I actually started writing this poem last week, but because I had company for a few days, the weekly poem took a hiatus for a week. I’m sorry about that. But I’m back now, and this week’s poem is sort of still in line with what I felt last week. That summer is ending, and Autumn is beginning. … More Poem of the Week: Season’s Turn
I wanted to go with a theme for the coming autumnal months ahead, so September is brimming with the sense of mythology and gods and magic. There’s a lot of books on my shelf, but these ones in particular I’ve loved. … More Book Recommendations: September 2021
Oh what a tale this was. It had more than several hints of greek tragedy, brimmed with ancient myths, gods, and heroes, and had almost a feminist feel to the tale. I loved this book, and I do think ‘Circe’ is one of my favourite female characters. … More Book Review: ‘Circe’ by Madeline Miller
It’s the start of a new month, and September is also the time when new terms and semesters start, where those of us outside of education start to wonder about decluttering ready for the winter, where many of us start to hunker down and pull out the warmer clothes. … More Super Seven Apps to Help with Wellbeing
This week’s poem is probably a mixture of things. Just under a year ago I had a terrible time with my mental health.

I’m sitting here on the last day of August, with a cup of Chai Tea (with a spoonful of sugar) waiting to be drunk, and listening to The Greatest Showman music, reminiscing on times gone by. … More Bullet Journal: September Theme 2021
I’m writing this towards the end of August and I can’t believe that we’re here. At the end of summer and the start of autumn. It feels surreal, and yet here we are. Many of us are planning for new school years, new semesters, whether we’re students or parents, and while I don’t personally need to plan in that kind of sense, I still feel that strange, almost innate desperation to plan and prepare for the cooler weather. … More Autumn Goals: Free Printable
This poem was inspired by a song, but also a little on how I’ve been feeling lately. The song is a new one I’ve discovered, called Paper Planes by Elina. I recommend you check it out. It’s a beautiful, lyrical piece of music, inspiring and melodic. … More Poem of the Week: Castles in the Air
As always with a series, you hope the second, third, fourth (or more) books hold up against the explosive first book. It’s a requirement isn’t it? A driving need, because you loved that first book so much you’re expecting something greater – or at least on the same level – of that first in the series. … More Book Review: ‘The Lost Tide Warriors’ by Catherine Doyle
I’m starting up a weekly blog all about ‘weekly reflections’, talking about subjects that inspire me, drive my thoughts and emotions, and hopefully give a place for others to reflect too. … More Weekly Reflections: A Note on Happiness
