    The Front Row Review 

    Deciding who gets a front row seat in the movie that is your life is a tricky one. Friends change, lovers deflect, egos inflate, eyes open, lust conquers, death knocks, jobs morph, travel calls, masks drop, strategies shift, needs flip, kids drift, hearts evolve. You know, life happens? While we are certain that CHANGE is…

  • Something “Fishy”

    I was eating a prawn and avocado salad at 9am on a Friday morning while driving.   I rarely eat salad. I NEVER eat salad in the morning. I should have known it was going to be a strange day.   My hair was dirty and the salon could not take me for a wash…

  • “Not Your Business” 

    I was sure that the woman being insulted was in a bad space. She didn’t flinch. She just continued to staple notes together while her CEO told the people standing in a circle having coffee that she was an “incapable, erratic nutcase” that needed to be “babied“. The spitting cow had no children. So, I…

  • Thank You (The most powerful prayer) 

    I was staring blankly out of the window. A storm was brewing and the wind was angry, looking like her man was screwing her best friend. I enjoyed observing the drama. Drama watching has been my solace for the longest time, although I like to call it “observation”. A spot of research and development, if…

  • What makes YOU smile? (You are Enough)

    I received an email last week telling me that my poem “YOU are enough” had been pinned to a wall. A real wall in a real office that did not belong to me (or any member of my family). Do you know what that means to someone like me?   Firstly, it sows panic. It…

  • The Sandwich That Saved My Life 

    What makes YOU smile? Today I recalled a lovely Saturday morning memory.  We always accompanied my dad on his Saturday morning errands. We hated the hot car and the long time we had to sit close together. My siblings and I hatedddddd sitting close together.  The first stop was the bank. It would take ages.…

  • Correction

    Dear Readers Please excuse the typo in the first line of the story: Do YOU Over Promise & Under Deliver? It’s not the kind of thing that happens often but hey, that shit does happen to the best of us. For a perfectionist like me, I can’t job move on.  So, I assure you, quality…

  • Trust Issues

    Although they were all complete strangers to me and I was merely an observer sitting at the next table, I was seriously stunned.

  • Jealousy is a Disease

    The notion of the “evil eye” is not new to me. Growing up Catholic, one of the first things we learnt (after Adam and Eve and the snake with the apple trick) was the “Ten Commandments”. One of them goes “Thou shalt not covet your neighbour’s wife” and I remember it well. I also saw…
