This is Cricket's Coffee

This is Cricket's Coffee

My close friends are well aware that I seldom start my day without a steaming cup of coffee by my side, especially in the tranquil mornings when the world is just beginning to wake up. This show captures a rich blend of life experiences and inspiring stories that resonate deeply with its audience. Thanks to my parents, who lovingly taught me the arts of knitting and crocheting, I have cultivated a passionate hobby that brings me joy and comfort.

Community theatre held a special place in my home as I grew up, bursting with creativity and laughter. My dad often took the stage, shining brightly in countless musicals, his passion for performance evident in every note. My brother and I followed in his footsteps, embracing the magic of the stage during our high school years, lost in the rhythm and melody of our own productions. Yet, there’s something about the grandeur of Hollyw...

Asking for help can often feel like a daunting task. It’s essential to recognise that, throughout the winding journey of life, we will all encounter moments when we need support from others. There is a profound strength in embracing our vulnerability and reaching out for assistance.Personally, I've found that my pride sometimes stands in the way when I need help the most. I strive to be strong and capable, but I must remind mys...

When you experience a loss in your life, you may find that people often say they understand how you feel or what you're going through. Yet, they were not present during those heart-wrenching moments, so how can they truly grasp the depth of your emotions? Each person’s journey through grief is deeply personal, filled with unique memories and profound sorrow that they cannot fully comprehend from the outside. Their well-meaning ...

I invited my husband, Phil Fox, to sit down with me for an engaging chat about our shared passion for travel. As we relaxed together, I asked him about his ideal truck—one that could take us on all our adventures, rugged and comfortable at the same time. We also dreamt together about our ultimate journey: a thrilling loop around the breathtaking landscapes of Australia, with its stunning coastlines and vibrant outback. Our conversa...

This has been a lifelong struggle. After medical challenges, I needed to get my life going again. I had been on social media (I have Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, trying to build my brand) before but got knocked down and stayed down for a bit.

This time I am doing it for myself. Producing things I want to share in the world.


This is my story, getting to where I am right now along with where I want to go

Mom and Dad taught me to knit and crochet. I love the fact that I have those gifts to pass along to my daughters. That is part of me being handed down. I think all new babies or marriages should have that special gift to pass along to those in the future to remember the past.

My Mom taught me to knit. It took a while along with a lot of practice to get confident in creating projects. When deciding to gift a project, it takes a little bit of planning. What kind of yarn, and colours? What needle size will I use?


Making decisions is a bit like knitting also. Researching, looking at the pros and cons of the outcome of the decision that is needing to be made.


Have a listen to understand more.

When is the last time you looked up, and check out the sky, and clouds? When is the last time you got up early, grabbed a coffee, finding the perfect place to watch the sun come up?

I adore the movie Field of Dreams. When Major League Baseball returned to Iowa for the first game at the place where it all began, it was a goosebump moment when Ray (Kevin Cosner) walked through that field of corn, onto the field. Kevin had a look of amazement, wonder, and disbelief at what was taking place right in front of him. Walking through the corn with the players onto the field still gets me teary.
