Just to let you know

Have a wonderful holiday and New Year 2023. I will be back to let you know how it is all going but for now, going into a creative zone.

Time is so precious I am taking a hiatus from my public platforms to put in some hard yards.

Happy Holidays 2023

Some highlights for the year. Inspiring and using poetry and story to make it through these times.

Following the Crow Song

Writing has truly enriched me life. A number of collaborations, with Fairy Tale Society, QLD Writers Centre, Diaspora sisters, Vacen and a panel for social justice hosted by School of Social Work Queensland. Loved catching up with SCBWI friends. One day will I make it to picture book publication, or will it be middle grade or YA.

It is wonderful to be heard. This was the year of panels!

Threads of my life, Fairy Tale friends recently attending a show from Eliane, Townsville days memories with Stephen who knew us in the early days of our marriage, Writing Buddy Maria, what a gem! Fairy Tale and Diaspora friends supporting public speech given on social Justice. Chikako always checks up on me, and patiently waits for a visit from the very busy Perkins family. And it’s a delight to connect also with some other families we are close to as well.

Some of this year Highlights

It’s been a busy year, with four panels, meet ups with the Pasifika Baha’i Group, SCWIBI, South Australian Contacts for the Uncle Fred Murray Story, seeing friends I haven’t seen in years, and working on several teams including the QLD writers centre management committee.

Some of my favourite times have been being immersed into the stories and cultures of people from all over the world. This collage represents some of that journey.

And there were times when some of these dear friends fed me, cheered me, or dreamt and planned with me. Forever grateful for your amazing friendships, collaborations, and for just being you. There will be more of these panels as I remember the year that was.
