Mother and son holding hands

We capture the firsts, but what about the lasts?

November 24, 2020 By Tracey 2 Comments

Anchored in what felt the baby and toddler time warp,  I would think ahead to the future, because you know, ‘this to shall pass’ is the obligatory mother manta, and I would wonder what it would be like when there would be no more anxiety around sleeping, napping and wake times. No more smooshed sultanas…

I turned 50 and though I wasn’t feeling invisible, I felt irrelevant

September 7, 2020 By Tracey 6 Comments

I turned 50 on the weekend. When I was young, 50 sounded old, an inconceivable time far into the future. Yet here I am, at a milestone because so far so good that I’ve made it to this point. #halfacentury I hadn’t really thought too much about it, age being just a number and there…

This too shall pass, but in the meantime

March 20, 2020 By Tracey Leave a Comment

In recent days, very recent days, there has been a shift. A mood of eerie surrealism and a sense of being unmoored from reality.

A friendship manifesto (the revised edition)

February 19, 2020 By Tracey Leave a Comment

Quite a few years ago I wrote a friendship manifesto.  I had been thinking of friendships a bit at the time and had just gone to my 30 year school reunion and so I was reflecting on life long friendships and those that I had that were more recent and those that had evolved. Today…
