Equilibrium – a state in which opposing forces of influences are balanced. In economics, physics and chemistry the term equilibrium is used to define balance – a system in which competing influences are balanced.

Juggling Monkeys & Herding Kittens
Herding Kittens, juggling monkeys - yes that pretty much sums up parenthood, in the early years at least. Haven't reached the teens or tweens years yet! Herding kittens I think sometimes might even be easier. As it is, gone are the days of deciding to go out and then merely grabbing your bag and keys and… Continue reading Juggling Monkeys & Herding Kittens
The Curated Life
I've always thought being a Curator would be an interesting job. Great job title too! Effectively you take care of objects - artwork, collectibles, historic items. I imagine beautiful objects - the Mona Lisa perhaps, works of Monet, Michelangelo's statues. Ok probably bits of broken pottery that is thousands of years old. Still, I imagine life as a… Continue reading The Curated Life
The Aspirational Life (or handbag!)
Walking past a department store counter it caught my eye. How could it not - a beautiful delicate blue chevron patterned bag. Eye catching and gorgeous. And that was before I picked it up and appreciated the practicalities of the design. You will be relieved, if not surprised to know, that I put it back… Continue reading The Aspirational Life (or handbag!)

Bad enough being on the rollercoaster with the dips and climbs let alone being stuck at the top. Although, given life is… Continue reading Stuck on a Rollercoaster
Musings of the Night

Whether it be financial or health worries or work stress, the thoughts can feel overpowering. Waking the next morning, the light of day makes them easier to… Continue reading Musings of the Night

Higher Ground
Unusually today I was awoken by fog horns in the distance. Unusual as I live a little inland. Unusual for this time of year as well. But the sound of ship fog horns drifted over my sleepy suburb nonetheless. Opening my blinds I saw the fog lying lightly over the houses. The visibility ground level… Continue reading Higher Ground
And the soul felt its worth…
"Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth." I love this line from the carol O Holy Night. Our Soul wants to feel of worth, of value. And we all search for that worth. We can rush around life looking for it in status, possessions and prestige, in appearances and position. But inevitably they… Continue reading And the soul felt its worth…
