The uncommon thread, a book recommendation

The uncommon thread, written by Laurie Douglass was the april book for my book club. It is a short read with 230 pages in the print version. I read it in two sittings during night shift at work. Before I go into detail, which will contain spoilers, here the official summery from Amazon. "Paddy Duncan …

About writing, letters and the magic of words

I am a writer. I am a writer. Always have been, probably always will be. I write since I can think. Maybe the other way around, who knows. Writing is everything for me, has been everything for me. My saving grace, my outlet for fury and anger, my practise arena for difficult conversations and new …

Goals 2024

I already hinted it in the last blog post that I still am figuring out my goals and goal planning approach for 2024. Last year I chose goals that I - in hindsight - couldn't possibly even dream of achieving. Some of those goals simply didn't fall into my responsibility like repairing the ceiling of …

Hello 2024

Wow, 2024. The past year went by so fast, sooo freaking fast and at the same time it felt like it went on forever. I dropped of the radar mostly in the second half of 2023. Not because I didn't want to write blog posts any longer but because I felt like I failed - …

June check in

Big things happening

Well, I thought that this would be happening later this month but hej, who am I to complain about something like this being done. Okay, okay, it's not entirly done since I still have the clean up to do and that will take a while. But from the beginning. In January I had a professional …

January in the garden

January in the garden usually for most gardeners is about planning, setting up planting schedules and figuring out what to plant in general. It also is about tending to your garden tools, repair things, buy new things if needed and stock up on seeds. Maybe even building garden beds. For me this january in the …

January Review

Well, what can I say? January was not what I had hoped it to be. Not as productive nor as stage setting as I had planned it to be. I was angry at myself for a few days about that but then it hit me that, well, I am still grieving. This is my first …
