I don’t consider anything I have decided not to pursue, a failure. Maybe they are failures, in that the direct definition is: lack of success or the neglect or omission of expected or required action. I don’t typically use the word because it has a negative connotation, but the simple fact is that failing — […]

This week sucked. I wasn’t going to write this, but realised that’s part and parcel of wanting to be more consistent with writing, with blog posts, with the little bits of business. There’s nothing like loss and grief to throw out your intention to set routines; so this is the one I’ll keep for now, […]

There is something so heartbreaking and beautiful in watching your old dog becoming more dependent on you. Their own body starts to slow down and you are their guidance. Their eyes search for you in every room to know they are safe. They wait patiently by the side of the bed to be helped up […]

Here is some information about my life you may or may not find interesting: The latest I stayed up this week was 6am.

I have felt sad the past few days. An amalgamation of things, but my mind has wandered back to my grief. Sometimes it feels more comforting to settle into that sadness, because it makes more sense than anything else. I truly thought I would be okay walking into a hospital, but the moment my foot […]

I have been waking up every day with a desire to live a life that is not my own; dressed in clothes that make me feel – and look – good, meeting new people, and sharing more laughter with those already close to my heart. Going on more adventures that extend the mundane. Exploring more […]

I like 5am. It’s uncomplicated; it’s enough of the morning to make you feel like you’re not awake in the middle of the night, but it’s before all the other souls around you have woken from their slumber.
