Dear Journal, Mind blown - it's the 18th already! It also marks the last day of my parental leave. I'm feeling really good about it all. I've had an absolute blast lately. So much joy in my life with Everly being born. I'm feeling refreshed for work, albeit tired from broken sleep, but that's to [...]
Falling in love, in between time itself.
Watching her, I found myself in that moment, falling deeply, unconditionally in love. It's as if time slowed, letting me sit amongst its secret workings, I experienced the magic of love, happening in real time. Ivan.

Dear Journal, I can't put my finger on it. Something just feels a little odd lately, I think it's a combination of being tired, being immersed in writing, close to being back at work and never being 100% relaxed leaves me feeling somewhat itchy in my skin. It's an unusual feeling. I think it time [...]

Dear Journal, Yesterday was my most favourite day with Everly, I literally caught myself falling deep in love with her, in real time. She's just so perfect. Its my last week off this week.

Today however I managed to pick up a DC Comics version with the usual characters, Superman, Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman - it [...]

Dear Journal, I'm addicted. Officially, addicted to writing. It's becoming a daily habbit where I make my visit to the café, iPad in hand and just write. And I'm loving it. Without resistance the words just flow lately and it's fullfilling. On so many levels. The creativity, the reflection, the nostalgia, the relaxation, the therapy. [...]
What’s it like writing a manuscript for a book?
That's a big question! Before answering that- Welcome back! After closing the blog for three or so days, it's nice to be back with you. I missed everyone. But I did stick by my promise, I spent very little time on social, and virtually no time in wordpres. I read a few tweets and comments [...]
I’m closing the blog.
It's not you, it's me. I need a little break. I originally took this month off work to be with family and recover from burnout. I'm doing that, and it's definitely something I'm enjoying. But -- I need to close the blog. It won't be forever, and by that I mean for maybe, 3 days? [...]

Dear Journal, Spent most of the day indoors today, out of the ever increasing Sydney temperatures. Not even summer yet and yesterday was a vulgar 40°C, with today around 31°C. And to think we will peak at around 47°C soon enough. Save me! Little Everly Primrose is a little clingy to Mumma lately. She loves [...]
