Thoughts on life’s greatest adventure

February 8, 2014

Oh tears. It’s a rainy Saturday morning and in the middle of morning pages and a cup of tea, I stumble across this.  So heavy with meaning and relevance, I am frozen at the table suddenly aware of all the things that matter and more importantly, the millions of things that don’t matter at all.

‘Twas the best night of our lives

January 5, 2014

Three weeks later and I’m still so high from our amazing holiday. I’m buzzing with nostalgia. What to do with all this energy? Wish I could bottle it up and save for days when life feels more routine than it ever ought to.

Despite her aloofness, […]
