  • 2023 Intentions – End of Year Review

    At the start of the year, I set a series of intentions in different areas of my life. It’s time to look back and see how I did. Daily Routines: I planned to try out a new habit each month and see what stuck in an attempt to level up my daily routines. This did not…

  • Looking Forward, Looking Back – August 2023

    Three times a week is a habit: For the second month in a row, it was a no, no and no. I’m still wanting to do these, so I’m recommitting this month. Read: Another small reading month with two books finished, but I was very close to finishing another two and they are finished now.…

  • Looking Forward, Looking Back – July 2023

    Three times a week is a habit: No, no and no. Blogging I’ve posted 1-2 times per week most weeks. I meant to start gardening once we returned home but have only managed to get out into the garden a few times. There is a fair bit of tidying up, and I also want to…
