The Lindt Cafe

Hi everyone! I want to tell you about one of my favourite places, the Lindt Café in Martin Place. I go there every week on my days off and either get a hot chocolate or sit in and have a milkshake and while I'm sipping on it, I check my social media, read a book or magazine or just sit and watch everyone around me. To me, it's more than just somewhere to get coffee, hot chocolate etc. I go there to take a break from my busy schedule and forget about problems and anything that might be stressing me out. I would happily sit in there all day. Something about the café calms me down. All the staff are so kind and friendly. Someone is always at the door greeting the customers and welcoming them into the café. They know me so well now and know what I want before I even ask so I don't get a menu. I don't need one because I've memorised it! They take time to talk to customers, ask how they are and how their day has been. I don' know any other café where the staff...

Chronic illnesses - An instagram repost

Hello everyone, While scrolling through Instagram one night I came across a post about things you should not say to people living with chronic illnesses. It was posted by a beautiful young woman named Tayarra Smith and everything she said was spot on and with her permission, I am reposting it here. @taytay_100000 On a good day, a person with a chronic illness might not necessarily "look sick," often leaving those around to them to assume they're not. Well, here is a reality check for those folks. Unfortunately, living with chronic illnesses are an 'invisible illness' which means that you are always sick - some days are just better than others, or it could be continuing to get worse, but they hide it with makeup, with a smile, etc. These crazy chronic illnesses have a funny way of fooling people, which I have learned through the years and hundreds of inappropriate, creepy ignorant and just downright uncompassionate comments. Here are some comments I'v...

A Day At Macleay

Hello! I am going to tell you all about the college I attended and the Journalism course. For months, I had been looking for a place to study Journalism but all I could see were online courses which I didn't want. I was almost ready to give up and keep going with the job I had at the time but then my friend Lauren invited me into her radio studio. While I was there she asked me what my dream job is and I said I would love to write or take photos for a magazine or newspaper. Then she told me about Macleay College where she had been studying Journalism. It sounded so good! That night I discussed it with my mum and registered to attend the college's open day. A few days later, I was called into the college for a meeting with the head of Journalism, Stephen Davis. That gave me the opportunity to ask all the questions I had. After speaking to him I was given a tour of the college which, to my surprise, was so small! After the meeting I still was not sure if I really wante...
