I have a story to share with you. Dreams come true. If you believe in yourself, anything is possible! In my 20's, I heard this sort of rhetoric all of the time in popular culture and thought it was true. Maybe it is, but not for everyone. Over the years, my motto has shifted. Last…
This week has been a strange mixture of happiness, contentment, and hope, as well as one filled with fear, sadness, shock. I am still processing. A few days ago, I experienced the joy of receiving two care packages for our family; one was filled with homemade food (vegetarian soup, sourdough bread, and chocolate chip cookies),…
Ireland recently entered its third lockdown. According to an article I read last autumn, we have some of the strictest restrictions in the world. In fact, the study found that the measures imposed byΒ NPHET and the Irish Government are tougher than any seen in the whole of Europe, Asia, Australia, America, Canada and the majority…
I have never used a planner, but am so excited to begin 2021 with my copy of the Brave Sis Journey Journal! It's the perfect organisational tool to set goals this year and map step by step how to achieve them. What sets it apart from other planners, is that it highlights the achievements of…
Happy New Year! True to my word, I'm posting for the second day in a row, in an effort to blog more frequently this year. Some days I might only share a photograph or a few paragraphs. I don't have any big blogging goals or even New Year's Resolutions. I just want to keep writing…

I've also been volunteering a lot of hours in an effort to keep my son's preschool open, leaving not much free time. (It's a Waldorf inspired, parent-run kindergarten where I've become heavily involved). Days go by…

Anyone else feeling on edge? My anxiety dreams leading up to the election were pretty intense. Last night I stayed up most of the night watching CNN. When I finally went to bed after Trump declared victory, I felt depressed and despondent. Thankfully I woke up to better news. At this moment Biden has 253…
It wasn't exactly a conscious decision to disengage from Facebook. There was a slow build up of disatisfaction as 2020 progressed.
