Drum roll……. I wrote a book! I published the book! And I finally, fiiiiinally released the book on April 24th at a very special book launch that was one of the best evenings of my life. The venue was perfect, the food was delicious, so many of my friends and family made the effort to […]
I’m feeling a bit disillusioned with this whole daily scribbling malarkey. Is there any point? Should I use the time to write daily on other things, things that aren’t public, things that I can work away on behind the scenes, like another book or less frequent blog-posts on specific topics? That’s how I’m feeling these […]
Now there’s a mile-stone: one hundred days of blogging every single day. Impressive! You know what else is impressive?! I managed to upload five new earrings onto our Caraliza Jewellery website today (and there’s a handy little link for you to go check them out!). I’m delighted because I worked damn hard two weeks ago to […]
I love being busy, I love having interesting things to do, working at the business, tackling “to do” lists and being on the go. Being generally busy (and by that I do not mean stressed out or up the walls) that’s what makes a day off so precious. And today was super-sweet. I spent most […]
Today was just plain weird. I drove Alex to a small craft fair in Blarney and then had the rest of the day to myself until I collected him at 4 pm. And it was one of those days where I sank down into an intolerable state of unease. I had a scone and peppermint […]
I went to bed and nearly forgot to write today’s post. Oops! Thing is, it’s late and I’ve to get up early tomorrow, extra early since the clocks go forward tonight. I’m not going to write a proper scribble today, it’ll be a kind of day off. I’m still more or less of sugar (I […]
I just discovered that I never posted yesterday’s scribble. Oops! I wrote it all up and then left it, planning on adding a photo from my phone later, as I often do. Only apparently I completely forgot about it. I’ve shared it now so today will be a double whammy of blog posts. Hooray! To […]
Day two of the coffee-fast and I’ve actually succeeded in staying off sugar today also. Yesterday when I felt unwell I gorged on chocolate and biscuits but that’s to be expected when you’re under the weather. I still don’t feel 100% myself, but at least the headache and the funny mental-fog are gone. It’s incredible […]
Today was interesting: I started my morning with a scone and a large strong coffee before work and on arriving to the restaurant, felt slightly out of sorts; agitated, anxious, jittery, uneasy. It was subtle, if anyone were to see me or talk to me, I would have been just fine, but it didn’t feel […]
“The last thing I feel like doing right now is writing a daily scribble.” It’s ridiculous how many times I’ve started one of these scribbles with those words or else wanted to… I really should write them earlier in the day. I even had time to do it this morning but I read the Sunday […]
