April Round Up

Hello sun! I cannot tell you (probably an issue, considering my profession) how excited I am about the sun starting to appear more here in the UK. I am definitely a summer > winter girl, and I am already feeling those long, relaxing evenings outside and bright early mornings. Plus,...

March Round Up

I’m currently experiencing a rather bizarre association with time lately. At random points, everything will feel like it’s moving too fast and my breathing will hitch and my stomach will get tight and I’ll feel so behind in life it’s like I’ll never be able to catch up, and in...

February Round Up

I don’t want to scare it off, but it’s possible Spring is approaching (at least here in the UK). Just the thought of warmer weather, days outside, and longer evenings makes me want to squeal with excitement (maybe not squeal – something more refined and British instead… raise my teacup?!) Anyway,...

January Round Up

How are we one month done with 2021 already?! One-twelfth through already… I don’t have issues with January. I like it. There’s all that fresh start feeling and promise of huge goals and new habits. Everything’s still ahead. There’s alllll that possibility and wondering what kind of amazing things the...

2020, Week Twelve Compendium

We’re living in history right now. People are going to be talking about this for years to come. I expect our grandchildren will ask us what it was like to live through. The world is a scary place. There’s a lot of unknowns. A lot of sadness. Everything is changing,...

2020, Week Ten Compendium

Here in the UK, we are being absolutely battered by storms, one after the other. It’s starting to feel normal – like a weekend is supposed to have a storm and the sun is a mythical object. The whole situation has been sort of reflecting how I’ve been feeling lately....

2020, Week Nine Compendium

March. It is almost MARCH, guys. How is it almost March already?! So, January and February disappeared in a blur. A clean-slate, full-of-new-challenges, birthday-celebrating blur. I officially stated my intention to take on not one but TWO challenges in 2020, and neither of them are the one-sixth done they should...

Why I’m Setting a Resolution Designed to Fail

AKA, the 100 Rejections Quest. Happy new year! Scrap that – happy new decade! I absolutely adore new years, when everything feels shiny and new and incontrovertibly possible. It’s the fresh-start of it all. And I know it’s all arbitrary – just another number that’s no different to tomorrow being...
