Reclaiming blog posting... let's see how this goes

Hi Reader,

Reflection is a powerful tool.

I have shared some musings on my blog today as I step back from social media for a little while. If you follow me on social media, you may have seen this post. If you don't, feel free to read it on my website.

My hope is that, with time away from social media, I can build up my website, along with my connection to you, my art and me.

Fragile unfolding - new post

A note from my own space.

I’m taking a break from social media for a while.

Usually, I write to you via email or share thoughts in short bursts on other platforms. But today, I wanted to write this directly here, on my own website. It feels important to put these words in a space I own, away from the feed, away from the algorithm. A place where the silence doesn’t feel like rejection, but simply quiet. A journal, if you will.

Until soon.

Something different this time [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]...

A post in poetry Hi Reader, I knew it was time I sent you an email, it has been a little while. So this morning, I started with one poem, and then four came out!

A framed handlettered artwork of a colourful print with SURRENDER written on it.

Some thoughts on happiness [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]...

...and living a beautiful life. Beautiful accidents begin where control ends. This handlettered print is available on my website. Hey Reader If you are like me, you get a wiff of something and there goes your whole morning... That was me, pouring a coffee and then off on a long thought and research tangent. I got to thinking about the "good vibes only" culture, and why it might actually be doing us more harm than good. Not all methods labeled "positive" produce positive results, did you know...

On Trusting (and why play is the antidote to perfectionism)

The power of play Some recent pages from my junk journal where I experiment with no plan, just follow my instincts and play. Hello dear Reader, What if the antidote to perfectionism and decision paralysis isn't more avoiding things, but, actually more play? I have just posted another honest reflection about the loops my brain runs, questioning safety, second-guessing choices, and getting stuck in "what if?" territory. It's something I've lived with for a long time, and only recently...
