The spark is finally back: My vlogging journey has been reinvigorated, lit by transformation and creative fire. Why/How? My personal life has recently shifted in unexpected ways, and the the world around us has had some massive upheavals. Consequently I refocused my blogging mid 2025 to write about those subjects. Yet I’ve wanted to return... Continue Reading →
A Message To Young Couples: Talk Often, Openly, & Honestly
If I could give one piece of advice to younger couples just starting out, it would be this: Talk. Talk about everything. Not just the big-ticket stuff like money, family, or plans for the future - include the small, awkward things too. The things that feel too petty or too complicated to bring up. Your...

Living with XXY (Alone): Learning to Be Myself
Since 2020, awareness around neurodiversity has broadened. It’s no longer hidden behind clinical jargon or whispered confessions. More people now recognise that Autism exists on a spectrum that touches nearly everyone in some way. That shift has helped me drop the shame and instead embrace the idea that understanding ourselves is a strength, not a... Continue Reading →
Why VentraIP is My Web Host of Choice
Alright, here’s the deal: running my primary website - http://www.ezcreate.com.au - isn't always as simple as I'd like it to be. Random downtime, upload speeds, refresh rate, easy portal or FTP access, and over the years there have been various issues with other hosts I have dealt with. Including selling out and closing down!

No more scribbling on napkins or searching for pens that don’t work. You just speak, and there it is. Your truth, staring back... Continue Reading →
Making Annoying Speech Patterns Work For You
Sometimes I catch myself mid-conversation realising I’ve veered off course, lost momentum, or just plain confused the poor bugger trying to keep up. Whether I’m rambling, mumbling, or being a bit too clever with my words, I know I’m not alone. We all have our quirks when we speak. While some habits are better off... Continue Reading →
Letting Go: The Value of Decluttering My Life
A thought crossed my mind last night whilst listening to Jimmy Carr chatting with Stephen Bartlett about his reflections on life, particularly about all of us wanting more, yet less discontent in the moment, and enjoying the moments we have the chance to live. A few months ago, after a life-changing moment, I culled over... Continue Reading →
Rewriting My Life with Better Categories & NO Hashtags!
You may not have noticed: There are NO MORE TAGS on my blog. Yes - I deleted the lot. Why? Because most were words within the article - which effectively made them duplicates, therefore redundant. What replaced them? Just honest categories that represent where I’ve been - and where I’m going now that I am... Continue Reading →
From “Bạn khỏe không, bạn ơi?” to “How are ya mate?”
I recently offered to help a new Vietnamese friend with her English. Simple enough, right? As soon as the words left my mouth, I realised I might’ve stepped into something bigger than I expected. This is going to be a journey filled with confusion, cultural curve-balls, and the occasional case of mutual head-scratching. While I’ve... Continue Reading →
