Welcome. I’m Narelle Hanratty.
I started this blog in 2008 after reading the songwriter, Clare Bowditch say:
I believe in the solid gold power of creativity in everyday life.
This power was missing from my life at the time and so the blog was born. Its purpose was to “pay attention to aspects of everyday life that are creative, and in such paying attention, to be creative.” In the five years since, the purpose has been fulfilled many times over.
These days, I write about women, authenticity, spirituality and philosophy which are all ways of talking about who we are as creative force. I live in Melbourne, Australia.
Professional background and business
I have degrees in psychology, language and philosophy, and have consulted to more than 100 organisations on matters including strategy, information technology and employee communications.
I head up a business that works with organisations to raise performance and results through clear and impactful writing. We coach employees to have them using the real levers of writing in a short space of time. The results are dramatic.

The new layout of your blog is great! Russell.
Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make
my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your theme.
Thanks a lot

Hi there. Sorry for the delay in replying. Your comment accidentally went into the spam pile. The theme is a free WordPress theme which is called Skeptical with a couple of tweaks which I did myself using the CSS upgrade available from WordPress. Best wishes.
I like what you do and will take a peek every so often. Would rather more frequent, but I am a full time writer of poetry, which for me is now a daily, and nightly occupation. Just published book # 5 and have 3 more new ones as well 3 prior books to re-publish etc. Oh! and almost forgot, need to remember to breath. Look you up soon anyway… JJ
Welcome, Jean-Jacques. Very fond of your blog title. Takes a poet, I suspect. Magnificent achievement to have produced 5 books.
Cheered by your wanting more. I sometimes have the experience of needing to ration posts so people don’t get overwhelmed. Most times when I post something I immediately want to post another thing. I will reconsider my stance in light of your comment. People can manage their own reading, and read or not read according to their fancy. SGCx
Narelle, for some reason my email address is being made public. Not sure why. I tried to type in just my first name, and then my blogsite, but my email address keeps coming up in my comments. Any ideas??
Hi Jann. I’ll investigate. For the moment, I’ve edited the address details of your comments.
Hi again. There was a typo in the “sicily”; maybe that’s what it was. I’ve edited it now. Should be OK in future.
