That's it, our last day in this house. A house that felt like home since 2022. A place that saved us from our last rented home which didn't turn out too well in the end. Convenient location, perfect size, space to make our own. And while we are moving on to bigger and better (hopefully),… Continue reading Saying Goodbye: Mourning the End of a Chapter

Consider some different goals / resolutions this year
As 2025 comes to a close, everyone is reflecting on their year and thinking up goals and resolutions for 2026. I invite you to ditch the overdone basics and think outside of the box! No more: Run a marathon Lose 5kg Become a vegan (when you’ve never tried it before and expect it to happen… Continue reading Consider some different goals / resolutions this year
Live Your Timeline
This is a reminder that we all have different timelines. There is no age or stage in life that we all achieve the same things. Some people will never do what you do, or what I do. Some people will do those things years ahead or years after. The point is: it doesn’t matter. At… Continue reading Live Your Timeline
Summer is for…
Long books for the long days Flowy trousers allowing space Blades of grass tickling between toes Early rises to catch the sunrise Barbecue smoke lifting the air Cute picnic dates with your friends in the park Fresh fruit bowls outside in the morning air Lemon wedges and ice cubes in tall glasses, condensation rolling down… Continue reading Summer is for…
Thirty and Thriving
I have been 30 now for a month, and what a month it has been! I have to say, being 30 isn’t looking so bad! What was everyone warning me about? Of course, I jest. I know a month isn’t a reflection of what can happen in a year or ten of my 30s decade,… Continue reading Thirty and Thriving
Birthday Reflection: Season 30, Episode 1
I’m turning 30 in a few days and I’m told to feel scared. Told it means something. This number with a 3 at the front is a whole new terrain for me. A new season of life. A gravitational shift; a tilt in my axis. Will the sun shine brighter from this angle, or will… Continue reading Birthday Reflection: Season 30, Episode 1
Intentions for 2025 – What Now?
2024 was such a weird year for me. It felt cut into pieces. I spent the first half panicking about my dream trip to Japan. Then I had an amazing trip in Japan right at the middle of the year. Then family members got sick. I mourned Japan. I felt angry that I wasn’t happy… Continue reading Intentions for 2025 – What Now?
The problem with school holidays
Firstly, I accidentally broke my daily streak! When I realised this morning, I felt upset. But how can I be? I worked hard and showed up to write something everyday for 41 days in a row. That’s amazing. To get to 30 is great, to get to 40 is fantastic. I also couldn’t manage the… Continue reading The problem with school holidays
All or nothing thinking
Everything has worked out. It usually does. The world doesn’t end because we stop trying to control everything. Have I ticked everything off my long summer to do list? No! Lots of things shouldn’t have been on there anyway. But I started a lot of things, finished some others, and have progressed. That’s all the… Continue reading All or nothing thinking
The ever-productive problem
It’s sad that I find it so hard to rest and do very little. Yesterday was my least productive day of the holiday. I wrote my daily post, finished the book I was reading, walked the dog, watched tv while journaling and doing a tarot reading (I dabble for fun), did some yoga, then finally… Continue reading The ever-productive problem
