January 2023 Reads

January 29, 2023January 29, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been reading more lately, which is such a joy. While I don’t always feel like it, it is always worth it as soon as I begin. Christmas Shopaholic by Sophia Kinsella Yes, I bought Christmas books online that didn’t arrive until January. I’ve still enjoyed going through them, and even though I haven’t read … Continue reading January 2023 Reads

Writing Refresh

January 26, 2023February 6, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 2 Comments

In the last six months, I haven’t written much outside of my blog. While I have wanted to, nothing ever stuck. I justify this by remembering I used so much energy in the move, settling in, and learning a new job. I was tired emotionally, mentally, and physically. There was a lot of change and … Continue reading Writing Refresh

November 2022 Reads

December 3, 2022February 7, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 3 Comments

I don’t think I’ll reach my goal of reading 100 books this year. With working full time, my free time is necessary elsewhere! With that being said, I love how intentional my reading has been. I read during my lunch break at work and again before bed. These feel like proper wind-down periods where I … Continue reading November 2022 Reads

Continuing the Bullet Journal

September 3, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

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

Learning to Prioritise

August 20, 2022October 2, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 3 Comments

I've been sitting in the sun and realising I have more time than I thought I did. In starting a full-time job, I knew there would be an adjustment period as I got used to a time-sensitive to-do list on the weekend and more responsibility in how I spent my evenings. To help minimise the … Continue reading Learning to Prioritise

Awake / Poem

August 16, 2022December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Awake (written by Sarah Bennett) I fell asleep at eighteen and opened my eyes at twenty five. I tell myself I’m wiser from it all, but I don’t know if that’s true. I threw away time I thought I didn’t need and now spend every second trying to keep up with the present. I do … Continue reading Awake / Poem

Harbour / Poem

July 31, 2022January 29, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Harbour (written by Sarah Bennett) That conversation, A passing delight, Was perhaps the final one – The last of our joy. The end met us, As we walked to the harbour, At which we never again set sail. I created this as a blackout poem a number of years ago and thought it was time … Continue reading Harbour / Poem

Changing / Poem

July 26, 2022December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I was going to share my July reads, but truth be told I finished one book this month and it was Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Yes, the children’s book. I hadn’t written any poems for a while, until yesterday. It feels good to be writing them again. I know I often … Continue reading Changing / Poem

What Comes Next

July 16, 2022October 29, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I’m in a new space. One where I am the furthest away from what I thought my future would be, but closest to the one that will eventualise. It’s a funny feeling. This isn’t what I would have chosen for myself, but most things become normal very quickly. Of course there are moments when I … Continue reading What Comes Next

Phases of Creativity

May 10, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 5 Comments

Recently in my newsletter I wrote about the battle between writing about life and actually experiencing it. It seems to be the thing I struggle to balance the most; it feels like I either spend too much time on my laptop, writing, or I am doing so many things I do not write a single … Continue reading Phases of Creativity
