What might a reckoning between Black and white Australia look like? Many of the brilliant contributors to Griffith Review 76, “Acts of Reckoning”, such as Professor Megan Davis, leading scholar Teela Reid and Senator Patrick Dodson, argue that it starts with all of us embracing the generous invitation from Indigenous people in the Uluru Statement From the Heart to walk together towards a better future, one that begins with a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament, then moves towards Treaty and Truth-telling. Others write powerfully about the need for fundamental changes to the criminal justice system which incarcerates so many young Indigenous people, and the importance of owning our violent past. In this conversation  Ashley Hay speaks with power and conviction of what we can all do to make change happen.

Nursing is a labor of love. Love for the patients we care for, love for the profession and skills, love for the ability to truly help people when they are in desperate need. But what do you do when your own health declines and prevents you from being the best nurse you can be?  What if bedside nursing is no longer an option? When the very career you are so passionate about seems to be closed to you, do you give up? Or do you find another way to still be a nurse?

Ashley Hay is a registered nurse, freelance writer, editor, and consultant. She found her business niche in an unexpected way. Due to some health conditions, the demands of a 12 hour day or night shift did not allow Ashley the freedom of pursuing her love of oncology nursing. Then she found out about the business of freelance writing in the healthcare space and began her journey into this business. Ashley started out with some free pieces that she did for high profile sites, which led to many new and paid opportunities. Two years into her journey, Ashley has found her happy place and is making more money than she would as a staff nurse. This type of business takes effort to get off the ground, but there is significant income possibility and a seemingly endless list of opportunities. Ashley is available for a large array of freelance healthcare writing needs including original content, copywriting, ghostwriting, and patient education material.

There, Alice realises that her grandmother -- whose farm provides a refuge to women who, like Alice, are lost or broken -- also speaks the language of flowers, and Alice soon begins to do the same, using flowers to say those things that are otherwise too hard to speak.

As Alice grows older and flees her grandmother's home after discovering the truth about her past, she has to learn a new language -- the language of love, and loss -- for, if she's to find her place in the world, she must first start listening to her heart . . .
