Hello, my dear reader! Welcome to my latest venture, a new project. I have a big, happy mug of tea next to me, which is usually how I begin to write. It’s also how I start my day. Maybe you’re wondering why I’ve created a newsletter as well as writing a blog. Well, my blog … Continue reading Newsletter: a new project
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 (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
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.

I’ve been busy, which I know is the excuse that causes the response of, you’re never too busy to write, or, you prioritise what you care … Continue reading Uni Updates

I read a lot in April because I had my wisdom teeth taken out and I chose to spend the following week reading! It was a good time, and now I’m very ahead on my goal to read 52 books this year. There are lots of books this month, so if you’re still reading by … Continue reading April 2021 Reading
I realise I’ve been uploading a lot of poems and little else. I feel like I’m getting back in the game and need to catch up, so I’m posting an array of new and old in the hopes my blog will represent how I spend my time, what I think about, what I care about, … Continue reading Winter / Poem
Jesus (written by Sarah Bennett) Someone once asked if Jesus died from a bullet. They knew nothing of a cross, of the torture that lasted hour upon hour. They knew nothing of the cost or the blood of the Lamb. They thought He died in a second, Not knowing He was born to be sacrificed. … Continue reading Jesus / Poem
