    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 🧡

    Well WP I almost missed this one today! I am still chasing my tail 😂 Principles??? Now that’s a good one! Where do I even start? Mine aren’t the sort you’d find printed in a self-help book or stitched onto a pillow. They were gathered the hard way, through scraped knees, broken hearts, and the…

    I really have to laugh at this one. Grown up! I felt grown up before I could walk!Some babies cry when they’re hungry. I probably sighed and thought, “Well, someone has to get this place organized.” It wasn’t that I wanted to be grown up; it just sort of happened. Maybe it’s what comes from…

    WP, are you going to get me a million or something? 😂 Because honestly, I could put it to good use, and I don’t mean yachts or handbags. If I had a million dollars to give away, I wouldn’t hand it over to some boardroom charity with polished shoes and a marketing plan. I’d go…

    When I read this question. What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? My mind went blank. Not because I don’t have goals, but because I honestly don’t know which one counts as “hardest.” Maybe it’s because most of my goals weren’t written down in neat little lists or vision boards. They came…

    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…

    When someone asks my favorite pastime, I usually laugh, because “pastime” implies I’ve got time to pass! Between dodging daily drama, keeping my sanity intact, and wondering if the kettle has boiled or just given up, spare time feels like a luxury item. But when I do find a little pocket of peace, I turn…

    Losing Everything to Find Myself… I’ve lost all my possessions more times than I can count, sometimes through chaos, sometimes by choice, and sometimes because the universe gave me a firm nudge and said, “You won’t need that where you’re going.” I’ve walked away from houses full of things, furniture, clothes, memories stacked in boxes,…
