Ten months after leaving my corporate job (and 5 years of stop-start writing), I’m finally finishing my novel.

A short story and an article published is proof enough: I’m a writer.

The excitement’s back; this week it’s just me and the manuscript.

What better way to start the year than to celebrate all the high points of the last 12 months?
I created this celebration jar🎉 in Jan 2024 and added post-it notes to it throughout the year.
Reliving those moments of joy has been a real treat.

Calling all writers and lovers of writing. I tend to write at night and am curious when others like writing. I've had a recent wake-up call about it though...

Writing in the dark
Circadian rhythm be damned...there's something to be said for writing late, and I mean very late at night.

Beloved by Toni Morrison – a hard-hitting feat of storytelling by one of my favourite authors.

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes – just had to share this very unusual book that gripped me from start to finish.

An Orchestra of Minorities by Chigozie Obioma - loved reading this book when I discovered it 4 years ago! Full of twists and turns - and tears during the sad scenes.

A life transition is period during which a lot of change is taking place in our lives.
How well we cope with them depends not only on the number and intensity of life transitions we are experiencing, but, also on how adaptable we are to embracing our ‘what next?’

Working towards a change is possible as a solo effort, but it can be easier with the help of others. What if you could bring about change in a different way and learn something new about yourself in the process? #lifetransitions #lifechanges #BlackSky

Part of the life transitions journey involves letting go of uncertainty to make way for one or more new beginnings. A positive thought or even a hint of joy about what the future might hold are important first steps.

How to describe a life transition? A good place to start might be to cite some examples, including: moving house, a career pivot, retirement, empty nesting, health changes, dealing with loss or relationship shifts. It could also be a question of feeling the need for a new direction.
