What a busy month. October has been work work work, so having some relaxing chill time has been amazing. Having a dog has also really helped me stay present and in the moment. I understand that deadlines loom and tasks have to be completed, yet Artemis has somehow drawn me back to notice what's really [...]

May 2022
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 [...]
Dunsborough Park and Gardens

May 2020
What a month. May is always the month of birthdays, including my own. I'm grateful that my birthday had allowed me to reconnect with people I hadn't spoken to for ages. But I've noticed this month I have been rather stressed from all manner of things, which has heightened my senses and made me rather easily [...]
