Retreating
When the sun and moon align, people gather together to view the phenomenon with the promise of each time being the ~est in our lifetimes.

Happy 2018
Another year begins with the usual hopefulness of what possibilities lay ahead. As I look back on all that I had laid out last year when time was my frenemy and naivety was embraced with the fervor of those who have no idea what is in store for them. Although I still owe the story…

New Year’s Resolutions: 4. Relationships
These goals are getting a bit easier in topics now – at least for me. Phew! 😅 2016 presented a number of challenges regarding friendships and tested my introverted nature regarding relationships.

New Year’s Resolutions: 3. Finances
Okay, so this is a BIG one for me/us as 2016 was a massive financial struggle once I gave up work and the benefit of paid housing. Little did I know what a huge challenge it was going to be to work out housing on our limited income. Now, I am not saying that we/I…
