Monday has arrived again, and somehow, the weekend disappeared faster than a cake at a birthday party. After the few mishaps of last week, I had high hopes for a quiet sanctuary. I successfully avoided the swing ball and the driver’s seat, but I forgot one thing: the house was full and too small to…
The morning is a quiet, grey watercolor. Outside, the rain is doing that rhythmic, soft dripping on the roof that makes you want to stay in pajamas until Tuesday. I’m sitting in the living room, cradling a mug of coffee and staring into the middle distance, watching the house slowly come into focus. Then, I…
Some mornings feel like they were scripted by a very tired comedian. I’m sitting at my laptop with a first cup of coffee, a dull headache, and a nose that has decided to retire from breathing. Outside, the neighbors are singing “Happy Birthday” to someone over the phone. I can hear every enthusiastic, slightly off-key…
Yesterday, at 4:15 PM, I was hovering in that strange purgatory between a Zoom meeting and the vegetable drawer, trying to decide if we were a pasta or a stir-fry family tonight. Then the pings started. First, a text from my mom: she has half a pumpkin to share if I want to drop by….
It’s been a while… Lack of motivation. Lack of ideas. Feeling lost and the feeling of “not having enough time”. Pressures of everyday life. Starting over in grade 1 – and failing at grade 1 math… I am glad I am not 7 years old anymore. My son is going through some things. He loves…

As the year reached a near end, and we are almost through 2025, I have been doing some reflecting on what happened in this past year. There is a whole list of things, some good and some bad. But what is so surprising is that if feels like this year just flew past. It feels…
Imagine someone walking in the street with a big, grey cloud hanging over their head. If they are anything like me, they will hate their wet feet in closed shoes, sloshing along the wet path. They will probably be just as grumpy as the cloud makes them feel. Maybe they are having a very bad…
I’ve been reading a lot of running tips, motivational texts as well as following positive people on Instagram. One thing I keep seeing is, all of them mention “Surround yourself with like-minded people”. Start a new hobby, go to the gym or do something you always wanted to try, sooner rather than later you will…
