Baseline Busy
I remember a time when I had one of those 'What did you get up to at the weekend?' conversation. I reeled of a few things but overall I felt like I hadn't gotten up to much. However, to my surprise the person I was in conversation with thought that my weekend was actually a busy … Continue reading Baseline Busy
Who’s it for?
The answer might surprise you, or not. By 'it' I mean this blog, the words, my writing. I used to think that it was for you, that I was doing this because I had some great message to share with you and that it would hopefully inspire you in some way (or something along those … Continue reading Who’s it for?
Why I don’t beat myself up for forgetting to post
If you're an avid reader of this site you may notice that I actually haven't posted every single day. You may also notice that the day after I don't post, I post twice. I could just backdate a post to the previous day and pretend that I didn't forget but I did forget and I'm … Continue reading Why I don’t beat myself up for forgetting to post
What I think of my old blog posts
The words I shared in January weren't perfect. In fact they're on the opposite end of the scale and I winced last week reading through them. My writing style was not where I thought it was. It's wasn't witty, clear, concise and well written like I had hoped. It was scattered with errors and I'd … Continue reading What I think of my old blog posts
Here’s an idea

The idea of a podcast appeals to me for various reasons, one of which is that it'll help me to use my voice more and give me a space to speak about things I don't usually talk about. And it reminds me about why I started blogging in … Continue reading Here’s an idea

Day 183
When I started this blog 6 months ago I never really considered what I wanted it to be. I just knew that I wrote a lot and thought it would be nice to have somewhere to share it. The months have flown by and knowing that I'm committed to finding a 'gemm' each day is … Continue reading Day 183
Is this worth sharing?
A question worth asking before you click publish in order to avoid that dreaded feeling of sharing something you're not happy with. Not everyone will get something from what you share each day but that's not the point. The point is to share something you're happy with. If it sparks a thought or shifts a … Continue reading Is this worth sharing?
Alphabet soup
One afternoon I decided that instead of going to lunch at the usual place with the usual people, I would have alphabet soup. This means nothing more than I sat alone with my headphones in listening to music ranging from The Preatures to Chance the Rapper and The Stone Roses to Amine. I was sat … Continue reading Alphabet soup
