The aim of this post is to share books that I feel are profound and educational, as in they educate on how others live. I think divide and hate stem from ignorance. Not in a cruel way, but literally. As in, we don’t know how other people live. If you haven’t walked in their shoes,… Continue reading Accessible Books to Educate and Inspire During Times of Political Divide

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
How to Keep Your Brain Healthy and Sharp
I have a member of my family who is struggling with their memory and independence. It came out of the blue and has shook our family. For this reason, I feel more motivated than ever to keep my brain as healthy and sharp as I can, for as long as I can. *This is not… Continue reading How to Keep Your Brain Healthy and Sharp
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…
Why I Decided to Train to Teach Yoga (Online)
Last year, I decided that I wanted to train to teach yoga. I looked at my options, finding many in-person training programmes, ones abroad, and ones online. Because I wasn't sure whether I wanted to be a teacher or not, I didn't want to spend a lot of time or money on training. I wanted… Continue reading Why I Decided to Train to Teach Yoga (Online)
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
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?

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
