Passive competitive behaviour?
No doubt everyone is feeling the effects of over indulging from the last few days, but also, hopefully, of being loved and cared about. The last couple of days have definitely filled up my tank of hopefulness and joy, but as I have had more time than usual to ponder on life’s events, I felt the…
Changing minds about dementia…
The late Richard Taylor PhD continues to inspire and motivate many people with and without dementia around the world, and will always be for me, the person ‘who saved my life’. Meaning, the person who showed by example, it was possible to live with dementia, and I did not just have to go home and die…
Feedback… for better or worse
When I am conscious, I strive to be a nice person, but, I also always strive to tell the truth, and to provide (positive and sometimes negative) feedback on things done well, or comments on things I may feel or think could or should be done differently. That does not mean I am right, merely that I have an opinion, which…
Living well, living better, or living beyond dementia?
Wishing you all a happy weekend! As I have been so slack with blogging, I thought I would reblog a few of my posts from my Living Beyond Dementia site, which I think will need to be migrated over to this site anyway, or closed down. I am pretty sure I also need a pro bono web…
Living in an online, global ‘country town’
Is living with dementia like living with Asperger’s?

Ok, so it may sound a little odd that I am missing the wooden bird in this picture, a bird I named Jonathan Livingston Seagull more than 30 years ago! I sent him on his way last week, via a transport courier service headed for the National Museum of Canberra, as he is going on tour!…
Australian Of The Year, South Australia
It was an honour to win the esteemed Australian of The Year Award in SA for 2017, and to now be representing South Australia in January 2017. As a finalist last year, it was more than amazing to be nominated again, and even more incredible to not only be a finalist again this year, but to…
What if it’s not dementia?
What if it’s not dementia? was written for the Aged Care Guide, published with them on 19 October 2016. I feel it is important to share it here as well, as there is so much fear mongering in the media about dementia, it is perhaps the cause of dementia now being the most feared disease of…

In case you missed it…
There were a few who reminded me my website is not a place of Medical Advice, which I make very clear on my home page, which I will add up from here: “No Medical Advice: Information and other content included on this Site is for general informational and educational purposes only and is not meant to…
