It's the end of the calendar year. The turkey has been eaten, the gravy has been slurped, the mince pies have been nibbled, and the mulled wine has been drunk. And here I am, reflecting on the past 12 months. I'm aware this isn't everyone's cup of tea, comparison is the thief of joy and [...]
September rolled round quickly, how are we in Autumn already? It's almost Christmas now! It appears that this month has been one of creativity, creation, food, cosy drinks, and nature for me.

January blues was not as bad as I was expecting. Looking back at my daily gratitudes and musings, it appears I had very much utilised my support network this month. It has been super helpful having supportive people in my life that I can rely on and ask for help, people who can lift me [...]
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 [...]
