I've moved back✨

After a few years trying to get my blog up on a different platform, I have now moved back home to WordPress. Although the other platform had more to offer when it comes to how I wanted it all to look at that time, it just got too expensive, and never really gave me that feeling of being inspired to write and share in the same way that I experienced here. So here we are. I’m excited about…

Books that Changed My Life

Now and again, I come across books that shift my way of thinking entirely. In this post, I will share some of the non-fiction books that changed my life. If you’re a curious soul like me, and you have a soft spot for philosophy, then you’ve probably already heard about, listened to, and read some of Alan Watts’ work, if not all of it. But, if you haven’t, I would highly recommend doing so. His…

A New Start ✨

Let’s talk about the last year and a half. To say that it’s been a weird and challenging one would be an understatement. The pandemic hit shortly after I found out that I was pregnant. By that time, I was already on sick leave from my job because I struggled with extreme nausea. I already felt slightly isolated at home, and then we really did become isolated. I felt very anxious about the fact…

The Year I Lost My Words

Word of the Year. It’s been a tradition of mine the last few years. Choosing a word is a great way to select a focus point for that year. I’ve never liked New Year’s Resolutions, mostly because I just never seemed to be able to stick to them. But to choose a word to be mindful of throughout the year worked really well for me.Last year I chose Writing as my word for 2020. I felt very motivated…
