Eleven Years

July 29, 2024 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

Eleven years ago, on this day, you walked out the door and never came back. When I started writing my story about what happened; your suicide; and the kids and my journey through grief and adversity, I thought it'd be a reasonably short and easy process. I was telling a story I lived through. How … Continue reading Eleven Years

My Year of Writing: in Retrospect

January 3, 2024 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ 4 Comments

Last year was a very good year for me. I finally found what I want to be when I grow up. It's been an arduous search. I'm 51 years old. Spending my year writing has been life-changing, and it's definitely what I want to continue doing. At the beginning of last year, I really had … Continue reading My Year of Writing: in Retrospect

At the Foot of the Cherry Tree

August 18, 2023August 25, 2023 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

Going to bookshops is one of my favourite things to do. I am sure no-one is surprised by this. Last week I wandered into Dymocks and was immediately drawn to one of the end shelves. The book displayed on the top shelf and the accompanying signage was covered in cherry blossom. Cherry blossom is another … Continue reading At the Foot of the Cherry Tree

If you’ve listened to the podcast, this is the sweet little mouth that was singing ‘The Roof Is on Fire’. So sweet, so cute, just starting kindergarten. The sunset in Brasil, that I talk about in the podcast. It was spectacular. I loved listening to the episode of That Day podcast with Jac and Kylie, as it reminded me of how lucky I am. This photo of Christ the Redeemer, in Rio de Janeiro, was taken from a helicopter. I actually looked into those stone eyes as we circled around the statue. A pinch me. is this real moment. That Day Podcast Chatting to Mark Mupotsa-Russell today about his excellent book The Wolf Who Cried Boy at Belgrave Library was both fun and thought provoking. I loved reading The Wolf Who Cried Boy, and particularly loved the 6-year-old protagonist, Henry. Author talks are the best, and I’m really enjoying the opportunity to ask the questions. Today is International Haiku Day. This is the first haiku Stu @maskedman01  wrote for me. The final line in Japanese says 'Kylie, I'm home.' Stu gifted this haiku with my Georg Jensen daisy, that I wear everyday. He writes me a haiku for nearly every occasion, and I often write one in response ❤ Such a romantic 🥰 For 12 years, Mum and I thought I was a Moodle. But today, at Bunnings, a lady said I was definitely a Shoodle (Shih tsu x poodle). We looked it up, and we think she’s right? My ears are long, and so is my body. I’m a bit stubborn. My fur is wavy, not curly. Mum loves me either way ❤️ Bookclub 📚♥ Friday night we went to Robin Boyd's Walsh Street House in South Yarra for a 1960s style cocktail party and house tour. With the settlement of our new, mid-century home looming, we were keen to seek inspiration and we were not disappointed.
