Last night, I had a dream that bordered on a nightmare. It was an elevator dream. But this one wasn’t the usual one about plummeting dozens of floors. This one featured everything else that could go wrong with trying to catch a lift. Let me set the scene – I was in a hotel, and... Continue Reading →
Beyond Words
Something core-shaking happened to me last week. But before I go into what it was, I feel like you might want some background info... If I’m being completely honest (which I always try to be), I’d been stalling for months on going deeper into some healing that I knew I needed. I wasn’t technically spiritually... Continue Reading →
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Two more sleeps. That’s it. Two more sleeps till the day is finally here. Till the ‘next part’ finally starts. It’s been a long wait. For those of you who don’t know, ‘the next part’ is the part where my favourite person and I get on a plane for 24 hours to start our life... Continue Reading →
Scars
Hands up who has an impressive scar? I don’t have anything particularly impressive, I’ve never had surgery, or major accident, but I’ve got a really clear scar on my forearm that I picked up a few years ago when I sliced it open on a nameplate (of all things!) at my old office. The wound... Continue Reading →
Some Things I Learned in 2021…
It was one year ago today that I left the corporate world. I walked out of my office without a swipe card or a mental to-do list for the following week, but instead I carried an armful of beautiful flowers, and a mini-lifetime (8 years’ worth) of memories. I learned a lot in that job... Continue Reading →
You Gotta Have Faith, Faith, Faith-aah!
Let me start off by saying this one’s a ramble…. But I have faith that all of these words have come out of my fingers just as they were supposed to… so I hope you enjoy it! Last week was hard. Really hard. I had all sorts of post-period hormones racing around my body, my... Continue Reading →
Meditation for Dummies
“Do you meditate?” – Ugh. Probably one of the most cringeworthy questions anyone can ask or be asked. I used to avoid any mentions of meditation more than a Covid hotspot, but if I’m being honest, I think it was because I was always secretly low-key jealous of people that somehow managed to meditate daily. Like, how on earth do people have their sh*t... Continue Reading →
F*ck Bravery
People have often called me brave throughout my life. I don’t really understand it. It makes me uncomfortable. I’m not uncomfortable because people have shared kind words, or shown some weird kind of awe when they say, “you’re so brave for doing that”, or “how did you find the courage?”, but there's something about the...

LGB-ecause I Love Who I Love
I used to be married. For seven years. To a man. And I dated a number of other men before that. But in November last year, I met a woman. An incredibly funny, super smart, beautiful, driven, inspiring, completely flawed, but absolutely perfect woman. Now, I wasn’t planning on getting into a relationship with a... Continue Reading →
I Am Important… But I’m Not. (Musings of a Self-Important Recovering Perfectionist)
In my ‘day job’, I am in middle management. I’m a Customer Service Manager, to be exact. In the grand scheme of things, my role isn’t particularly important for the existence of humanity. I will admit, I’ve made my place in the company somewhat valuable, I suppose – I always like to learn as much... Continue Reading →
