A much more relaxed and chilled December, reasons that I will write about another time. It appears December, for me, was a month of food, painting, quizzes, catch ups, naps, and rest. Much rest. Things did seem to slow down for me, which I'm very grateful for. I had the time and space to step [...]

A Fresh Start to 2021
Many posts may be about the achievements and successes of people's 2020. During an unprecedented year, other posts may be about realisations and epiphanies. It is ok to have just been able to survive 2020, treading water. For me, 2020 has been a wake up call. I had the time and space to stop and [...]
November 2020

I've been very grateful for people and their presence, their advice, their experiences, and their time, helping to guide me. I've been trying to figure some things out and navigate through the current uncertainty of the world right now. Trying [...]
August 2020
A much better month, even with a ridiculous heat wave. I feel August was when I really tried to listen to my body and really am still trying to figure out why I do the things I do. I've been finding sleep and rest quite difficult and actively trying to tire myself out to get [...]
Six Thinking Hats
Recently I listened to Jim Kwik's podcast number 178 on how to make better decisions. This theory is based on Edward De Bono's Six Thinking Hats and was really interesting to listen to. Essentially there are six different coloured hats, each with a different purpose, to help you make better decisions in almost every aspect of [...]
