...say something better tomorrow. Not everything you say will be good, perfect or profound. But that doesn't mean you should say nothing. So often we bite our tongue because we don't don't think that what we have to say is enough of whatever we think it needs to be. Next time you're about to keep quiet, … Continue reading If you haven’t got anything ‘good’ to say…

Feel the fear…
...and do it anyway. The feeling of fear often comes up in a situation that is new or when there is a level of uncertainty. We forget that it's human nature to have that feeling of anticipation and I think what we end up doing is confusing it for 'danger'. The kind of danger where … Continue reading Feel the fear…
Consistency, commitment and a lack of heart
There's a line from an oasis song that goes 'you can't get a life if your hearts not in it'' It's funny how a moody 90s band can just totally get you. I've been thinking about how sometimes it's easy to create things from a place of heart and feeling but other days not so … Continue reading Consistency, commitment and a lack of heart

Last night I read the news that the Notre Dame in Paris was burning, apparently it was 850 years old. Today I read an article about rich people offering millions to fix it. At first I thought that it was amazing that they were willing to offer so much money but then I changed my … Continue reading Paris is burning

Perhaps I simply fear being seen yet I'm happy to show up with my words online or my appearance in person through 'interesting' outfits. … Continue reading The fear of being seen
Thinking of you and getting things done
Sometimes I wonder about the people that read my blog. How old are you? What do you do for a living? Are you into fashion (I am!)? What do you like about my blog? What do you want to see more of? Some of those questions are worth asking more than others but overall I'm … Continue reading Thinking of you and getting things done
Monday night was special
There I stood on a Monday night in a room full of strangers, in a city that was slowly becoming more and more familiar. I was there to do something I never thought I'd get to do.

A return to childhood things
I was 18 years old sitting on a swing in a park at dusk. I felt lost at the time and also a little hopeless. I didn’t know what to do, what I should or even could do and so I sat swinging on the swing. It was a return to something I loved to … Continue reading A return to childhood things
