When Life Says Slow Down… Listen…
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…

The Weeds, the Truth, and Me…
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…

Strangers by DNA…
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…

Everything to Nothing (and Back Again)…
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,…

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…

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…

From Birthdays to Black Friday: I’m Out…
Well, I don’t anymore! Or at least not in the way society wants me to. I realized a long time ago what they were really all about. At first, I used to dismiss them as Hallmark holidays, those designed to keep the tills ringing and people distracted. But now I see them for what they…

The Gospel of No…
A lesson I wish I’d learned earlier? That saying yes when you mean no is the fastest way to hand over the steering wheel of your own life. And once someone else has their hands on it, good luck getting them to let go; they’ll happily drive you straight into their version of happiness, leaving…

Maybe I Can’t…
Maybe I can’t! Words are like my lifeboats, scattered all over the sea. Some keep me afloat, some drag me under, but they all belong to me. Giving one up feels like being told to choose between tea and coffee, cruel and unusual punishment. But alright, let’s play. What word could I possibly surrender? Maybe…

No Room in My Head for Rent-Free Tenants…
Now, by all rights, I should be! I’ve got a zillion reasons stacked up like family drama at a Christmas dinner, and every single one of them would give me the right to slam a door, curse a name, or carry a chip on my shoulder the size of a mountain. But here’s the thing:…
UNDER THE WILL... OVER THE DRAMA...
