Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
Donald Trump has done it again. Instead of answering a question, he’s picked a fight. Yet this target wasn’t an American rival or a late-night comedian — it was Australian journalist John Lyons. The ABC reporter asked about Trump’s wealth - and instead of dealing in facts, Trump reached for the oldest trick in his... Continue Reading →
I’m confident there’ll be another relationship in my future. Not in a rushed or desperate way, just a steady belief that connection comes around again when you’re ready for it. And when it does, I’ll be walking into it with a clearer idea of what matters most. For me, that means keeping communication up front... Continue Reading →

A few months ago, after a life-changing moment, I culled over... Continue Reading →
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 →
I have found a question that needs a longer answer than just a few words: Daily writing promptWhat do you think gets better with age?View all responses I’ve lived enough years now to see the truth behind the old saying: Some things really do get better with age. Here’s what I’ve found actually gets better... Continue Reading →
