Monday Morning Walk By The River As I write this, today marked the first day of my Monday freedom. It was the first full day that I could truly devote to myself and my goals.  Although I have found the process of mind mapping to be effective for prioritising my tasks, the past few weeks felt unnecessary busy, and I felt myself stressing for no apparent reason.  Starting the week completely different was exactly...

After eating one too many Magnums to acquire free Gold Class upgrades, it was about time to appreciate another Gold Class experience. There is nothing better than enjoying a dessert wine & a hot chocolate in the cinema!  I pressed the button to start my seat reclining in preparation for the commencement of “Julie & Julia”. Julie Powell’s goal was to make her way through 524 recipes from Julia...

At 14 years old, I built my first website. When I initially started exploring the Internet back in the late 90’s (I believe the year was 1999, and I was in the first year of high school – year 8), one of the first things that excited me was the concept of having my own website. The question was – what topic to pick? I started a fan based website on the Star Trek Voyager television series (yes, I will admit...

After a recent illness leading to the loss of my voice, I never realised how much value we place on being able to express ourselves on a daily basis. It was aggravating to know you had something to contribute, but not the means to do so. I’d often forget and attempt to yell out and but I was soon reminded of the dilemma after hearing the sound of  my squeaky little croak. As you could imagine, I was getting...

On Monday morning I decided to make a video of my morning ritual before heading to work to start the week off. I’ve always loved getting the camera out and being the cameraman.  However, ever since I was a young child I’ve avoided being the one featured on screen. When I look back at all the footage of our home movies, if I wasn’t being the camera person, then I’d always quickly duck out of scene! So...
