Today is the last day of 2011. As I’m sure many of you would agree, this is somewhat incomprehensible because holy-bucket-wasn’t-it-just-February-last-week? For me, 2011 rocketed by in a heady whirlwind of monumental change, growth, and laughter, and I am grateful for every moment that has helped me create a life and self no longer plagued [...]

Thank you for your fantastimical and not-soul-destroying responses to my cavorting video post! Just so you know, my slow-motion moves are available for birthday parties, weddings, anniversary dinners, and work shindigs. My imaginary agent tells me that my imaginary bookings line has been ringing non-stop in an imaginary way, so if you want to hire [...]

Thank you to everyone who sent me (and my family) such wonderful Christmas wishes via my last two posts! I hope that you all had a wonderful, wonderful Christmas (or other holiday), filled with happiness, laughter, deliciousness, hugs, and fortune-telling fish.

Not “woe is me, woe is me, help me push my liver back into my spleen and comfort me with stories of four-legged rainbows or else I’ll cry” sick, more just “post-conference, post-multiple work deadlines, post-final gospel concert, post-friend’s wedding in Sydney, post-discovering my [...]

Several months ago, I received a lovely parcel of chocolate all the way from Germany. As I carefully opened up the padded envelope and did a happy heart-dance over the two marzipan chocolates and two Vivani chocolate bars hiding within, I paused to think about how generous it was of Kath – my dear thesis-conquering, [...]

A friend who comes to all of your Canberra gospel concerts to watch you sing, and who buys both you and herself tickets to the Soweto Gospel Choir as your early birthday present. A friend who laughs when you clown around before the performance and then puts her arms around you when you start sobbing [...]

I loved reading your responses to the question in my last post about what your Spirit Animal would be; so much creativity out there amongst you! If you’d like to spend more time pondering this question, have a go at the quiz that my ever-quippy gospel friend Mike sent me. Apparently, I’m a swan. Hopefully [...]

In my very first class at the University of Virginia during my exchange year in 2007, we were asked to introduce ourselves by describing our spirit animal. The answers varied. One person said that her spirit animal would be a panda because she slept a lot. Another said his would be a dolphin because he [...]
