Recently I did a little experiment in which I journaled for 30 days. Well-spoken people with blogs, Youtube channels and prominent social influencer status claim journaling gave them deeper, more profound insight into their minds, as well as helped them sort out their thoughts in a stressful and/or difficult time. After becoming emotionally invested in … Continue reading I kept a journal for thirty days.
My very best ideas come from closing myself off from the world as best as possible.
Working on my book has taken over the majority of my life. It feels good, like how I used to work creatively in university, and I've missed the atmosphere a lot. Alone in the place I call home, left only with the limits of my thoughts (well, and my three cats) and creativity, as well … Continue reading My very best ideas come from closing myself off from the world as best as possible.
The time I regretted deleting one month of work and decided to write a blog post about it.

It’s already the end of October.
Since the beginning of October I've started my day breathing in fresh air. In the mornings I open our large sliding door and welcome in a rush of cool autumn air, while taking in the view of the fog-enveloped valley below that peeks at me through the trees. Trevor and I have three cats who love … Continue reading It’s already the end of October.
How wonderful it can be to let go.
Autumn sunsets are filled with such comfort. Maybe its the gentle glow of the sun as it dips below the purple mountains on the horizon, or, maybe its the sweet stillness we experience here on top of the mountain I live on. Whatever the reason, I'm grateful for the sweet slow-burn of a fall sunset. … Continue reading How wonderful it can be to let go.
