Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.

This blog post has really got me thinking because I don’t really come from a family that observes a lot of traditions….. Probably the main tradition we observe is the celebration 🍾 of Christmas 🎄. I love my Christmas celebrations at my brother Peter’s home. I look forward to that every year and treasure that sacred family time. I enjoyed celebrating my nephew and nieces birthdays as they grew up and had the tradition of buying them a book for their birthday 🎁 present.

In my own life, I have a few traditions of my own. I send all my loved ones a good morning gif every morning, and I have Susanna to thank for that. When Susanna was still alive and battling cancer, I would send her a greeting every morning, just to show her love and support. She was always the first thing in my mind every morning, and I loved her dearly. It became a tradition for me for about the last two or three years of her life. I know this made Susanna feel very loved.

What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

There are several things I like doing in my leisure time. I love ❤️ writing this blog and writing books for children.

I love every second I spend with Lily walking 🚶‍♂️ her, playing with her, caring for her, etc. She is the thing I love most in this world.

I love going out for meals, a cuppa, etc. with friends and family, and I most definitely love opshopping with Kathryn and Lani, etc. I also love doing my weekly shop at ALDI.

I love reading 📚 books to both relax and use my mind. This helps to improve my writing and my vocabulary, etc. Reading for b pleasure to me is a must.

I love spending time with my nephews and nieces. I don’t get to see them enough.

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

I really had to think about this one. An attraction in the state of Victoria where I live that I haven’t seen is Wilson’s Promotory National Park. I would love ❤️ 😍 to see it. It is the place in Victoria that interests me the most.

I live in Melbourne,but I have never travelled to Sydney for a holiday yet. I would love to see the Opera house. Australia is such a big vast country, and I have seen some of it, but there is so much more to see.

List five things you do for fun.

1 Going out with friends

2 Going opshopping.

3 Wakiing Lily for excerise.

4 Playing games, including playing with Lily

5 writing my blog and other writing ✍️.

If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

If I could make Lily understand one thing, it would be how loved and cherished she is and that I would never abandon her. I’ve been in hospital a couple of times throughout Lily’s life, and I am lucky that I have friends who will look after her when this occurs. I want Lily to understand that she will always be cared for and that I would never abandon her. She is the thing I love the most 💕 in this world. She is more than just a pet. She is my everything.

Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

I google my name Kaye and found out it means “rejoice.” It has a biblical meaning of “she who holds the keys.” It is the name of Welsh, Celtic, and Irish origin.

My middle name, Janice, means “God has s been gracious. Gift from God. “

I am quite fascinated to learn what my names mean.

What’s your dream job?

I am on the way to achieving my goal of being a known published author of children’s literature. I have self-published two books on a small scale, those being “God Bless Our Dogs and The Dance Of The Emerald Dress “

All my life, I have wanted to be an author, and I feel great that recently I made that happen on a small scale. As Paul Kelly sings , “From little things big things grow.” It is the small steps I take regularly that means I achieve my goals.

The blog is a wonderful way to express my creativity and hones my writing ✍️ skills. If I could make an income from my regular blog 📫 posts, it would be so fulfilling, and I could use that income to further work on my other writings ✍️.

I also send my loved ones a gif every morning as a greeting 🙏 and to show my love. It has just occurred to me that it would be wonderful if we could be paid to “pay it forward “!that is that we get paid to spread goodwill. What a different world 🌎 we would live in if positivity and goodwill were encouraged and rewarded. Fellow bloggers would be the most appropriate people to spread this goodwill with our regular blog posts.

I think I already do have my dream job, just the beginning stages of that dream. If you do something you love, it is only the beginning of a life well lived.

What makes a good leader?

A good leader is someone who is intelligent, eloquent, and well spoken and doesn’t mind talking to large groups of people to put forward the desires goals and plans of those they represent. A leader should also have compassion, empathy, and respect 🙏 by the bucket loads. They should be role model and conscious of the impact of their actions upon others. They should be honest forthright and approachable. They should have good intentions and put the rights of those the represent ahead of their own desires.

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

If I could un-invent something, it would be the negative impacts of some forms of social media like Facebook, etc. Some of these social media sites have allowed things that are absolutely evil to happen

I would definitely allow blogs to still exist as a means of self-expression and creativity.

My personal experience of Facebook wasn’t great. There is no confidentiality on platforms like Facebook, where bullying and judgement of people are common. I would like it to be a positive empathic caring platform. Somehow I don’t think I am alone in wishing for that.
