Why I Quit my Job in Lockdown
I figured that given that I like to label my blog as a 'life blog', I should record the most important thing to happen in my life this year. I mean, really, it's not all that difficult to take that title given that not much has happened this year thanks to Corona, but it's still… Continue reading Why I Quit my Job in Lockdown
The 5 Minute Coffee Corner: August #3

A Year of Mindfulness – 26 – Nature
Nature is kind of my jam (bonus points if you get the reference!), so I physically rejoiced when I picked this week's card out of the jar. I love nature and being outside in it, so I knew this I'd love this week's challenge. This week, I was supposed to go outside every day and pick… Continue reading A Year of Mindfulness – 26 – Nature
