I’ve mentioned before we don’t really have the traditional four seasons here in South East Queensland. But we certainly have different times of the year. There’s definitely winter (mid to late May until late August), and summer (anytime from mid-late September to late March). Then there are the seasons before winter and before summer. We’re […]

Next Tuesday (May 21) is World Meditation Day. So I thought I’d offer a free online group meditation session. If you’ve not tried meditation before… this is a good opportunity to give it a go in the comfort of your own home. Or maybe you’ve tried it in the past, but found your mind drifting

When I was teaching journalism we always used to joke that there’s a day for everything. But it’s true. International Coffee Day. International Face and Body Art Day. Seriously, look them up if you don’t believe me! With a little bit of research the students could find what day it was, and as long as
I found myself getting really frustrated at a website last night. My husband had forgotten to order something, and so asked me to do it while he drove home from work. I’d never used the site before so he had to guide me. “You can login top right,” he said. “Where?” “Top right, where it

Because I really do appreciate my husband. Especially over the past few months following my foot surgery, he really has been

I love doing puzzles. All sorts – whether it be jigsaw puzzles, Sudoku, Wordle, quizes – whatever. I do them on paper as well as online, but every day without fail I do at least one puzzle. I get a daily Sudoku challenge on my phone, but if I miss it I’ll go and seek
Starting Friday April 5th 2024 I will be starting some new in person meditation classes at the Albany Creek scout hut. These are casual classes ($10 per person) that you can just turn up for – but it would be great if you could register your interest please: ann@marvellousmeditations.com The classes are very relaxed, seated

A friend recently shared a letter – apparently written by Sir Richard Branson – about happiness. I say ‘apparently’ because I know so many things shared on social media supposedly written or endoresed by someone famous are often nothing to do with that person. So I did a bit of digging around, and it didn’t
March 21 is Harmony Day. Well it is in Australia. Elsewhere around the world it’s known as the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It was created by the UN following the Sharpeville massacre in 1960 where 69 unarmed black South Africans were gunned down by police. Harmony Day was introduced
