I’ve read a lot this month, and it’s proven to be rewarding and enjoyable. Here are my reviews: American Gods (American Gods #1) by Neil Gaiman My rating: 2 of 5 stars I had to read this fantasy fiction for uni; it isn’t something I would naturally gravitate towards. I tend not to read things … Continue reading July 2021 Reading
The Energy to Learn
The bookstore where I work is currently closed, which means I have long weeks but short days. (Seriously, where do they go?) While I am still studying, I find myself with three whole days I didn’t have before, which is an abundance of hours. While I’m not putting pressure on myself to be extra productive … Continue reading The Energy to Learn
Fishing / Poem
Fishing (written by Sarah Bennett) Someone gives me a compliment I did not ask for, And you say I’m fishing for it. Only I did not want what I caught, I did not eat what I caught, I threw it back into the ocean Where every other nice word said about me Has sunk to … Continue reading Fishing / Poem
A Google Free Life
I’ve spent the last few weeks on a new adventure, and it has caused many frustrations, but I’ve finally found some sort of reward from it. The adventure is – and I never thought I’d say this – getting Google out of my life. I have numerous problems with Google, mainly being privacy and security. … Continue reading A Google Free Life
a life between busyness and dreams
I have this thought, something I want to blog about today, but I’m struggling to pin it down. Maybe I haven’t allowed the sentiment to fully settle in my own mind. It’s there, whirling around but not quite taking shape. How to mold it. How to not be afraid of what it becomes. I’m listening … Continue reading a life between busyness and dreams
June 2021 Reading
I've been slowly making my way through Anna Karenina (Leo Tolstoy) for months now, as am I now trying to get through books for uni. All in all, not my biggest reading month but hopefully leading to something good. (Also a little reminder that I will be sending out my first newsletter tomorrow! If you … Continue reading June 2021 Reading
Something new is on the way…
If you read my second last post, you’ll know that I’ve decided to leave Instagram, but before I took the leap I wanted to finalise a new a project, something that excites me in a way social media doesn’t. And that’s a newsletter! For the past month I’ve been putting together a newsletter and it’s … Continue reading Something new is on the way…
Spring / Poem
Spring (Written by Sarah Bennett) There’s washing on the line and a poem in my heart, A fullness of joy that’s been in hiding. Was I the one who sent it away? There are walks to be had and flowers to plant, The sun filters through the windows, shining. A slow, happy day. Interestingly, I … Continue reading Spring / Poem
Leaving Social Media (for good)
I like how my blog showcases patterns in my life; different interests, different inspirations. Minimalism, running (perhaps this isn’t mentioned as much as it should be), social media (or lack thereof). They seem to be in rotation. While writing and reading are constant on this blog, and the glory to God behind everything I write, … Continue reading Leaving Social Media (for good)
May 2021 Reading
The beginning of May did not offer much hope for reading. I felt like I was barely scraping through, hardly picking up anything. But something changed and it ended up being a very big month for reading, which I loved. It really is such a big part of my life. It’s one of the main … Continue reading May 2021 Reading
