Currently the amount I have going on is making me feel as if I am trying to juggle knives, melons and eggs while spinning plates, blindfold, on a trampoline. So – since I have learned from the past, and these days do my best not to make my life any harder than it has to be – I’ve decided to pause all posting on both this monthly substack newsletter and my blog for the time being.

If things1 go according to plan I hope to be back to writing and posting by the time spring has properly sprung in the northern hemisphere. However I refuse to tempt fate by declaring an actual date for the resumption of posting.
I’ve also decided, given how little free time I currently have, that I’m going to really curtail how much I’m around online in general; the world is not a very happy place right now, doomscrolling isn’t going to make any of it better and might make my ability to function worse.
That said, I will still be sharing daily “the small things spreading joy” pictures on Bluesky so I’m not disappearing entirely.
For now, though, I’m sending you all much love and wishing that, over the next few months, we all get to where we need to be as swiftly and easily as possible.
Things being, mostly, the sale of my parents house.
Thinking of you.
You're not alone in feeling that way, so giving yourself some breathing room is exactly the right thing to do. We'll be here when you're ready to come back. Wishing you peace in the meantime x
