Last year, I worked through the One Little Word workshop properly for the first time (in previous years, I have chosen a word in January and then barely thought about it for the rest of the year). I really enjoyed the process although the word - FIND - never did manage to fit for some… Continue reading One Little Word – Worth
Last year, I worked through most of my 18 for 2018 list and I am feeling pretty good about what I did manage to do. I have carried forward the things I still want to accomplish (which I started last year but did not finish) and I have added a whole load of new goals.Some… Continue reading 19 for 2019
It is my favourite time of year. The summer ends and we start anew. The leaves start changing into golds and reds and oranges and the wind cools. Cardigans and boots get pulled out of the cupboard. Hearty dishes appear on the weekly meal plan. I do so love this time of year and yet… Continue reading The Shortest Season
It is not his birthday (that was five months ago almost) and it is not any other important date but I just had this powerful realisation that if I didn't write today, right now, while I am thinking of it, I might never write this poor lad a blog post telling you all how amazing… Continue reading Two Years Five Months
We are just over a quarter of the way through the year and I have read 15 books which I am pretty happy about. According to Goodreads.com, I am one book ahead of schedule and I have read a fair variety of books including these two which have become new favourites: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray… Continue reading 50 Book Challenge Update
One of my 18 for 2018 items was to get my One Little Word album prepared for the year. I did most of this early on in January but one of the cards asks you to reflect back on the story of the month so I have only just finished the prompts for January today.… Continue reading One Little Word – Find
2017 was yet another year in which I did not manage to reach my long-wanted goal of reading 50 books in a year. I did manage to reach a personal best of 42 books though so I am pretty pleased with this and I am as determined as ever to reach my goal (still aiming… Continue reading 2018 Reading Challenge
This year I have been enjoying the Happier with Gretchen Rubin podcast as well as Happier in Hollywood. Gretchen and Liz (her TV writer sister) are creating 18 for 2018 lists and since I have been missing my birthday lists, I thought I'd jump on board. I have made most of them finite things I can do… Continue reading 18 for 2018
It has been such a long time since I have written book reviews for the books I am reading - I used to review every single book. I stopped because (amongst other things) I didn't really enjoy writing about a book straight after reading it. Either the books I read were powerful, in which case… Continue reading Favourite Reads of 2017
There was a fire somewhere last night. The smell of smoke was thick in the air and when I opened the windows to check the fire was outside and not burning away somewhere else in the house, the street was clouded. The acrid taste made me feel queasy and I searched online to find out what… Continue reading Meandering
