2020: My Year Of…
Somehow we’re almost at the end of January. In some respects it really has felt like the longest month ever; the grey, damp days dragging out into infinity with the end seemingly never in sight. In other ways though, it feels like it’s gone quite fast and I can’t believe the first chapter of the…
Project Happy {Year 6}: Days 311-320
January feels like it’s lasting forever at the moment. Ordinary days and ordinary weekends. Just life ticking on. As always, this project keeps me focused on everything there is within the ordinary to choose to feel happy about.
20 Goals for 2020

2019: My Year In Numbers
In 2017 I took a leaf out of Suzanne from Inside Outside and Beyond’s blog pages and started tracking my year in numbers, measuring the year according to all the things that are important to me and which I value the most: family time; love and connection; travel; creativity; helping others and personal challenges/growth.

December 2019: The Moments In Between
I take hundreds of photos every month, and most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online. And yet the moments in time that those photos capture are just as important a part of our story as the other images that I do choose to share. I originally created this blog as a…
