Recording Life Seasons

In my writing and art I endeavor to capture the seasons of life.

The season of our lives changes as we move through life and experience all it means to be human. Whether I am writing a story, a novel or a simple poem, I endeavour to capture the essence of who we are, where we come from, and to whom we belong. In my art work it is the cycle of life and the changes in the yearly seasons I seek to capture.








There Is a Season

To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven,

A time to be born,

And a time to die,

A time to plant,

Amd a time to pluck what is planted,

A time to kill,

And a time to heal,

A time to break down,

And a time to build up,

A time to weep,

And a time to laugh,

A time to mourn,

And a time to dance,

A time to cast stones,

And a time to gather stones,

A time to embrace,

And a time to refrain from embracing,

A time to gain,

And a time to lose,

A time to keep,

And a time to throw away,

A time to tear,

And a time to sew,

A time to keep slience,

And a time to speak,

A time to love,

And a time to hate,

A time of war,

And a time of peace.

Every person has 1000 wishes, a cancer patient only has one: to be cured. I know that 97% will not post this as their status. Be one of the 3% who will, at least for an hour. For those who have died from cancer or are still fighting it ♥♥♥ :(

Thinking of you Brett and Erin

Blogging For Water

Today I am joining thousands of people around the world blogging for water. Millions of people are dying because they don't have access to CLEAN WATER. However sadly this is not only due to weather conditions. In the vast majority of cases it is due to political unrest, economic and land miss management. lack of education and poor use of farming practises.

CLEAN WATER is a basic Human Right,

In Australia we get up in arms if our taps

don't deliver hot WATER!

Imagine bathing in and drinking WATER

Full  of disease and bacteria everyday.

And yet for millions of people they have no choice!

Sadly for many it is due to WATER WARS!

Please sign my petition from my blog yesterday.

We hope that we can help you by giving you and all of the other parents, grandparents, siblings, relatives, and friends a special day of remembrance.

Worldwide Blog For Water Day


Water Wars!

One of the charities I support is

Samaritans Purse.

You may know them for their

Operation Christmas Child Annual

Christmas Shoe Box Appeal



But gifts without life are not enough 

And the source of life is WATER

However in some countries access to WATER

is controlled by Political Conflict 

and different ruling parties

controlling people's access to WATER.

The UN lists access to CLEAN WATER

as a basic human right.

However many in people living in

Third World Countries

are denied this basic human right

through conflict.

Darfur's Water Wars!


October 15th is Worldwide Blog For WATER Day
