Capture the Colour
COLOUR Our world enjoys the full rainbow spectrum of fresh, vibrant, explosive, life-force colours. Amazingly, there are only three primary colours ~ Red, Blue & Yellow – from which all other colours are mixed. The complementary colours, often referred to as being on the ‘other side of the colour wheel’, are simply two of these colours […]
Deadlines Are Lifesavers
Deadlines send shivers down my spine. Why? It’s not the deadline itself. The finish line is where all the glory happens – and it’s time for celebration. But if you have a deadline, you also have to start. And that’s the wriggle worthy part. Where the true discomfort lays ~ It’s the start-line ~ more than the dead-line. […]
Wagging Work… or, Seize the Day!
It started like any other Monday at our Journey Jottings island office. Phil, our Customer Service Manager, was making telephone calls to some of our 500 or so retailers across Australia to check stock levels of our Journey Jottings products … Updating records in the database, creating invoices and passing them onto to the packing section […]

Cultural Exchanges
Cultural exchanges in Australia ~ I was in Brisbane last week ~ And with business done… I couldn’t resist popping into the Queensland Art Gallery for a quick look! It fascinates me how they’re able to have such a beautiful big water feature in amongst their delicate art works! For the longevity of the exhibits the […]
Ron Mueck Exhibition
When Ron Mueck’s exhibition at GOMA (Gallery of Modern Art) came to Brisbane… I went on the opening day! It was an extraordinary experience of observing human forms; finding oneself staring transfixed at bodily details. Peering into the worlds of human beings frozen in time. At times the gallery crowd became part of the scene. The Wild […]
Blue Moon
A ‘blue‘ moon? Not literally of course! The term ‘blue’ moon in recent times has come to refer to the second of two full moons occurring in a single calendar month. This can only happen when there is a full moon early in the month so as to allow for the twenty nine and a half […]
