About the author
Welcome!
I am a recovering perfectionist. Probably always will be – the quest for beauty and excellence is in my makeup. (Specifically, my character makeup… although I’m working on a reliable liquid eyeliner technique too.)
​
I am also a recovering people pleaser. I have years of experience following safe and well-trodden tracks in search of fulfilment. But underneath, a niggling feeling that I couldn't ever be content without the blissful joy of noticing new and different trails just off the beaten path.
I am naturally drawn to push back ferns and peer behind tree trunks, to gasp with wonder at the unexpected, glorious treasures I find. And of course, to share that joy with you!!
​
This is my first blog. It is an exercise in rediscovery; a blank canvas for me to paint my bolder colours, energy, wild joy and glittering imperfections, in whatever form they take!
​
If in these lil snippets you find words or images that resonate with your heart too - let me know!! I can't wait to hear your thoughts :)
​
With thanks
Thank you to the authors who inspire me
Through their truth- and beauty-seeking
Through their surprising and frank quips
You paint the world differently
And remind me;
Even on my own, I am never alone!
​
Thank you to the people in my life
Who share their love, compassion, beauty and wit
Who embrace the real me, even when I don't!
You are all jewels
Shining, gifted, sewn lovingly into the fabric of my time here.
