Happy (almost) Christmas! Here I am again, writing to you at the beginning of this holiday season. Christmas is my favourite time of year, and it has been for a long time. I used to love decorating the tree with my family, listening to Christmas music (admittedly, I did start that a week early this … Continue reading Newsletter: peace is here
Honestly, I’m not pleased with only finishing one book this month, and it wasn’t even a great one, but in my spare time I have been doing a lot of cross-stitch, so that’s taking up a lot of my time. I have also made my way through other books this month, I just haven’t completed … Continue reading November 2021 Reads
After last week’s heavier topic, I thought I’d discuss something a bit more fun for this post!

At the end of the month, boom, you’ve written yourself … Continue reading Updates / NaNo 2021

I've been interested in the topic for a long time but avoided discussing it for the simple reason that I felt almost disqualified from having something to say. The topic seemed reserved for women with long … Continue reading Newsletter: branching out

But practically it is something I pray about regularly because contentment is not always my natural response. There are so many content creators these days, and … Continue reading Femininity: Seeking Contentment
Four books finished this month! And a few more lined up as I begin my unit on crime literature at uni. Felicity by Mary Oliver: A simple, lovely book of poetry. Not difficult to read or understand, but not too simple like some contemporary poetry can be. 4 stars. A Writing Life by Annie Dillard: … Continue reading October 2021 Reads

After deciding to follow my slightly nerve-wracking but incredibly exciting new series on femininity, I’ve been writing down so many ideas about what I can explore here on the blog. But firstly, there is something important pressing on my heart. As I discuss femininity and look back at what I have implemented, and look forward … Continue reading Femininity: not about perfection or oppression
