Some of you might have noticed in my earlier post from today I mentioned how the two months have seemed bizarrely busy in a stressful, sometimes painful way. I also realised it’s been a while; I haven’t written as I once did; I’ve been negligent. Thus, I thought I would pause and share some of what’s been making Life seem messy, maybe even a brilliant one. To briefly recap: the new year began; at the end of the month I went out of town (that was an adventure, especially when my car decided to ...
Musings
What’s on my Shelf: January-February
This is going to be brief. It’s been a pretty crazy two months, which makes me wonder what the rest of the year will be like… Thus, this unfortunately means I haven’t done nearly as much reading as I’ve wanted. And remember, as always, SPOILERS! Everless by Sara Holland This book enchanted me for a simultaneously brief but lengthened twenty-four hours. The premise of the entire novel is fascinating. In an alternate historical fantasy world, currency is time which through alchemy has ...
The Original Cinderella

My Brilliant Mess
Let me tell you about my day... So I bought a filing cabinet to organise my amassing stacks of papers, trying to be an organised adult. I don't have room for a desk, so it's kind of replacing that piece of furniture I just gave to my sister. It seemed liked a good idea at the time, but I forgot one tiny detail: filing cabinets are usually deep. Very deep. How else would they hold so much junk? Thus, my initial designated location for my new piece became a bit, ...
Valentine Ideals
Yes, my mind is full of musings this morning. It usually is, but I decided to write more of them than usual today. I’m sure none of you need me to remind you what today is: it’s Ash Wednesday! (A-ha, gotcha!) Actually, it’s both Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day, but I’m going to address the latter, not the former as I jokingly indicated. Of course, I don’t really want to. I’m not a fan of the day, nor do I want to be adding to the noise. However, no one knows my perspective, so I might ...
