We have found a brilliant new home for Billy – it’s still perhaps in the ‘trial’ phase you could say, but it already sounds like he has (literally) burrowed his way into a heart or two. More on that in a week or so. Huge thank you to the 1000 people who read the blog post about Billy. 8211; 2 –. Run by my great mate Becky Horace. Definite...

My Literary Entrails | Craic & Banter
https://craicandbanter.wordpress.com/my-literary-entrails
Musing on philosophy, healthcare and womanhood. I’ve written a few things, that a few people seem to have read and perhaps enjoyed…or not. Don’t dig too deeply. My pieces at the UoL Student Blog:. Gratitude for Leah, My Faithful Companion For Four Exams. Facebookers Annonymous… Is It Time? Here’s a Mistake I Prepared Earlier. This post contains traces of blatant self-promotion! The ‘thrill’ of really knuckling down, and thumbs up for flexibility. Distracted by putting theory into practice. Notify me of n...

Aid worker or Mama? | Craic & Banter
https://craicandbanter.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/aid-worker-or-mama
Musing on philosophy, healthcare and womanhood. July 15, 2015. Aid worker or Mama? Being an international aid or development professional AND being a mother is not a particularly common combination. Become a mother is definitely harder to come by. And the challenges aren’t non-existent for the blokes either. Some women decide from the outset that they are comfortable not to have kids or perhaps they consider it a sacrifice that they’re willing to make. They consciously pursue a fulfilling caree...But I s...

The Truth of the Tied Knot | Craic & Banter
https://craicandbanter.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/the-truth-of-the-tied-knot
Musing on philosophy, healthcare and womanhood. July 20, 2015. The Truth of the Tied Knot. I’m not sure why I’ve been let inside all these marriages. I’m no marriage counsellor. The marriage that seems to have gone flat after becoming parents. The frequent and long separations for work. When did I grow up and find that these are not things happening to my parents’ friends, things I’d hear about in passing, but now they are happening around us? Behind the curtains, we’re all wrestling. She was so willing ...

Sages Left Unheard | Craic & Banter
https://craicandbanter.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/sages-left-unheard
Musing on philosophy, healthcare and womanhood. July 14, 2015. I guess I just don’t want to miss out on the real thing. While I stand ready to be humbled when I inevitably might cave under pressure, I still don’t want my son to miss out either. Cognizant of my capacity to get sucked into digital vortex, with all it’s greatness and expanse, I have been trying to pry myself away from it’s clutches for a while now. Some tools have really helped, like stayfocusd.com. To minimise my Facebook time, and Checky.

The Dog Situation | Craic & Banter
https://craicandbanter.wordpress.com/2015/06/28/the-dog-situation
Musing on philosophy, healthcare and womanhood. June 28, 2015. Sometimes you just reach your limit. You’ve re-worked it. You’ve ‘offered it up’. You’ve choraled all manner of assistance. You’ve outsourced. You’ve tried to look on the bright side. You’ve spent many a moment wondering, “is my life meant to come to this? It’s no exaggeration to say this has been our journey in recent months with our beloved pooch, Billy. As a family, it has become. We are very sad to say that we need to find him a new home.

What is (her) greatness? | Craic & Banter
https://craicandbanter.wordpress.com/2015/05/27/what-is-her-greatness
Musing on philosophy, healthcare and womanhood. May 27, 2015. What is (her) greatness? I’m not sure if I should start writing this post. The baby is going to stir soon and need a feed. And Lord knows I need all the sleep I can get. But then the question echoes. 8220;What is greatness? Alice von Hildebrand, an extraordinary woman and philosopher, recently asked this question in a commencement address. Can we even begin to ask? Water is coming out! 8220;You are going to be really fine. Baby is going to...
