This past weekend---week really---I did a lot of soul searching. Now, before you think I've slipped into some sort of existential crisis (again), let me reassure you that is not the case. (Maybe.) It is no secret that a few months ago I needed to return to a regular eight to five office job again after quitting my last position. Let's just say that the office life is rather....abrasive to my explorer's soul. I loathe being confined to a tiny cubicle for nine hours a day, five days a week. ...

Annual Report
A year ago to the week, I wrote about where I had been, what I'd been up to, and why my blogging had lost its consistency, committing to find it again through publishing a post weekly on Wednesdays.

“Oh, to be a Storyteller”
A few weeks ago, I shared my retrospection of what I had gained from the storytelling programme I was soon to be graduating from, but I never told you what I had written at the beginning as I embarked on that year long journey to discover that part of myself I had so long denied. As the world has now entered a new [Gregorian] year, and many are looking forward to what they want this year to be about, setting their goals to either lose that holiday weight, get that promotion, or buy a new ...
