Introvert, Lover of Storytelling, Forever Daydreaming
(written 18 May 2019 – since then, I have embraced all the tools to get about, especially my new mobility scooter which I will write about another time). I’m beginning to let go of old expectations.

I feel like I’ve suddenly had an aha moment. Growing up and in my early twenties I was good at planning, loved routine and structure and thrived on it. I wasn’t the ambitious sort, and I have never liked busyness, but I was always prepared and on top of what I needed to get done.…

I haven’t blogged for a little while (I am learning to honour this cyclical nature of my creativity), but here I am – called to express myself again. When I opened up the blank document to write this blog I didn’t intend to write about my year in review or a look forward into 2020.…

Self-compassion is a fairly new concept for me, but in my opinion it should be something we all learn to cultivate in our lives.
