Missed you! Let's catch up...

Hello there. It’s only been about a billion years since we last spoke and I must say, I’ve missed our little intrigues here.

I feel as though I’ve lived about 3 lives since I wrote to you and while I don’t want to bore you with details, I fear we’re at risk of no longer recognising each other, and we can’t have that. So I’ll just give you the highlights.

The last few months have been the ones where dreams came true.

• I got married. I don’t just write by the light of a disco ball, I get married under one, apparently. ‘twas a secret backyard ceremony, under the fairy lights and just witnesses. (Little peek here.) This was also my first wedding as a florist, which leads me to the next point…

• Made a mid-life career pivot into floristry. Communications/marketing had all but officially broken my little sparkly spirit and now my world is filling up with flowers and it’s a dream.

  

  

  

• Girl is EN POINTE! I passed my pointe assessment a couple of days before my 42nd birthday. (Never too late to chase crazy, tiny-big dreams my friend.) In case you’re not as obsessed as I am, this is a ballet thing. Wearing those shiny pink shoes is a hard-won privilege and I’ve been recovering from injury and working towards this goal for yearsss.) I shared a snippet of my journey over here.

• Sarah Rushbrooke invited me to co-host the Flowers & Folklore podcast. We get to know a new flower each month, learn its origin stories and wild ways (sometimes mysterious, always surprising) and it’s such a joy to work on. I shared a bit of wedding behind-the-scenes in this episode here.

• Banished my overthinking to the Bad Place and changed my publication. I’m now writing under my own name. Got sick of trying to ‘know the niche, wear the niche, own the niche’ or whatever we’re meant to be doing and just want to write to you.

I’m more determined than ever to bring a little light your way here. I hope you’ll stick around, AND if you’re able to share some of your dream-come-true-highlights or any you’re working towards, I’d love to hear them, leave me a comment and we can chat.
