Why Normal Ness?

Because we’re all normal – to ourselves.

This blog is a personal blog, but you can take my experiences, apply what works for you and ignore what doesn’t work. 


My name is Vanessa, and I love to write and explore new ideas. I’m great at asking questions and less great at giving you defined answers. I blame that on my research background. On NormalNess I share my life, my sarcasm and many other things, including blogging tips.

Books I’ve written. Some are serious, some aren’t. Just like the rest of the blog, I write books on a wide range of topics.

It's Book Launch Day

I am a systems strategist, offering a range of services aimed at neurodiverse and/or chronic illness people who run a small business. 

Things To read about!

Here on NormalNess I talk about a lot of things. Because I like a lot of things!

Want to read everything? On every topic? Serious and not? This is the place!

Want to learn more about blogging? This is your one stop shop to read all my blog posts.

Do you work for yourself? Work for a boss? Or some combination in between? This is the place where I’ve shared my thoughts on the huge range of topics that impact this area of our lives. 

Thoughts about it. Probably written as procrastination from doing it. 

Best described as a lot of thoughts, as well as questions with no answers.

Love to second hand shop? I review op shops as I visit them.

Health! We all have it to some degree, and we all have to manage it in some way. Read more about health things I’ve shared.

Why is humour next to health? Well, we all have ways of coping!

Money. It apparently makes the world go round. But how you use it and how you think about it are valuable to making it work for you.
