I’ll be moving house again this year. It’s something that brings both excitement and stress. There are costs, there are practicalities. I don’t know yet where I’ll end up, which is a thought I had a year and a half ago; I didn’t think I’d be feeling this way again so soon. But God lead … Continue reading Once More, Moving On
I once read that no story should begin with the weather. Apparently it’s boring and usually has no further significance. Today, it is cloudy. Still warm, but with most of the doors and windows open, a breeze is pulling through my home. After I finished my quiet time and had put on my second load … Continue reading Amidst the Waiting
The end of this month will mean closing my first bullet journal and beginning a new one. I have absolutely loved using a bullet journal for the past year. I was reading through some of my older blog posts and it was a joy to remember why I started the BuJo in the first place. … Continue reading Bullet Journal: One Year On
I only recently realised winter is nearly over. The weather has been warming up, then cooling down, then warming up again. The sun is out today, and I hope it stays. I don’t know if there is much better than having all the windows open and letting the sun into the house. I was sick … Continue reading At Home: Almost Welcoming Spring
If you read last week’s post, you’ll know I’ve started intentional habits surrounding my health. To summarise, I’m committed to doing the following each day: / One forty-five minute walk (outside) / One forty-five minute workout (probably inside) / No alcohol or sugar As I am basing this off 75 Hard, I have also been … Continue reading One Week In
Maybe it’s because the sun has been out and the days are getting longer, but I am more motivated than ever to prioritise my health. I don’t think of myself as being someone particularly “unhealthy” (though this is a very general phrase that could mean an abundance of things), but I have noticed myself slipping … Continue reading Time to Start
Up until this year, I struggled to use a budget consistently. I would feel inspired, keep something for a month or two, and then forget about it. While I wanted to be sensible and understand my spending, I didn’t keep at it long enough to notice any trends. Things changed when I moved a year … Continue reading At Home: The Budget
So much of what we do is simply… showing up. How easy it is to dream of being a writer for a living, of having a book published under my name. But the writing itself cannot be done until I make myself sit at the computer and put in the hours. Of course, this time … Continue reading At Home: Showing Up
It is easy to feel calm when life is going well. When we are on top of our tasks and don’t have any looming deadlines. It is easy to find rest when our days are consistent and simple. But this isn’t always our reality, is it? What about remaining peaceful when we feel the need … Continue reading At Home: Peace Renewed
I admit, there are times when I do not have a good attitude. When the things that need to be done are done with grumbling and frustration. While I can look around my home and find joy, there are also times when it all feels too much and I wish someone else could cook dinner … Continue reading At Home: to move quietly
