What a week (and Easter weekend). Monday: homecoming On the Monday, LINOS and I flew home from Oslo. We’d gone there just for the weekend, to surprise a friend for this 30th birthday. We had the most amazing time – I can’t believe how chill Oslo is! One of our highlights was...
I have been on an emotional train this week. Considering many momentous life events took place, a fair amount of emotion was expected. But something seemed up.
Have you ever heard of the early Daoism term WuWei? Recently, I’ve been leaning into the idea of giving my brain space to think. Of experiencing life, rather than rushing through it, to see what it can show me. Normally, I’m trying to go a million miles an hour, fitting...
Happy mid-year! Seriously, we are halfway through 2021 already. I usually find this time a little unsettling. I either feel way behind with my goals or a little terrified by the reminder of how fast life moves. Which is why this year (maybe now more than ever) I’ve decided to...

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,...
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...
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,...
