I’m in the final week of living here, which is bizarre but great. As I said in my last post, I feel ready for the move, ready for the next thing. I think it’ll be good for me. This week was meant to be filled with work, long drives, saying goodbye, and packing. Only I’ve … Continue reading Taking Some Space
Onto the Next Thing
I’m in the midst of moving, which is exciting. In just over a week I’ll be living somewhere new, which I don’t know if I’ve fully processed yet. With all the practical aspects to keep me busy, as well as working, I haven’t had many opportunities to just stop and let myself think about it. … Continue reading Onto the Next Thing
June 2022 Reads
I finished some books I had been reading for a while, as well as reading some children’s books for my next trimester at uni. Some were good, others were not – are we surprised? Christy by Catherine Marshall: I loved this! At the beginning I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get into the … Continue reading June 2022 Reads
To Follow and Obey
When I started university I was 22. While I felt God was calling me to study, part of me did feel silly that I was beginning while those who had started studying right out of school were graduating. I was young, but I felt old. It didn't help that the course I chose wouldn't give … Continue reading To Follow and Obey
At Home: being faithful with what we have
There is a dream I come back to. When I was in late high school, I dreamt that my home was on fire and everything was burning. As I left the house I grabbed my Bible and nothing else. We lived, but none of our other possessions made it. I come back to this dream … Continue reading At Home: being faithful with what we have

Only two books, but I’m in the middle of a couple that I’m really enjoying, so stay tuned for those reviews next month 🙂 Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout: A beautifully written novel that was unexpected in the form it told the story. While the novel is about Olive, each chapter … Continue reading May 2022 Reads
Femininity: on physical appearance
I haven’t devoted an entire blog post to the physical appearance aspect of femininity, but it has been weighing on my mind for a few weeks. Admittedly, it has taken that long to grapple with the topic before I felt comfortable to talk about it. Similarly to when I spoke about health last week, the … Continue reading Femininity: on physical appearance
Femininity: Authenticity in Health
I’m sitting here with eggs on toast and a blanket on my lap. The days have been sunny and warm compared to the early mornings, but sometimes it’s nice to feel cosy. I finished sewing my Christmas blanket, which is very exciting! It’s ready in time to use as winter creeps in, and I’m so … Continue reading Femininity: Authenticity in Health
Phases of Creativity
Recently in my newsletter I wrote about the battle between writing about life and actually experiencing it. It seems to be the thing I struggle to balance the most; it feels like I either spend too much time on my laptop, writing, or I am doing so many things I do not write a single … Continue reading Phases of Creativity
April 2022 Reads
This was a great reading month! I think I said this recently, but I have loved reading more books of my choice and getting through the unread books on my to-be-read pile now that I have less to read for uni. I have been reading in my lunch breaks at work, as well as sometimes … Continue reading April 2022 Reads
