Social Media Reality Check

February 25, 2026February 25, 2026 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

You may remember I wrote a few weeks ago about being off social media for a while. There were many reasons for this, mostly overwhelm and an ADHD diagnosis. But, one of the accumulative reasons was an ongoing viral video I mistakenly posted to my personal Instagram account and the response to it. I posted … Continue reading Social Media Reality Check

Adding My Voice to Research Study

February 12, 2026 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday morning I had an MS Teams meeting with a very lovely research student who is writing her Master's thesis on recent late diagnosis of ADHD in women aged 35-65 years old. I had responded to a flyer on an ADHD Facebook page requesting participants. As this area of research is reasonably new, and women … Continue reading Adding My Voice to Research Study

Who Am I?

February 3, 2026February 10, 2026 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

It's been a while since I've written anything, and I've been mostly absent from social media. I'm not sure I'd call it a mid-life crisis, but I'm definitely middle aged, unless I live to 120 years old. My crisis has presented itself as a recent late diagnosis of ADHD, rolled in with menopause, death in … Continue reading Who Am I?

I respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the traditional owners of the land on which I write and live, and the rich history of storytelling being an important part of the culture. I pay my respects to the elders, past and present, and acknowledge sovereignty of this land was never ceded.

These are a few of my favourite things...fox and elephant sit on the mantle above our fireplace. They are a reminder of where I've come from. After Michael died, elephant reminded me that the kids and I were still a family. I purchased fox in King's Cross, on a surprise and impromptu visit to Sydney with the kids, and fox reminded me that I was in control, even on my own. I travelled to the other side of Melbourne today, or ‘the wrong side of the river,’ as my grandfather used to taunt my Williamstown born grandmother. I went to do a workshop with the very knowledgeable Kate, @kmildenhall at Sunshine Library. The session was part of the Brimbank Readers and Writers Festival. As always, listening to Kate speak made me a little bit more clever, and a lot more clear on where I’m going and what I need to do. I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, but had enjoyed Mark's other book, and once I started, I strapped in and enjoyed the ride. Sandra Kuecher is still looking after me ♥ 11 years later. This was my beautiful care package she sent me off to Japan with. Me, my two girls, aged 14 and 9, and a month of adventures awaiting us. Is Suicide a Dirty Word? Symphony Tower Tokyo by Rie Qudan, expertly translated by Jesse Kirkwood, is every language lovers perfect read. A story which looks at language on many levels, including the structure and architecture, the appearance of, and way you read the components or characters, and the way meaning is conveyed through the words themselves. My beautiful friend Maki, from @guesthouse.soi.kyoto , sent me this spectacular 'The Tale of Genji' inspired incense. 'The Tale of Genji' is a novel, over a thousand years old, and is the inspiration for my work in progress. Some local morning inspiration 😍 #wrìterslife #dandenongranges #wallabies #morningwalk #australianwildlife Thanks @katesollywriter  for having us at your writing workshop last night, at Carnegie Library. It's always great to listen to you talk. Plus, I love your colour coding. As a fellow ND, it appeals, a lot!
