Mommy’s little girl Stands silently aside Never fussing or fretting Hides what’s inside. Mommy’s little girl Has a voice unheard Whispering. Screaming. A fiery bird. Mommy’s little girl Doesn’t know who she is This Phoenix of power That comes from within. Mommy’s little girl Has a story to tell But mommy is speaking And we… Continue reading Mommy’s little girl (poem)

Why I should write today! (Motivation for writers)
Today I wanted to bring you some quickfire motivation to get writing. Some of these are silly or funny, but ALL of them are subjective. Don’t take them to be accusatory or rude! Why I should write today (and so should you!): Because I want to, deep down, I’m just overthinking itBecause I will never… Continue reading Why I should write today! (Motivation for writers)
Anxiety update
I thought I’d feel different. I said to my sister not long before my wedding day that I felt like once the wedding was done, I’d feel euphoric. All anxiety would slip away. That I’d have done the “hardest thing I’ve ever had to do” and so I’d feel invincible. Makes some sense, right? Overcome… Continue reading Anxiety update
I married my best friend!
We did it. On Saturday, we finally did it. The day has come and gone by so quickly. I won't go into the intimate details of our day, as it's private and for our closest people to share with us only. But it was magical. Everyone says that their wedding day was the best day… Continue reading I married my best friend!
Treat your life like a video game
I was thinking the other day about how our lives are like a video game! Let's see what I mean... Pay attention to the health bar In video games, there is a health bar usually at the top which allows you to see how your character's health is doing. That drops into the red, and… Continue reading Treat your life like a video game
How to Raise Your Vibe (confidence and joy)
We are halfway through 2022, ahhhhhh! At this time, I like to reflect on what worked and what didn't. To review my goals, make changes, and pat myself on the back when needed. I wanted a new focus for the second half of the year, especially as I'm really happy with the first half. I… Continue reading How to Raise Your Vibe (confidence and joy)
The formula for an easy life
The older I get, the more I realise that to have an easy life, you need to do two things: Work hard on creating the right systems and want less. Easy. Done! Not quite. In order to get to a place where your life feels "easy", you need to work incredibly hard to make it… Continue reading The formula for an easy life
I was wrong
What I wrote on my blog two years ago is probably wrong. Some of it. Maybe a lot of it! What I’m saying this year could be wrong two years from now. Or tomorrow! The point is, I’m wrong. And so are you. I hate this because I like getting things right. I like being… Continue reading I was wrong
Pep Talk and Tips for Writers With Low Self Esteem
I’ve been hearing a phrase that I don’t like lately and I think it’s even more horrible coming from a writer’s mouth. “I need…” Why do I hate this? Because it sounds like desperation. I sounds like a task or a chore. Writing shouldn’t feel that way. Not at first, especially. You don’t need to… Continue reading Pep Talk and Tips for Writers With Low Self Esteem
Gratitude post!
This weekend has been lovely. I’ve felt a sense of relief and release. Friday evening I did a “letting go” yoga flow that made me feel amazing and helped shift the pent up energy and inner conflict I’ve felt throughout the rest of the week. I’m so grateful for that yoga session and time I… Continue reading Gratitude post!
