I notice
her immediately. Strong arms, open smile. Hair of the raven. Sharp eyes seeking to know, to understand. Unexpected laughter. Wit. I focus my attention. Deeper we go. Athena, Goddess of war. Yes, yes, I see you there, hiding in your ever so sensible shoes, and corporate blouse. You can’t fool me. I’m with you on…

Seasons change
as do people. Today the colder air is rolling in. And it reminds me again, how much I love the rain and the cozy hygge winter brings. Candles, pillows, fluffy throws. I’m sure I’ll miss the heat of summer, eventually and the early morning daylight. For now, though I’m luxuriating in the crisper weather. People …

The darling switch
actually exists, Dear Reader, and is in fact fully functional, albeit not well documented, in both the male and female of the species Homosapiens. An oversight I will now attempt to correct. The trick to enabling said switch is that it’s physicality is inconsequential. Its activation therefore relying, instead on non-mechanical means. Some say that…

And then
you do it all again. You come on over and flick the switch into overdrive and that good ol’ black magic comes flooding back in. You are magical in your everydaynes like the perfect double espresso, and conversely also in your wildness, your crazy freeness and your amazing playful spirit. A considerate hedonist, perhaps 😉…

The trouble with birthdays and other unexpected firmware updates
Well, for starters it’s that you’ve probably never really considered birthdays to be in the problematic category at all, or, by sharp contrast, perhaps you have anchored them in that very category for so long that you literally cannot fathom them to be worthy of any other type of classification… probably ever. And herein lies …

The payoff
is not always obvious from the outside, yet is is always there, lurking just under the surface, its scaly alligator body, stealthily hidden. Mother Theresa I am not, although this supposedly saintly woman has had to deal with some less than stellar reviews too, it seems. See, I’m a helper, to be of service, is…

To say
that my imagination runs mild, would be to say that I occasionally drink coffee, if there’s no access to water… completely ridiculous! So if yours is like mine, and yes, we’re still talking imagination here, then you’re probably also jumping to all kinds of wild conclusions, chasing crazy cars, and generally getting side-tracked, and sometimes…

Is it beautiful
where you are? Have you built a life that feeds your soul and spirit? Is there music, and laughter, and kind words? Is there time to exhale and relax and just be? Is there great food, and parties, and fun? Is there birdsong, and moody clouds, and rainy duvet days? Is there good chocolate, and…

I had to pee by myself, and other atrocities
Isn’t it funny how you can only really miss someone, once they are not there? Only, it’s not funny at all! These random happiness gaps that special people leave in your life, albeit temporarily, can be super inconvenient at best, and quite devastating at worst. So today, know that there is a you-shaped hole in…

We are
built for kinship, for connection. To be with good people, who get us. And people who have seen us live, and love us anyway. People who share the same thread we do. Who have seen similar demons, and have tried to hide under the same beds. They are us, and we are them. And there…
