need time? That is a good question. Living on my own I often have too much time on my hands and sometimes miss human company, particularly at night I miss someone to share my day with. Thank God for Lily as she is the best company ever.
When I move and begin my new life I hope to see more of my family and 🧡 friends. I will no longer have a steep set of stairs, so hopefully 🙏🏽 that will mean I see more of my family, as there will be no steep steps for them to climb.
I plan on being more active with my friends when I move
