I have been writing more lately. Which is a relief, because there was a period when I wasn’t writing much at all. (I’m speaking of The Novel.) At times it is easier not to write, which I suppose you could say of anything. There are responsibilities and interests outside of work and writing that easily … Continue reading More or Less
I have a fairly standard closet; not quite capsule, but still intentional and somewhat minimal. I have not mastered the art of second hand shopping quite like my sister, but do not buy nearly as much as I used to. As we head into the warmer weather (how lovely the sun is this afternoon!), I … Continue reading Floating into Spring
As I’ve been reading a bit less, I thought it would be easier to compile the last couple of months of completed books into one post. In the past week I have found myself gravitating more towards reading, which has been a joy. Rooms of Their Own by Alex Johnson This was a larger book … Continue reading Winter 2023 Reads
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
This morning I was sitting in my room upstairs and sunlight was coming in through the window. I thought it was the nicest thing I’d seen in a while. I was reading and I could hear the washing machine going in the laundry. There was a tissue box next to me, which doesn’t normally live … Continue reading The Writing Life
I have enjoyed reading this month. I did something a bit unusual for me and listened to a book in the car. While I am someone who loves to read physical books, it turned out to be an enjoyable experience. Remember God by Annie F. Downs The book in question, I listened to this driving … Continue reading June 2023 Reads
