I’ve been hearing this for some time.. it’s hard to get away from them when you work in retail.

Easter is already here… and just like that, the year is flying by.

And if you’re anything like most women, you’ve been giving your time, your energy, your love to everyone else — making sure everything and everyone is okay.

But here’s the question that often gets left behind…

What about you?

For me… it even took getting breast cancer to stop.
And truthfully, even then — I kept going.

Because that’s what we do, isn’t it?
We push through. We hold it together. We keep showing up.

But it did make me look deeper.

Deeper at how I was living.
Deeper at what really mattered.
Deeper at what I wanted — not just what everyone else needed from me.

So let this be your moment —

✨ To check in with yourself
✨ To want more
✨ To choose something just for you

Not someday. Not when things calm down.
Now.

Because as Leah Miller says in The Women… sometimes you have to back yourself.

The year isn’t slowing down.
So maybe it’s time you stopped waiting… and started choosing.

Even now, women still carry so much pressure to be perfect.

I see it at weddings all the time. The dress, the flowers, the timeline, the photos… the quiet feeling that everything has to be just right.

But the truth is, many of us were raised to believe that being good meant being organised, accommodating, beautiful, calm… and never dropping the ball.

So when people say “just relax and enjoy it,” it isn’t always that simple.

Letting go is a practice.
A soft unlearning.

And the beautiful thing I often see during ceremonies is that moment when it finally happens… when the bride looks at her person, laughs, and remembers what the day is actually about.

Not perfection.
Just love.
I’m getting better at it with age.. but it’s still hard at times .. how about you?

Women loving women will always be powerful.

As Kate Winslet has spoken about so beautifully — when we stop tearing ourselves apart and start standing confidently in who we are, everything shifts.

Love yourself first.
Not in an arrogant way — in a grounded, “I know my worth” way.

And from that place?
Be complimentary. Be generous with praise. Lift the women around you.

There is room for all of us.
Confidence isn’t competition.
It’s collaboration.

When women feel secure within themselves, they don’t compare — they celebrate.

I never expected that something like this would replace our afternoon TV and teenage phone scrolling - but it did 🎨

Paint by numbers.

What started as a “just try it” moment has become our little ritual. Instead of zoning out in front of a screen, we sit side by side, filling in tiny sections of colour, watching a picture slowly come to life.

And the best part? We spend quiet time together

No notifications.
No noise.
Just quiet music, soft conversation, and the simple joy of creating something together.

It’s funny how something so small can feel so grounding.

In a world that constantly pulls at us, this has become our pause.

And I love it more than I can say. You can pick them up for as little as $5-10 at spotlight, Kmart and online. You don’t have to be an artist to create the magic ..

After 18 years as a marriage officiant I’ve come to realise that finding someone to walk beside you on the happiest days is beautiful…
but finding someone who will stay when the days are heavy — that’s everything.

It’s easy to hold hands in the sunshine.
The real gift is the person who reaches for you in the dark, who sits with you in silence, who doesn’t try to fix the storm but refuses to leave you in it.

Love isn’t proven in the celebrations.
It’s proven in hospital waiting rooms, financial stress, family loss, self-doubt, and the ordinary Tuesdays when you’re both exhausted.

Marriage is choosing each other not just when it’s light —but when it’s messy, uncertain, and hard.

Because the truest kind of love says,
“I’m not just here for your joy. I’m here for your becoming”.

I decided to start this page - for anyone interested in all of the new and interesting information I am learning while on my cancer filled journey. I truly thought I had seen and heard everything while I watched my mother fight cancer for 16 years but now I have information on both sides - the medical and the natural. I have decided to go natural instead of chemo and Tamoxifen and hope to inspire you along the way. “Little Red Socks" title came from these little red socks they give out in hospital and how they touched me in ways I never thought possible.
