    I’ve been quiet for a while. Not because I had nothing to say, actually, it’s the opposite. My head has been full. Full of thoughts, tasks, emotions, responsibilities… noise.      But somewhere along the way, that noise drowned out my voice. The one that usually shows up here, typing away, reflecting, sharing. So I paused. Not…

    Some weeks feel like I’m running in circles and this is definitely one of them! Between the to-do lists, unexpected twists, and daily life, I’ve been chasing my tail and getting absolutely nowhere fast. I promise I’ll catch up with everyone soon. Until then, I’m taking it one spin at a time. 🌀 Mae 🧡

    Lately, I feel like I’m chasing my tail, round and round, trying to catch up on everything that somehow slipped through the cracks. You know the kind of days when you wake up full of good intentions, ready to take on the world… and then suddenly it’s 6 p.m., and all you’ve managed is to…

    I was thinking about my family today, dangerous territory, I know, and I came to a rather startling conclusion: we’re just strangers who share the same DNA. Exactly that. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s funny how long it can take to admit something that’s been sitting in plain sight. You keep hoping one day the…

    Are We Living in a Shift of Consciousness? Sometimes I look around at the pure ridiculousness of the world and think: Is this really happening? Politics, media, tech, money games, it’s like a giant circus. But behind the noise, I can’t help but wonder: are we going through a shift in consciousness? For those who…

    Where Did September Go? I’m sitting here wondering where the hell September has gone. Honestly, I had plans stacked up like dominoes, and now they’re all toppling over while I’m scrambling to catch up. But at least I managed to book my NCT. Oh yes, the great Irish rite of passage. Forget confirmation, graduation, or…

    Today marks 150 days of this blog… That’s 150 mornings of deciding whether to rant, reflect, or roll my eyes at the world, and somehow, the words kept showing up. I’ve learned that writing is equal parts therapy, rebellion, and connection. It has carried me through the noise, given me a place to speak my…

    Ireland Today… What a State… We used to be called the land of saints and scholars. Now we’re the land of potholes, half-built houses, crumbling hospitals, and politicians who wouldn’t know an honest day’s work if it bit them. Families are drowning under the cost of living. You walk into the shop for a bit…

    Tonight, the crows are gathering.  They sweep across the twilight sky, black shadows that seem to stitch the heavens with thread pulled from another world. In the old Celtic way, this was no ordinary sight. When the crows gathered, it meant a council was being held. A council not of men, but of spirits. Their…

    What If the Like-Minded United?… Sometimes I sit and wonder, what if all the people who actually see the world for what it really is came together? Not the ones glued to the headlines, not the ones hypnotized by the latest celebrity scandal, but the ones who sense, deep down, that something is off. Those…
