Musings :: Moments :: Memories
As today is the last day in September, I am just getting my planner read for October but adding in the month's events and getting a few pages made for our break later this month to the Peak District along with the lists of intentions, films and books I shared here over the past few… Continue reading October Planning
Some of these are new, some old favourites I watch most years and a couple of films that I am ready to watch again. You've Got Mail. One of my all-time favourite rom-coms. Watching Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox fall in love in New York in the fall... just dreamy. 'Don't you love New York… Continue reading 10 Films to Watch this Autumn

Another prompt from the book The Right to Write was to write down one hundred things that make me happy. Just making this list made me happy! Autumn leaves Bacon Hugs Harper Dog Laughter through tears Steel Magnolias Running into the sea Blue skies My kids' laughter Mountains in the summertime The purr of a… Continue reading What Makes Me Happy
Below is more of my unedited free writing journalling from the Year of Reflection that I did a few years ago. We are what we have been. We live with all our experiences and memories coursing through us. We are our surroundings. The sky can fascinate us on a daily basis and yet it is… Continue reading Look To The Sky
I made this list a few years ago. The prompt to write down a hundred dreams was from a writing book by Julia Cameron called The Right to Write. A few of these I have done. Many of these I will never do, It is nice to dream, though, isn't it? Maybe make your own… Continue reading Dreams
Since there are 100 days left of the year, I have decided to try to blog every day from now until the end of the year. I am determined to make the most of my favourite time of year this year and avoid all the stress and pressure that comes from work and home. My… Continue reading One Hundred Days Left of 2023
A while back, I signed up for a Year of Reflection with Erin Loechner. She sent a weekly email with curated quotations or extracts and invite us to read, think and respond. I just stumbled across my journalling from this and thought I would share some of my writing. The first was an extract from… Continue reading Dismiss whatever insults your soul
It's been a while. I have been muddled, unable to find words to articulate my thoughts in a way that serves me well. Say too much and it could cause problems. Say too little and it is annoyingly (and needlessly concerningly) cryptic. So I don't write. This weekend, though, Rich and I have enjoyed a… Continue reading Stalled but recharged
I am hitting this February half-term with mixed feelings.

Even so,… Continue reading Five Things for Half Term
