The Art of Changing My Mind (Over and Over Again)…
What Haven’t I Changed My Mind About? I used to think coffee was just coffee, bread was just bread, and socks were just socks. Now coffee comes with an ethical compass, bread is either a deadly gluten bomb or a gut-healing miracle depending on which guru you ask, and socks, well, I’m told bamboo ones…

Out of Place, Out of Time…
You know that question, “Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.” Well, that’s easy. Always. I feel out of place most of the time, and on bad days, I’m convinced I don’t even belong on this timeline at all. Honestly, I think I missed my stop and got off at the…

Unplugged but Unwritten…
Well, I wouldn’t be blogging… lol. Can you imagine? Me, left without a keyboard, trying to wrestle my thoughts onto paper before they vanish into thin air. It would be chaos. My handwriting looks like it’s been in a fight with itself, so half the time I wouldn’t even be able to read what I’d…

The Skill They Didn’t Want Me to Learn (But I Did Anyway)…
A letter from my future self… Dear Me, So here I am, ten years on, writing back. Funny thing is, the skill I mastered wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t cooking, coding, or speaking seven languages (though, let’s be honest, that would’ve been handy when trying to decode executor-speak). No, the real skill was trusting myself and…

Not Every Detail Deserves Attention…
Nosy, Nosy, WP Well now, WP, you’re at it again with the prying questions. “What details of your life could you pay more attention to?” Honestly, I’ve no idea where to go with this one, because if I started paying attention to every little thing, I’d be tripping over myself. Could I pay more attention…

First Things First: Open Eyes, Have Tea…
Honestly? Waking up in the morning! That’s the big one. If I manage that, then I’ve already beaten the odds, ticked off the most important box, and frankly, the rest is pure gravy. See, the world is obsessed with lists. Endless lists. People write things like “clear email inbox,” “run 5K before sunrise,” “smile at…

The Real Work: Breaking the Myth of “Hard Work”…
Well WP. I really had to think about this one! I even had to eat breakfast before I started writing😂 When you ask, “How does hard work make you feel fulfilled?” I can’t help but smirk. Hard work? Depends on what you mean by that. If you’re talking about the old myth society loves to…

The Stubborn Art of Rising…
Well, that’s a good question, isn’t it WP? A trick question, even, because traits aren’t simple things. They’re layered like an old cake, some sweet, some a bit stale, but all part of the recipe that makes you. For me, the trait I value most is resilience. Not the kind of resilience that pretends it’s…

Director of Turf Logistics…
Three jobs? Oh, come now, WP, at this stage of life, the very last thing I want is a job! Why would I go back to the grind? I’ve spent years dancing to alarm clocks, being herded by bosses, and ticking boxes on forms nobody even reads. Not for love, not for money, and certainly…

Roots, Runes, and the Stars We Forget…
Oh, where to start! Let’s begin with the Irish blood in my veins, the stubbornness, the humour that refuses to be silenced, the way we carry stories like fire through the generations. I am proud of the whispers of the druids, who knew the land and the stars better than anyone today, who honored the…
UNDER THE WILL... OVER THE DRAMA...
