February 2022

It appears that February has been a music-driven month for me. I have been listening to instrumental Disney songs throughout the month and watched Sing 2 and have been really enjoying listening to music and feeling the feels that come with it. I've also been grateful for little every day things: electricity, shelter, and food. [...]

October 2021

October has been a super busy month. My motto this month has kind of been "work hard, play hard", as I realise that, sometimes, we can be unhappy not because we are doing too many things we don't like, but because we aren't doing enough of what we do like.  I realised that when I [...]

A Tale of Two Van Gogh Immersions

Immersion There have been a lot of immersion experiences based on the work of my favourite painter, Vincent Van Gogh. Apparently these were inspired by an episode of Emily in Paris where the characters visit an immersive Van Gogh exhibit. There have been so many immersive exhibits and experiences with very similar sounding names that [...]

Paint by Numbers – The Starry Night

So it's taken about 5 to 6 months but we've finally finished our Paint by Numbers of Van Gogh's The Starry Night. I think I realised that Vincent Van Gogh was my favourite painter after visiting the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam a couple of years ago and was just blown away by his art and tragic [...]

Crafting and Mental Health

I saw an Instagram post the other day that struck a chord with me. It was about anxiety, uncertainty of the unknown (during the tense US election days), and about mental health. It was also about knitting. Apparently I am months behind on the trend because lockdown has created a surge in knitting artists and [...]

September 2020

As I read back on September's gratitudes I realise how important people are in my life. 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 2019

So this month seems to have been a little like a rollercoaster, a lot has happened, both work-wise and outside of work. I realise as I read back on the days that I talk a lot about food, work, hubby, art/ media, podcasts. I suppose these days I try to focus more on the here [...]
