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
At the beginning of the month I wrote in my newsletter that I was beginning the Daniel Fast. Put simply, I didn’t eat sugar, meat, dairy, gluten or caffeine throughout January. The fast is based upon the first chapter in the book of Daniel in the Bible as Daniel decides to differ from how the … Continue reading Upon Finishing the Daniel Fast
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
I have been trying to spend my time more intentionally after eight. I want to make sure I wind down properly before bed. As someone who wakes up early and tries to be in bed at 9 (I know it’s early lol!), I wanted to stop trying to fall asleep with my mind so active … Continue reading Intentional Summer Evenings
Someone the other day commented on how I like “old things” and I was pleasantly surprised they had noticed. While there are aspects of my life that do not line up with traditional ways of living, such as working full-time, I love the concept of following more traditional practises where I can. It is in … Continue reading Femininity: preserving the past
All the windows and doors are open, with a cool breeze passing through the lounge room. It is early on a Saturday morning – because if there’s one thing I can’t do, it’s sleep in. Yes, even on a weekend. Now I am more settled in my home and with work, I am motivated by … Continue reading Femininity: living intentionally
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve blogged. I’ve sat down numerous times to write out a post, but I’ve been distracted with everything that’s been going on. Because – I moved! The exciting and exhausting process has once again been made, only this time I can be settled for a while. If you … Continue reading The Busy Bullet Journal
As you might know, I started a bullet journal last month! As I said in this post, I wanted something to feel organised and where everything could be in one place as I adjusted to full-time work and needed to plan and think ahead more. The good news is, I am still loving it! It … Continue reading Continuing the Bullet Journal
A Lizard’s Song (written by Sarah Bennett) I was walking home from the shops, a single bag tucked under my arm. I want to say it was filled with celery and carrots, greenery poking out the top, but I had only purchased eyeliner from the pharmacy and a cheap bottle of wine. The sun came … Continue reading A Lizard’s Song / Poem
