February 2024

The second month of the new calendar year and it appears I am super grateful for food! Be it batch cooking at the weekends, food from work, or treats from people - food is everywhere. I suppose it really has gotten to the point where I am really grateful for the little things in life. [...]

September 2023

So we are now in Autumn and September has been a bit of a mixed bag. Work has been super busy and I've been pulling super long hours; yet when I read back on my gratitude journal it doesn't seem to be a major issue - the main thing is that I've been able to [...]

May 2023

May has been a restful month filled with lots of sweet treats and birth. It's my birthday month and now two dear friends also have May babies, literally. I've been appreciating sleep, rest, and nature; really admiring the garden and blooming flowers out on dog walks. I've been grateful for life and food, the most [...]

May is my birthday month and I have learnt a lot this month. I've learnt more about myself, my habits, mental health, self care, and about various people in my life. I am super grateful that I have people in my life who feel safe to be open and honest with me. I have had [...]

April 2022

Spring has sprung! April has been bringing me lots of nature, blooming flowers, birds, and sunshine. It has been a super busy month - I worked 18 days straight - but, perhaps surprisingly, I haven't been as burnt out as one might expect. These days I feel I'm better at refilling my cup, finding joy [...]
