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.

" You have to know where you come from -to know where you are going?"

Brooke and Simon's 1st Wedding Anniversary.

Time is accelerating by at an alarming rate it is the 29th November already and a year today since Brooke's wedding, how time flies. Brooke and Simon went out for dinner and left Summer Joy with Bianca to baby-sit; their first outing together alone since Summer was born. They went to a steak restaurant which Brooke said was really nice and they had a couple of glasses of wine for dinner to wash it down. Brooke said all they talked about was Summer and eyed of every child in the vicinity both were keen to get home to their precious one. Because it is their 1st Anniversary and traditionally paper Simon got Brooke a star for their anniversary which comes with a certificate, Brooke was thrilled being a star lover and science fiction fan. When she said Simon got her a star my first thought was he paid for a tattoo for her to add to the tiny two tatts on her back to symbolise each other, I thought the star was going to be for Summer but not this time.

May they both live long & prosper!
