What a busy busy month! Only 28 days yet I feel I've packed in so much in February. Work has been super busy, but I have managed to find little joys in the every day. It really does help living with a dog who is just so happy to see the humans awake in the [...]

Leash pulling and me
So Artemis has been pretty good in the obedience classes I've been taking her to, but when walking around the local area she still pulls on the lead. She loves sniffing and exploring everything and leash pulling, in a way, rewards her: when she pulls on the lead she gets to sniff more as a [...]
November 2022
November has been a super busy month at work. In the past I may have resented the long hours and the grinding work; but I find my industry, my company, my colleagues, and I suppose the work itself actually very nurturing and rewarding.

Of course I've never met the monarch, but the thought of being invited for afternoon tea at the palace [...]

Happy Easter everyone! It is April already and I'm only just reflecting on the March that has seemingly passed me by. And what can I say of March, other than it has been super super busy. It appears I have done quite a bit of healing and refilling my cup, be it from nature, authentic [...]
2022 Aims, Projects, and Projections
So the new year has arrived and with it come the usual resolutions. I recall ever since I was about 12 that almost every year my new years resolution was to improve my handwriting and make it neater and more legible. That resolution has never been met. And now probably never will need to be [...]
