What is it that Ryan O’Neal and Selma Blair have in common? Not much I would think, although 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon tells me it’s Antonio Banderas. I am a bit late to the Selma Blair standing ovation that has happened this week in spoonie social media. For the non-spoonies that don't know what … Continue reading Canedy Crush
Funding and Games
This week while running into the local IGA supermarket for some ice cream, *coughs* kale. I made super quick eye contact with a fundraising individual right near the entrance. This is something I try to avoid. Don't get me wrong I will support many a cause, but the methods that these outsourcing agencies go to … Continue reading Funding and Games
It’s not about the money, money, money..
Actually, it really is. One of my New Year goals is to get in better financial shape. In Australia, that means following the advice of our monetary Marie Kondo. Scott Pape - The Barefoot Investor. He is at guru status now, still holding on to his title as Australia’s best selling author. For those playing … Continue reading It’s not about the money, money, money..
I said a hip hop a happy to the new year
And unpause. Well hello fellow Kickers and Hoopers. As mentioned in previous posts Kicking Hoops started its life as a university assignment, but in time it became more of a pet project. Now the semester is over, the grades are in, and it's time to get back to work. Today was my New Year resolution … Continue reading I said a hip hop a happy to the new year

Fortunately, there was nothing … Continue reading The B Word

In a past life I was a blogger with a little following and this assignment has reminded me of how much I enjoy it. Along with some of my … Continue reading The C Word
Forest Bathing and Dr Who
If there is one thing we can trust Scotland to get dead-on it is the best Doctor. David Tenant — am I right? Time Lords aside, the other doctors in Scotland of the GP variety have recently teamed up with the National Health Service in Shetland to prescribe nature to patients with chronic illness. Along with … Continue reading Forest Bathing and Dr Who
Side Selfies and Word Porn
The Internet is the gift that keeps on giving. Lolcatz and Grumpy Cats, the home of Chuck Norris facts. Challenges involving cinnamon and ice buckets, dubious dance moves of the dabbing and flossing variety. In addition to the memes and the challenges — and the dances banned from my house — the World Wide Web … Continue reading Side Selfies and Word Porn
But you don’t kick hoops?
I know right? Don’t let the avatar fool you. I don’t play basketball either. Shooting some b-ball after school doesn’t mean much to me outside the theme song from Fresh Prince. I developed the little adage ‘Kicking Hoops’ as a reference to my lack of sporting prowess that has plagued me since childhood. Somewhere in … Continue reading But you don’t kick hoops?
