Understanding your goals to help you achieve them.
The Button
The Button There are grand victories in life, of course. People love those. The big, shiny ones. Promotions. Weddings. Marathons. Televised proposals involving drones and violinists. Entire industries are built around making ordinary people feel underachieving because they have not yet climbed a mountain, written a memoir, or launched a candle business in Byron Bay.

Absolute Zero
My husband has a little red bubble on his phone with a number in it that is higher than fifty thousand. I think the number is so big now that the email icon refuses to display the whole thing, and instead just gives him three dots. As in, ... we guess you are NEVER going to read your email, and you clearly aren't bothered by the gravity of this number.

Freedom Becomes You, Darling
I think I've spent a lot of my life making excuses, going out of my way to convince myself that I am not worthy or capable of becoming the person I want to be. I am too flawed, too imperfect, too tainted to know what belonging feels like. My story is messy. I'm a conglomeration of broken fragments, I've hurt others, and I'm terrified of everything.

Relearning Joy: How to Make Room for Fun When You've Spent Years in Survival Mode
Joy is one of the first things we lose when we’re living in survival mode. When your life has been shaped by trauma, chaos, stress, or constant emotional labor, joy can feel foreign or even unsafe. You get used to being vigilant. You get used to prioritizing everyone else. You get used to pushing, enduring, coping, and “getting through.”

When you lose everything, you find yourself
When You Lose Everything, You Find Yourself There is a moment — and if you have lived long enough, you have felt it — when the ground beneath your feet simply disappears. It might happen in a single phone call. It might happen slowly, over months, like water carving through stone. One day you look around and the life you built, the person you loved, the job you defined yourself by, the health you took for granted, the dream you sacrificed for — it is gone. And you are left standing in the ruin of what used to be, wondering how you are supposed to breathe through something this heavy.

Ideas and Inspiration
Introduction I write these pieces often in the hope that people may get ideas from them and feel free to ask for advice. I always try and vary my writing but recently I have written three poems in succession plus a playlist and a piece of fiction, one of those was an entry to the Vocal "Sensational" Challenge. That makes me feel a bit lazy even though one of the poems has taken a couple of months of thought before I finally got it down. Neil Diamond said he took eight weeks to nail down the phrase "I Am...I Said", but my imposter syndrome traits still make me feel I am not putting in enough effort and I am being lazy.

I'm Not Whining. Top Story - April 2026.
Every "win" for me may seem trivial to you, but for me, they mean I have conquered battles that others don't see. The fights I have with fibromyalgia, grief, fixed income, and old age are all too real in my world. And I'm not special at all because I know others have unseen battles, as well. So, this is for you, too!

From $200 to a Lamborghini: Brandon’s Relentless Climb
At 22 years old, Brandon didn’t look like someone destined to own a Lamborghini. He drove a rusty sedan that rattled every time he pressed the brakes. The driver’s side window only rolled halfway down, and the paint had faded so badly that strangers often mistook it for primer. Brandon didn’t mind much. The car got him to work, and at that point in his life, that was enough.
