It sometimes seems so easy to say "I got this." I read the post below - and realised I still have more to do to fix and find myself. https://iceprincess7770.wordpress.com/2024/11/23/self-compassion/
Helping Myself to Find and Fix Myself
Making Annoying Speech Patterns Work For You
Sometimes I catch myself mid-conversation realising I’ve veered off course, lost momentum, or just plain confused the poor bugger trying to keep up. Whether I’m rambling, mumbling, or being a bit too clever with my words, I know I’m not alone. We all have our quirks when we speak. While some habits are better off... Continue Reading →
Letting Go: The Value of Decluttering My Life
A thought crossed my mind last night whilst listening to Jimmy Carr chatting with Stephen Bartlett about his reflections on life, particularly about all of us wanting more, yet less discontent in the moment, and enjoying the moments we have the chance to live. A few months ago, after a life-changing moment, I culled over... Continue Reading →
Rewriting My Life with Better Categories & NO Hashtags!
You may not have noticed: There are NO MORE TAGS on my blog. Yes - I deleted the lot. Why? Because most were words within the article - which effectively made them duplicates, therefore redundant. What replaced them? Just honest categories that represent where I’ve been - and where I’m going now that I am... Continue Reading →
Things That Get Better With Age

Here’s what I’ve found actually gets better... Continue Reading →
Maybe the Universe Whispers, Not Shouts
I’ve lived most of my life believing things happen because we either make them happen or we learn to deal with them when they don’t. Cause and effect. Effort and consequence. But lately… I’ve been noticing things. Not changes, just seemingly unrelated events that seem to echo each other just enough to make me pause.... Continue Reading →
Rewriting the Book of Life: One Synthetic Chapter at a Time
This isn't something I would normally write about, yet whilst seeking information about my own chromosomal abnormality, I had the urge to seek more information about bio-synthethic humans. From there, this article flowed out of me: Ever dreamed of building a human genome from scratch — not editing, but writing it, start to finish? Well,... Continue Reading →
Today I Didn’t Find Work – Yet Found Purpose in the Everyday Moments
Today wasn’t a work-day — at least, not the window-cleaning kind. No squeegees, no ladders, no ocean-view glass panels. But still, something meaningful got earned — just not the kind of thing you'd ever see on an invoice. First stop was the local op shop. I donated a pile of things I’d once thought I...

Daily Declarations: Building a Grounded Life with Grit and Grace
What follows are declarations from a book that changed my life, attitude, and peace of mind way back in mid-1995. I’ve remembered them ever since. They've helped to remind me to laugh when I can, to push through when I must, and to see every setback as part of the climb. Whilst life has thrown... Continue Reading →
