My medication makes me feel constantly fatigued. It’s super annoying and something that I fight to counteract. The fatigue makes me want to lay in bed all day and do nothing, especially on days when my asthma is triggered. Yesterday I...
I’ve started knitting fingerless gloves again. I love knitting these things, they are quick little projects and I want a stack in a lot of colours as I wear them throughout the colder months. They keep my hands warm while I work. I just...

Dear Creative Soul, I have a shelf in my library that contains all the books that inspire me to be creative. I can consult it every time I need inspiration, every time I’m stuck, every time I feel like I have nothing to create. It never...
Last week I happened upon a video about Nålebinding, an ancient Norse way of creating fabric with wool yarn. I immediately felt the pull to create something with this technique. I grabbed some yarn that was 75 percent wool and it...
A week from today I have the big quarterly checkup at the hospital again, and that had me really nervous this morning. I don’t like to dwell on those feelings. Thankfully, I’ve learned to deal with them: follow my two step plan to free...
I wrote a poem this morning, a poem filled with longing to write poetry. It’s one of many. This is the poem: I seek quietbetween these linessolace within breathcalm withinthe hum of wordsfalling into placethe confident energyof a poem,...
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...

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...
