Ten Things of Thankful #102

I feel like I should do better intros to these things – does that make sense? After all, we’re all about thankfulness in the midst of joy, adversity, the busyness and the sheer bloody BORINGNESS of everyday life, and yet so often I forget to mention, right at the start, how important it is to…

SHIT SHIT SHIT!

Blogging this from my phone even tho I said I never ever would – things change and just right now I need to get this out…need it out before I’m sick again because already I feel myself swirling into darkness and I may never come back. Shit, I may never come back! As soon as…

A Slip of the Lit. – A Five Star Attitude

A long time ago I came across a delightfully amusing (though rather terrifying) meme of Annie Wilks, which read “If you haven’t tied your favourite author to a bed and hobbled them with a sledgehammer, you’re not fangirling hard enough”. Of course this delighted the dark side of my humour, and I promptly stole it*…

Ten Things of Thankful #101

I wanted to start the next 100 weeks of the Ten Things of Thankful with something wonderful and sparkling, and we did have fun last week, didn’t we? It’s not over yet, either – the winners of the boxes are soon going to get a VERY SPECIAL MESSAGE from their designated co-host, who will send…

The Village needs a HUB – #1000Speak

Beyond everything, if I were to use one word to explain why I write and how I best operate in life, it is this word – connection (hopefully followed shortly after with ‘love’, but you have to connect with someone, or at least connect your brain and recognition to their humanity before you can begin…

Inner Workings of the Creative Whatnot

*Sits at laptop, drumming fingertips together and trying her best to look pensive as she gazes (internally (work with me)) at the beginnings of an idea for a post* *Reaches out for the idea (if you could get a kind of ‘Iron Man with those cool holographic plans he whizzes around in mid-air’ image going…

Every Paige Counts

There’s a book coming out TODAY, written by Mandi Castle (sexy beast extraordinaire and also, author (her official title)), and I think you should definitely read it. It’s called ‘Dear Stephanie’ (yaknow, I might even have mentioned it once. Or twice. Or a million times: here, and here, and here, and here) and it’s the…

Amongst the eaves and angels

I didn’t want to go to church this morning, and I was probably a little bit late-on-purpose, testing whether I’d allow my usual pattern of self-sabotage and regret to kick in. I went anyway, because I’ve found in the past that it’s when I least feel like going that there’s a really pertinent, useful thought…
