Well, she's been patient with me, the idea for this page. The tiny spark that wanted me to make something of her has persisted and finally perhaps I've listened.
I had originally thought to make this blog a travel blog, only though, these days I don't really travel much. I still think of myself as a traveller, but the reality is, I'm pushing middle age and after a bunch of years of working extremely hard at trying to better my career, Im exhausted and in a life rut with almost zero adventure and life is well, a little meh at times... Know the feeling?
Gods, how did I get here? I let life get in the way... I let life get away.
I got to the point where I was thinking, what's the point? I was deeply unhappy and frankly, my thoughts are that we have one shot at this life. One.
A year ago I fell down an internet rabbit hole and I came across a photographer who had just birthed a child. She had a loopy hand written sign hanging above the cot. It said:
What will you do with your one wild and precious life?
Faark. Those words are both inspiring and terrifying all at once and they've bounced around inside my head like an echo ever since.
We have one chance. Lets make the most of it.
So this is my living project. I'm giving healthy and happy a good hard go and Im going to try very hard at discovering a sprinkle of joy and a slab of contentment.
If nothing else, it's a quiet place where I can practice my writing and photography, both of which are loves that I have placed on the shelf to gather dust these past few years.
And so we begin...
