Asserting a life apart from work

When I first started writing, it was an attempt to remember to live. That I had values and beliefs that weren’t informed by ROI or tactical advantage and I am not defined by profit/loss ratios. There are some things I do love, just because.  Lately, I’ve noticed a disturbing trend. A regression, if you will, in attitude. I’m still making sure I explore the social and … Read More Asserting a life apart from work

Legendary Notebook used by artists and thinkers…

I’m rather partial to a great notebook. A number of my friends have included their moleskin’s as don’t-leave-home-without-it. So I can imagine the Moleskin app for iPhone’s is going to be very popular. Moleskin is inspired by the humble black notebook used by a swathe of sparkling geniuses of the 19th and 20th century. This modest notebook captured the ideas and stories of the likes … Read More Legendary Notebook used by artists and thinkers…

Brisbane get’s A Locals Guide

I am currently in love with creative idea’s agency, MAP magazine’s new app – A Local’s Guide. What I love is the app builds a community around what is great to see and do in Brisbane. For example, want to see what local’s have recommended for Brunch? Try the french toast breakfast from Au Cirque (it’s delightful!) or see the Mondo Organic’s breakfast cocktail … Read More Brisbane get’s A Locals Guide

Chick Flick Bonanza

As part of my “Youthful New Year” campaign I set about planning the ultimate girls weekend movie marathon. Invite some friends round, play some movies. What could be simpler right? There is a whole host of chick-flicks to choose from, almost too many to make sense of and I’m promising the ultimate experience. I’m starting to feel the pressure. The idea is to be … Read More Chick Flick Bonanza

Brunching with the girls

I met the girls for Brunch this Sunday. It was a casual affair, with friends coming and going as you please. Now, I’m not, nor have I ever been, a morning person. But when it comes to a leisurely brunch with good coffee and great friends I’m powerless to resist. I love cradling my coffee in both hands – gripping the cup tightly. Feeling the warmth … Read More Brunching with the girls

Apres le Deluge

Brisbane – January 2011. I was directly affected by the floods, although I was extremely fortunate. It’s been a while since I’ve posted and I’m attributing  this to a rather significant event in my city. It’s taken me quite a while to gather my thoughts and process everything that happened. 2011 Brisbane Floods | Photos courtesy of Moi The (imaginatively named) Brisbane River broke … Read More Apres le Deluge

Breaking the ice with Eva

I never keep or kept a journal. I always felt journaling to be self-indulgent, and a non-productive use of emotional energy and time.  The irony of committing to a blog about myself is not lost on me… nor on my friends.  But… I have learnt the value of experiences that don’t contribute to ROI or KPI’s or business acronyms of any sort. I have also learnt … Read More Breaking the ice with Eva
