Stumbled across this partial repost in my ‘maybe turn into a poem’ folder last week and it was… timely. I’m so keen, champing at the bit even, to start looking ahead, looking outward, reaching for this new future I have before me, and it’s so very hard to be patient, to walk slowly, sustainably, to

Almost two years ago to the day, I wrote the below post. Apparently I needed a reminder of its message, because the internet randomly spat it back up at me yesterday, and I just… I don’t know. I needed to hear it. You know? It’s okay to slow down. It’s okay to take time to

Wow. Wow-Wow. So, as you know if you’ve been following along, I spent last week in Las Vegas for the WMG Writing Business Masterclass with a host of incredible, amazing people – participants and presenters alike. I have 50 pages of handwritten notes, an action list longer than my arm (which I need to sort

Weekend before Easter I got roped into hiking with school. I say ‘roped’; I mentioned at the start of the year to the coordinator that I was interested in doing some hiking this year, and then the female teacher for this hike had to pull out, and so I got about 10 days’ warning. Wow

I don’t know, this song feels kind of relevant this week. I’m drowning in school work and the world, and just… yeah. I feel like I’m running just to stay alive. The good news, though, is that tomorrow? SCHOOL. HOLIDAYS. I get two weeks of no work (though I have way too much I still
