Yesterday was the first day in a week that I woke up without a headache weighing me down. Last week was rough, with stubborn headaches taking over my days and leaving me feeling inadequate. I couldn’t read or write as I had planned. … More Of Headaches and Hopes
Yesterday was such a long day that I couldn’t publish anything. I sat down to write at night and almost finished a piece of fiction. I was happy to have penned something in my book, but… … More One Day at a Time

It’s been a while since I’ve let my thoughts wander freely on the page. Somewhere along the way, I began to avoid writing—not intentionally, but gradually, like slipping into silence without realizing it. Today, I’m giving myself permission to return. No pressure. Just presence. I am not sure what to write. It’s been a long … More Finding My Way Back to Words

Sharing a glimpse from my free-write session a few days ago Here is the edited version: My fountain pen is not working properly. Granted, days—no, weeks—no, months of negligence preceded this rebellious nature of my fountain pen. … More Ink Will Flow
Flipping through my gratitude journal is such a pleasant feeling. I notice many of the same lines appearing multiple times — the repetitions of my life and routines. And yet, I am grateful for those repetitions. They are answers to many of the questions hiding in the recesses of my mind. Perhaps that’s why I often find … More What Lies Beyond #FictionMonday
