This moment, This Look

This Monday looks a little different. I’ve actually been looking forward to this particular Monday because there is so much I want to achieve this week, especially when it comes to my career.

Hi guys, welcome to October! I hope you had a productive September.

I think a lot of us have been there. You hear that someone has lost their mum, dad, sibling, spouse or someone incredibly dear to them, and immediately you think:

This week has been an incredibly sad one.

For the longest time, I thought my love language was words of affirmation.

Yesterday, I officially printed something I’ve been working on, and I was ridiculously excited about it.

It’s the weekend, and I thought I’d share five things from this week that I have absolutely loved. And honestly? It has been such a good week.

Today, I am giving myself permission to say it: I am tired. I am overwhelmed.

Hi, guys! I cannot believe it has been almost a month since I last spoke to you. So much has happened, and there are so many updates I want to share, but I feel like today should be about something else.

A few days ago, I saw a post that said something along the lines of: If you’ve offended me, don’t say good morning to me. Don’t say hello. Don’t say hi when you haven’t said sorry.

Happy New Month, everyone!

The 12th was supposed to be ordinary. A 4 a.m. alarm. Coffee. Loud music.

As July comes to an end, I can’t help but look back and smile. We started the month with so much ambition. Looking back, I realised something surprising. The biggest lesson July taught me wasn’t about working harder. It was about changing how I think about Mondays. There were so many things I wanted to achieve, and while I didn’t tick every single box, I’m genuinely happy with how July turned out. If you’re reading this feeling like you didn’t achieve enough this month, especially if you’re a parent, I want you to give yourself a little grace. The children are home for the summer. If you’re like me and your children have been home for four weeks already, I completely understand how overwhelming that can be. And if they’ve only just started their holidays, I understand that too. Summer changes everything. A little while ago, I shared that this summer, our focus is preparing for the new school term. I’m still planning to share the learning schedule I’ve created for the boys, but this has...

Some things in life reward you immediately. You study for an exam and pass. You clean your home and instantly enjoy the difference. You send an invoice and get paid.

It has become an obsession.

There have been a few moments in my life where I completely lost myself. Not because I wasn’t intentional. Not because I didn’t have dreams. Not because I suddenly stopped caring.

Today’s quote is: “Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don’t fight them. Just find a new way to stand.” That quote is deep.

Oh my goodness. I can’t believe it’s the last Monday in June already.

Some days I want to fight. Some days I want to disappear.

Whenever people ask questions about purpose, I often find myself returning to this chapter. Because before we start asking what we are meant to do, perhaps we need to remember who we were created to be.  We are created in God’s Image
