    Pebble-power

    Ok, so I’m always ten steps behind the rest of the world when it comes to trends… I am what I am. But, the other day I came across the idea of “pebbling” and I fell in love. Now, please don’t hold me to account if all of this is…

  • What am I doing here?

    What am I doing here?

    While doing my regular blog-land roundabout I came across a blog called The Spectacled Bean and a post labelled “Home Sweet Home: do you know where you belong?” The post referred to an interactive website (OECD Better Life Index) where you can find out which country best suits you based…

  • Fond of fondue?

    Fond of fondue?

    Communal meals used to be all the rage when I was a kid.  Even right up to the global outbreak of Covid, sharing was caring.  Sure, there were ‘sneeze-guards’ at the all-you-can-eat buffet diners, but mostly, smorgasbords were common and cool, and tongs were preferred… but optional.  Now in our…

  • Find your WHO

    Find your WHO

    OK, confession time: I’m not really up on the whole DC comics or Marvel thing, or (yell at me now) what the difference between the two ‘worlds’ is… but… sometimes you find yourself “in” their world regardless. In Australia, one of our major supermarkets had a promotion a while back…

  • “Unleashing my inner power: Dare to dream”

    “Unleashing my inner power: Dare to dream”

    I’ve mentioned before that I spend most of my reading-time in Blog-land, but I do occasionally get out and about on Instagram and LinkedIn. It was over on LinkedIn that I met Amber Horrox from the United Kingdom who “helps migraine warriors find their voice” when she regularly writes for…

  • Laundry madness

    Laundry madness

    I’m not a huge fan of being a housewife.  That’s not to say I’m a prissy-princess either; I clean toilets with the rest of you.  It’s just that doing the same chores over and over can get a bit tedious.  Throw in some constant face-pain and waves of nausea and…

  • “The Migraine Brain”

    “The Migraine Brain”

    “I’d rather die than get another migraine!” – that’s the dramatic start to the introduction of “The Migraine Brain” (2020) by Dr Carolyn Bernstein.  It was attention getting, no doubt, but it also got me immediately on edge.  I recognized the sentiment, sure, but I also think of that form…

    8 or infinity? (It’s a matter of perspective!)

    Today marks my 8-month anniversary of blogging. On one hand it seems a little amount of time compared to the timespans of so many other blogs that I visit and enjoy… on the other hand, it seems like a big achievement for a chronic pain “sicko” like me! I say…

    Studio Migraine: a voice for women with migraine

    Since starting my Mindful Migraine Blog in mid-January of this year, I have spent as much time (if not more) reading other people’s blogs as I have writing on my own.  As part of those “travels” to other places near and far I have met many, many wonderful people (chances…
