Turquoise Doors and Wildflowers…
Now, WordPress… when you say artists, what exactly are we talking about here? Painters? Musicians? Poets? Or the neighbor who turns her front garden into a wild, defiant explosion of daisies and old wheelbarrows every spring? Because I have favorites in all those categories. If it’s painters you mean, then give me Van Gogh, the…

The Art of Passing Time (Without Losing My Mind)…
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…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

Darling, While They Sleep, We’re Out Here Counting Stars…
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…
