Ramblings and Rhyme

For most of her life Kay has had the gift of taking an experience and turning it into a memory on paper. Something of a habit, an expression of herself, some words to share with others.

Compassion has been the cornerstone of Kay's life, with more than forty years of volunteer work as a counsellor for Lifeline, delivering Meals on Wheels, and making sandwiches for homeless folk at the Coffee Brigade, a dedication to uplifting the lives of those most in need, the persecuted religious minorities, asylum seekers, victims of domestic violence, the list is long. Kay has gathered friends from all walks of life and this sense of deep involvement with others is alive in her writing.

This breadth of life experience is the engine that continues to drive Kay's creative expression - from quirky little ramblings, to deeply perceptive reflection on the human condition. Her verse cheers and challenges us, makes us laugh and feel connected to others.

The space between these pages has something for all. There is joy, and there is pain. There is fear, and courage. But ultimately there is love.

Kay also shares the struggles of her later years, seeking to find answers for Parkinson's disease. Writing to encourage herself and her readers, her words overflow with a positivity generated by gratefulness and a firm faith in divine goodness.
