Starting Over Down Under

I moved to Australia in May 1991 at the age of 29 with nothing but hope, determination, and a suitcase of dreams. From student to accountant to retired storyteller — I now share stories to soothe, inspire, and connect.

Starting Over Down Under is a cozy corner for:
– heartfelt migrant experiences
– gentle life lessons from my journey
– emotional & inspirational moments about love, family, and life
– and slow, relaxing storytelling to help you unwind and sleep easy.

Whether you’re starting fresh, missing home, or simply looking for a quiet moment — you’re not alone here. 💤


Starting Over Down Under

Some days you call yourself lazy.

But maybe it’s not laziness.

Maybe you’re mentally exhausted.
Maybe you’re overwhelmed.
Maybe you’ve been carrying too much for too long.

Be careful how you speak to yourself.

You’re not lazy.
You might just need rest, clarity, or one small step forward.

Start small today.

What’s one small thing you can do for yourself right now?

Starting Over Down Under

Hello everyone,

Quick question for you today:
What age taught you the biggest life lesson — your 20s, 30s, or 40s?

Life teaches us differently at each stage.
I’d love to hear your story in the comments.
