Hi! We have already established that my name is Zelda. I’m also a wifey and mother of 4. Proudly born and raised in the friendly islands of Fiji. Living and breathing in Australia, where I now call home.

Ever since I was a kid, I always found peace in listening to other people’s stories. Particularly my elders, I grew up surrounded by their stories. Like the overheard yarns of my aunties sharing stories of their time with their grandparents and their parents, the superstitious dreams my mum would share over breakfast which had a deeper meaning that there was going to be family death or a visitor, or my uncles sharing serious stories over the kava bowl, which always had a plot twist and always ended with a cheeky dad joke, that would have everyone bursting out in laughter.

Those stories, shaped me into the deep thinker I am today. I’d like to bring awareness to the fact that I no longer want to rant to mum or my friends on the phone. These important memories, thoughts, reflections and stories I have built up in my mind need to be documented.

This blog is a space for my peace of mind and for my loved ones to understand me on a deeper level and just a way of turning all those memories into stories that will live on. Welcome to my world, LOUD! warm, sometimes messy, but always full of love.
