Live Full. Die Empty. #IBOT
There’s something that’s been playing around the corners of my subconscious for the last few weeks, trying to creep it’s way into the part of my brain that actually makes sense of my randomness. (Believe me, it can happen! ) It’s the idea that somehow, I’m supposed to be some kind of inspiration, because I published a book; not my words at all, but many have said that. And whilst I gratefully accept the commendations, and the support is beyond anything I could...

It’s eleven minutes till eleven at night, and once again I find my bed time being pushed back further and further, as my to do list stretches ever further. I finished the second round of edits on my book tonight. (Though it feels like the forty second.) There is just one more round to go before printing, and hopefully any changes from now on will be minor and quick. I’m sick of reading my words. So tired of being in my head. And I’m feeling kind of done. Done with writing,...

image credit I’ve been tired. So tired. I’m trying to maintain this blog, finish a book, be a great mother, an awesome wife, and also work as many hours as I can. (Boatman has a new job but the start date keeps getting pushed back.) I’m also trying to be me. To help others with stuff when they ask, to teach Kids Church on a Sunday, catch up with friends, and even attend the odd gala or two. It’s been crazy trying to do everything, and I find myself exhausted and not...

I mentioned last week that I’ve had a few issues with the kids lately. To be perfectly honest, this last holidays drove me nuts! Usually we have a couple of rough days, and then things calm down, but not so much this time. Last week was full on full time. Luckily for me, I know exactly why. Unluckily for me, I know it’s going to be a hard fix. But first, a story, Imagine that it is your first day in a new job. You arrive at work, get thrown a uniform, and are given a very vague...

Hello, good morning, how you do? What makes your rising sun so new? Every now and then, you come across a blog post, or a deep discussion, where someone wants to talk about their ‘theme song.’ And it invariably ends with the question, “what’s your theme song?’ which of course you can’t answer straight away because, lets face it, no one is instantly that retrospective about their own lives. Sometimes, however, you have a moment. A minute of pure, clear...
Read MoreJess’ Letter to the Corinthian Mother’s Group
Today, I thought I’d share with you something a little different. As some of you know, I’ve written a book, and am currently in the process of self publishing. I’m loving the entire process; not just the writing, but finding a book designer, and working with him and my illustrator to create the best looking manuscript we possibly can. So what is the book about? I hear you ask. It’s the diary of a stay at home mum. Literally a series of journal entries of a woman doing...
