I was in a slump. My my died then soon after my Dad too. It was all becoming a bit much! Wallowing in misery, something had to happen. Guided by signs and serendipitous happenings I turned my grief into a positive challenge.Mum left 30 years worth of diaries. I became inspired by her often trite, quirky, everyday observations, and had an idea - to fill the hole in my life with the wisdom and stories from women that were still here.I asked over 100 women if they would come to my kitchen table (not all at once) to tell me how they managed life; what they thought, their loves, hopes and fears. I squeezed out of my comfort zone and created something special - this little treasure chest of insight.
