Strong people: we need you to fight for our world

Posted on September 1, 2016March 21, 2022 by Sarah

Recently, I was asked if I would consider standing as a councillor on our local Council. I laughed out loud. I’m pretty vocal in my own little community.  I belong to an Owner’s Corporation that is only three years old. The inaugural committee at the time was pretty punitive in its approach, egged on by…

View from a bed

Posted on May 12, 2016 by Sarah

I’m in bed.  Recuperating from a hysterectomy. I have a way of downplaying things that happen to me.  I tend to speak about seemingly big things like they aren’t big things at all.  I think if I do this I am in effect minimising the magnitude of what has happened to me. I downplayed my…

Tony Abbot appoints Scott Morrison to the role of Ministry of Social Services – heaven help us all!

Posted on December 22, 2014 by Sarah

Let me be perfectly clear. Scott Morrison is a man who, until a couple of days ago, was the Immigration Minister in Australia.  He is also personally responsible for the inhumane treatment of thousands of asylum seekers to this country. No matter what your views about the validity of asylum seekers who come to this…

At the heart of the Sydney Siege was Domestic Violence and a legal system that failed us

Posted on December 16, 2014 by Sarah

I was having lunch with a friend of mine when news of the Sydney Siege hit the television screen. My friend and I watched in disbelief at what was unfolding in Martin Place. When I got home, I immediately threw on the TV and had the commentary going on in the background trying to make…

Oscar Pistorius is going to jail because he is an Olympian

Posted on October 22, 2014 by Sarah

Last night I went to bed with the news that Oscar Pistorius had received 5 years for his killing of Reeva Steenkamp. This morning, I woke up to the news that there was outrage. Hell, I was outraged. He had killed someone – he should be jailed and the key should have been thrown away….

Domestic Violence + Dr Phil – STOP VICTIM BLAMING!

Posted on September 21, 2014 by Sarah

Friday saw the last day of term.  I love the school holidays.  No rushed mornings and lazy days.  They suit my personality perfectly. In preparation for the holidays, after I picked up Master J from school, I decided to clear out the pantry.  It was such a mess and my anxiety levels rose every single…

Is Australia really facing a terror threat?

Posted on September 18, 2014 by Sarah

  The news has been full today with images of police raids on homes in Guildford in Sydney and the arrest of one Omarjan Azari.  This comes just days after Tony Abbott announced that Australia would be joining the US-led anti ISIS campaign in Iraq. It needs to be said that I am a cynical…

Autism + Siblings {It’s not always pretty}

Posted on September 4, 2014 by Sarah

It was Miss J’s birthday a couple of days ago.  22 years.  Where on earth does the time go? In the lead up to her dinner at a local Thai restaurant, I found myself reflecting on being a mother to her and what it was like for her to grow up in our household. We…

Know thyself

Posted on September 1, 2014 by Sarah

I’m studying for all the wrong reasons.  I know this, yet I bury my head in the sand and pretend I don’t know, pretend that I love it and can’t wait to hold that degree in my hand. I’m lying.  Truth is I am hating it. I’m doing it because I need a sense of…

I have a dream

Posted on August 29, 2014 by Sarah

Have you got a dream?  A dream that is so big you worry that you may never achieve it? I have one.  It has been with me for quite some time now.  It stemmed out of my love of books, and especially book clubs.  Book clubs are way too thin on the ground for my…
