The weather forecast was amazing, and I had a good night sleep. I really itched to go out and we did! We went to a museum about an hour’s drive from the house, and it’s famous for its amazing sculpture garden and one of the largest van...
This post is entirely inspired by Rachel Maksy’s video she posted yesterday: my complete ineptitude to do a new to me yarn craft: nålebinding. This morning the headline of a triumphant article shouted at me that OpenAI now has created...
I keep forgetting to post this list! Funny too, because I was struggling in the last week of (bl)august to find something to share! So I’ve already read two of the books on my list. Feel accomplished :D The orange coloured ones are in...
I just wrote a draft post that was filled with doom and gloom and so much negativity. I wrote all that out of my system, then hit the back button on the top left of my screen, and hit “discard changes”. Poof. All that doom thinking gone...
I had such a good day yesterday. I was high energy, even went to do yoga, and I went to sleep with a smile. I had a bit less sleep last night, about 5 hours and my energy levels were definitely lower today. This morning I worked on a...
This is the fifth post in my 'hitting the digital brakes'-series. These are the previous posts in this series: the joys of imperfection Do we really need the latest tech My e-reader made me a worse reader Not everything needs to be in...
It’s the meteorological start of autumn! I’ve made a little zine filled with tiny poems I wrote about autumn. Most are from years ago, some are brand new. I’ve handwritten them in Procreate. I fear they may be unreadable but I’m sharing...
It’s so funny, sometimes I have a great idea for another blog post, but then I tell myself: STOP! You can’t post more things on one day on your blog! That’s just silly. Who said that? Who wrote the law that says: thou shalth not post...
I can’t believe it, it’s the end of August and I’ve posted every day this month! I’m so bloody grateful. I finally have a routine in my blogging again, after years of struggling. Forcing myself to post something every day also made me...
dear creative soul is a series of letters from my creative heart to yours Dear Creative Soul, Have you ever been hit by a swarm of gnats on a warm summer day? If you have, you know they buzz around your head in great numbers, and all you...
(this is a stream of consciousness post about how you can use your journal to find what you need to write) I feel lost, a bit, sad in my body. I don’t know why, really, I just feel it. I need to write a blog post. There’s a video playing...
This is the fourth post in my series called Hitting the Digital Brakes, where I explore my journey into my use of technology to ditching some aspects of it now. The first post in the series was about the joys of imperfection and in the...
One of the things I’ve most read about Dolly Parton in posts online is that people say there will never be anyone as good as her. I have pondered that ever since I read the first couple posts. Yes, there might not be anyone like her ever...
I’m writing this in my favourite cafe, while enjoying a cup of really good cappuccino. The weather is great, the forecast is that it’s going to get worse in the coming days, preparing the country for autumn, I guess. I’m so happy to be...
We went to the zoo in Emmen for my birthday! I took so many good pictures (and some crappy ones that bring me joy) so here is a LOT 🅰 These pictures were taken with my Campsnap Pro. The entrance to the Asia area of the park I made a...
