About Me

My photo
Sydney, NSW, Australia
I am a 49 year old Indigenous Woman, proud mother of twin girls Bianca & Brooke hopelessly devoted Nana to Riley, Summer Joy & wife to David.

Koories come in all colours

I know I'm a Koori

I've learned it from my kin
But sometimes I'm questioned
On the colour of my skin.


I'm questioned on this by both
Black and White
My culture and identity are my legal right.


My Aboriginality
I've searched for so long
But the doubts of others
Make it hard to belong.


If you wouldn't make judgments
On just what you see
Then, maybe by chance
You'll see the real me.

Summer Joy day 3.

I started work at 6am this morning I absolutely hate early morning shifts but at the moment they come in handy as I can finish work early and go to the hospital and visit Brooke and Summer. I arrived at the hospital and run into Catherine who had her baby boy William the day before on her loungeroom floor, she only spent the one night in hospital and was already being discharged. This is her third child so obviously it gets easier.

Summer slept the whole visit and seemed to enjoy nestling into my shoulder. She has jaundice today and apparently that makes babies sleep more then normal. Brooke still in pain but has been moved from the Acute Care Ward to the Paddington Centre. While I was visiting, Chrissy and her husband Ben arrived to visit Brooke and Baby then Bianca turned up and as Bink and I were leaving all the Sheppards arrived.
