Thief In The Night
To the thief in the night that took and replicated what once was mine: Honestly, I feel kind of bad for you. It’s funny, because we hardly know each other. I only know of you through the magazines you’ve written and the broadcasts you have televised in the past — as well as through the public mentions of you from your show business connections there.

Why Didn't Anyone Tell Us
Men, move along. This is not for you. This is for the women. I was forty-five when I began menopause. It is pretty young for that to be going on in a woman’s life, but I had undiagnosed PCOS, my entire life. Thank you to all the gynecologists I had seen my entire life. That in itself should encourage women to keep seeking second opinions, especially when you are not getting correct answers or any at all.

I wanted to title this something different, but worried that my chosen title might cause problems entering the United States in the future so this is the new title. It's the greatest title. No one has ever written a title better than this. (All titles unrelated to content).
Let me be honest. I am finding this difficult. Now, I like a challenge, a stretch, a bit of an obstacle course. “Write about the decline of the British Empire in the form of a narrative poem in which your protagonist is an artichoke” I read, and flex my fingers. “Write a haiku to evoke the sensation of sibilance using only the first half of the alphabet.” “Well”, I think to myself, “this should be fun.” But “write about a system that isn’t working”? A system that isn’t working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isn’t working? The sexiest system that isn’t working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady “all on” setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesn’t work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights when…. When…. When….

Why Bother With The Degree?. Honorable Mention in A System That Isn’t Working Challenge.
“So, as you can see from my resume, I’ve just completed my degree in Accounting and Finance. I worked part-time alongside it for three years, kept my position at work throughout, and was even a student ambassador during my third year-”

Staying sane in the insane world.
”It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” Jiddu Krishnamurti This quote has been one of my favourites since the moment I first laid my eyes on it. To me, it cuts right through the fog of the illusion of normality that permeates our lives. And since I am someone who has never felt (well) adjusted to this society, Krishnamurti’s words gifted me with the realisation that there isn’t anything inherently wrong with me.

Facebook is Dead. Runner-Up in A System That Isn’t Working Challenge.
Or at least it feels like it's dead, doesn’t it? Any system that is not maintained and improved but simply left to its own devices, will enter a stage of entropy (natural, slow decay, degradation, and dilapidation) and eventually die.

What I Want
Yes, I’m thin now. It does not mean that I want marriage or a boyfriend. I also happen to be straight (heterosexual), so a woman’s advances would not be welcome. Oh, and I know I look better since I lost the weight so my standards are just as high. In other words, he’d better be damned good-looking or I won’t be interested. Don’t give me an old man when I could have a silver fox. Lesbians and bisexual women are considered rabble. So are ugly men.

Gospel of Social Media Madmen: A High-Def Resurrection
Alright, you beautiful, screen-addled maniacs, gather 'round the digital fire for a tale of pure, LCD madness. I just watched a soul-crushing paradox unfurl on my timeline: this colossal, hypocritical carnival barker just drops a fiery, logic-bombed clip, right? The very next slide? A pious, self-serving decree to 'free your mind from the digital shackles!'

The Weight of Goodbye
I remember that run as if it were only an hour ago. My dad had just passed away from Alzheimer’s. Walking into Mum’s house and seeing him lying there, I felt a tangle of confusion, embarrassment, and anger. I knew this day was coming, but it still managed to catch me off guard. Only the day before, I’d listened to him talking about his Navy days, his memory for the past always sharp, the present not so much. As I was about to leave, he stared at me, a long, unsettling look, as if he already knew he was on his way out. That moment is etched in my mind. I forced a cheerful goodbye.

Time
Ugh, that time of year again. Twice a year I dread these tow days. It creates upheaval and my body, as I get older, doesn’t approve. I don’t even know we are forced to hold on to something created during war time for wartime. Like any other government unposed tax, entitlement, or rule of law, once created and implemented, it’s a done deal. We are stuck with its misery. I’d rather they add a couple hours to everyday, so I can get everything I do, done, without pressure.

Eric Woodward Foundation Investigative Journalism Foundation Findings
The Investigative Journalism Foundation reported that Eric Woodward’s publicly promoted foundation did not match its original charitable presentation. Woodward had pledged to transfer about $55 million in real estate into a charitable structure, but the IJF found the properties remained tied to a for-profit company. The foundation was never registered as a charity, failed to prepare annual financial statements for years, reported only $8,117 in donations over five years, and showed troubling discrepancies in governance, event spending, and financial transparency.
