Reflecting on the craziness of International Women's Day.
Reflecting on the craziness of International Women's Day last week, I've been thinking about all of my experiences from moments of soaring highs, where women's voices echoed triumphantly on stage, and through my social media pages, and then there were the lows, where we were reminded of the entrenched barriers that we still have to work on dismantling.
What do you think of when you look at this sculpture?
What do you think of when you look at this sculpture? You know what I immediately thought of when I first saw it about 5 years ago... my career in the health sector 😂 well anyone working in the health and community sector actually!
What's a compass got on a map? Well, here's how I see it.
A map is precise, with marked terrains and specific locations, offering clear, step-by-step directions on how to reach a destination. In contrast, a compass equips you with a tool to navigate in the right direction, steering you towards your goal or purpose - your "north star."
Do you trust me?
Would you trust me if we were working on a board together? Does this mean we will always like each other and always agree? Hopefully the answer to the first two questions is yes (for those of you who know me) but the answer to the final question is likely to be No.
Launceston Show Day
Launceston Show Day, which falls on the second Thursday in October, marks an annual tradition in my life. It's the green light to start my vegetable garden 🍅. You see, it's a well-known rule in Northern Tasmania that you can safely plant your veggies after Show Day to avoid the risk of frosts.

It’s not often that I receive a book in the mail and read the first 30 pages over my morning cup of tea (actually never)…. but this week it happened and I was so engaged in what I was reading the kids were late for school
Is physical activity good for you?
sk me ask me 🙋🏻♀️ YES is the answer. Do we need to prove it anymore? I would argue NO. We don’t need to prove it is good for you, but what we do need to do, is help communities find the best ways to support their people to be active.
Recently I have been thinking about energy.
During this time of year, I notice a slight decrease in my energy levels, and I often attribute it to the weather. The cold and darkness make me feel unmotivated. However, even on the frostiest mornings in Tassie, I try to shift my thinking and consider what drives my energy. In the past month or so we have been doing LOTS of workshops. These are workshops with passionate and motivated people all wanting to make a change somewhere in their lives, their organisation or their community.
