The arguments on my friend’s Facebook page descend into name-calling. It is to be expected, of course. She’s been talking about religion.

10 Reasons Why Marriage is Not For Me

by KatieP, in category Heart | Love & Romance

I’ve come up with my own reasons why Mr Smith’s kind of marriage isn’t for me.

the view

It wasn’t until we moved this weekend that I realised that I needed to get away. It feels like I’ve cut the cord to my old life and now I am free. Free to start afresh where there are no memories of my old life, in my old suburb.

Warriewood Beach by Nigel Howe

Next weekend, my boyfriend and I will move to a beach house on a hill on Sydney’s northern beaches. From the lounge, kitchen and bedroom we will have views over the park, past the trees and out to the Pacific.

The Worst Thing Imaginable

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness
