A Late Bloomer… or Right on Time?
So… I got accepted into the Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice + Social Work and I’m frothin’. Like, proper buzzing! I know, I know……I’m a little “late to the party” (I’m 4……something…..a lady never tells 😌) But maybe this isn’t late at all. Maybe this is perfect timing. I’ve spent years learning humans the…

Be the change
The world is changing ~ fast and not always kindly. Every click, every scan, every “upgrade” seems to pull us further from each other. The digital ID ~ they say it’s for safety, for convenience ~ but I can feel it tightening. Control disguised as progress. Comfort wrapped in compliance! But I believe the real…

Always You — by Chloe Fisher
RainMinded Reflections ♡ I just finished Always You by Chloe Fisher and woah, I’m still feeling it! I don’t even know this sista, but somehow, after reading her story, it feels like I do ♡ This book isn’t just a memoir — it’s an experience. I laughed, I cried, I felt every single word. I…

The Invisible String
There’s this invisible string that ties us to our babies ~ one that never really fades, no matter how old they get (my oldest is 25!) I feel it every day. A gentle tug when I think of them, a pull when they’re struggling, a little spark of calm inside me when I know they’re…

Let’s Talk About Talking (a.k.a. Gossip)
There’s something a little icky about gossip, isn’t there? That slow drip of conversation that starts as “concern” and ends up twisting into something that leaves a funny feeling in the pit of your stomach ♡ Lately, I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to fall into it ~ even accidentally. Small towns, small…

The Art of Surrender (Part Two)
So…..remember that post I wrote about letting go? Yeah. I have a confession. When I wrote it, I wanted to believe I’d fully surrendered ~ that I was gliding through the storm with barefoot grace and enlightened calm 😳 But honestly? I was more like clinging to the steering wheel of life whispering, “I’m fine,…

Letting go!
Wow! That one really knows how to test me. (And if I’m honest, I’m a little stubborn when it comes to “surrender”) It’s not a neat chapter with a clear ending ~ it’s a lifelong rhythm of release, a practice of surrendering again and again……. This week, I’ve had to say goodbye to a lot.…

I Would Really Like to Exclude Myself from This Narrative
The world feels unsettled lately and I can feel it mirrored inside me. Life lately feels like a roller coaster with a dodgy safety bar and I’m ready to get off, stat! We’re back in the rental market (send prayers, crystals and snacks) And wow ~ it’s hectic. Like, if the Hunger Games and “The…

It’s Not Giving Up ~ It’s “Maybe Not Right Now”
Isn’t time a funny thing? One minute you’re cruising along, everything flowing, plans falling into place ~ and then bam ~ the universe hits shuffle! Suddenly what felt easy starts feeling heavy. The to-do list multiplies overnight. Your brain starts doing that tap dance between “I’ve got this” and “I might actually combust” I’ve been…

When the Ground shifts
Well… this one’s a little hard to write. We’ve just been given notice ~ 90 days to move out. And while I know “home” isn’t always about four walls, this place has been our sanctuary. It’s hard to imagine leaving it behind :'( Uncertainty is a funny (and slightly cruel) thing. You tell yourself to…
