In the late 1980’s I worked on Hinchinbrook Island Resort in Far North Queensland, as governess to the manager’s children. The children were aged two and four and each day we went on exciting adventures, exploring the island and each day it was unanimous that we return home in the afternoon to watch a movie.…
This 3D animated movie tells the tale of ‘The Croods’, a family surviving the uncertainties of existence through the unwavering protection of their father, Grug (voice by Nicholas Cage). Until now, that is! Now that the daughter, Eep (voice by Emma Stone) has reached her rebellious teenage years, she challenges that which has gone before,…
Today I am launching a new blog – a little Movie Matter! I have loved movies ever since I was a little girl and went to see “Munsters Go Home’ at the now ‘non-existent’ Art Deco Glenelg Cinema Centre. The thing I remember most about that movie was how red all the characters tongues were,…
When we are young, until age seven, we live in the realm of our IMAGINATION, absorbing the world and all it has to offer.

At the beach this morning I observed a young family making the most of the morning cool before the heat of the day. Splashing knee high in the water was Mum, Dad, son about two and a half and daughter about one and a half. From an idyllic, peaceful and playful scene emerged some light…
Natural order is an ever changing, ever evolving, fluid and never static phenomena that is consistently seeking balance. Our bodies and minds operate in a similar fashion. When a new piece of information is given to the brain it sets about finding the place where the new input ‘fits’ in amongst the pre-existing data, eternally…
When we are negatively triggered by someone or something, it is merely light being shone on an area that has previously been wounded or judged and remains ‘in the dark’ and unhealed. The trigger provides an opportunity to bring light and healing to whatever is unresolved, which in turn restores balance, peace and harmony to…
