“It is easy to see the beginnings of things, and much harder to see the ends…”
These are the words that begin my favourite piece of writing by my forever muse Joan Didion. They’ve carried me through the many beginnings and ends of my life of late, but this evening I’m unsure of how to take them.

I told myself many years ago, when I would still respond to 2am messages with kindness and love that wasn’t deserved, that I would never sit around waiting for someone to text me again. But here I am, some five or six years on. And I can’t shake the lingering feeling in my gut that the worst is yet to come.

The best part about Peaks & Pits lists is there is often little to no context. Sometimes you’ll get the references, sometimes you’ll learn something new. From time to time it’s an inside joke. But I feel like Nestfest was the first event of the summer that really deserved reporting on. Amid the tree-filled parks […]

It’s been a really long time since I’ve written something just for me. Most of the words I have been writing in these last four years have been for others; sharing news, building businesses. I would be lying if I said I hadn’t lost the joy of it all. But when there are moments of […]

If 2016 was the year of realising things, then 2017 is the year of realising things – in the marketing sense of the terminology. It’s making things happen. In 2016 I got angry because as much as mum and I could try, we weren’t the Gilmore Girls. And believe me, we tried. One afternoon we […]

Hasn’t it been the longest time? A month and a half and my social media hiatus has been going swimmingly. But by the looks of it, I’m back. It wasn’t necessarily a pre-planned decision. I didn’t make a big deal about it. There was no sudden reason. I woke up one morning and decided to […]

Recently I found myself in a discussion (I wanted to say debate but we all agreed with one another) about how we should each be given the opportunity to pursue five different lives, as opposed to just the one. I can honestly say I do enjoy studying. I love learning knew things and although the […]
