Welcome to My Journey
Back to barefooted days, muddy adventures, and finding magic in the everyday
At 35, I'm on a mission to remember something we all seem to have forgotten: when did we stop climbing trees? When did we forget to laugh, to have fun, to find adventure in our everyday?
This is me going back to basics - back to slow living, long-form stories, and the beautiful messiness of a life lived fully. Not the polished 5-second elevator pitch version, but the real thing.
The Beautiful House We're Building
Life is busy. We've got so much going on, and somehow we've learned to put everything into separate boxes - work here, creativity there, health over here, dreams tucked away somewhere else. But that's not how we actually work, is it?
All these pieces - they're not meant to be segregated. They're meant to work together, like rooms in a beautiful house that we're constantly building, constantly caring for. Some days we're in the art studio, some days we're in the business office, some days we're in the healing room with our bodies. But it's all the same house. It's all the same journey.
This is mine.
What You'll Find Here
-
The Studio
Where painting becomes my meditation, photography captures moments of wonder, and creativity flows as therapy. This is where I practice mindfulness without sitting still.
-
The Writing Desk
Where dark fantasy stories come to life, where this journal lives, where I remember that writers write - even if no one reads it. Especially if no one reads it.
-
The Library
Where I'm always learning something new, just for the joy of it. Whether it's going back to uni purely for the sake of growing, diving into books that challenge how I see the world, or exploring skills that serve no purpose other than curiosity. Because learning isn't just about becoming qualified for something - it's about staying alive, staying curious, staying connected to wonder.
-
The PT Room
Where I'm learning to understand my body and chronic conditions, becoming qualified to help others navigate their own healing journeys. Because knowledge is power, especially when your body doesn't come with an instruction manual.
-
The Shop
Where my art and photography live, waiting to become part of your own beautiful house. Each piece carries a bit of the adventure, a moment of light found in darkness, a reminder that beauty exists even in the hardest chapters. Because sometimes we need something tangible to hold onto the magic.
-
The Business Office
Where I run The Emerald Agency, helping people understand marketing in our busy online world. Where I practice what I preach about sustainable business and working with your energy, not against it.
The Journey Back
Back to the barefooted youngster I was, climbing trees and getting muddy. Back to wonder. Back to slow mornings and long stories. Back to believing that ordinary moments can hold extraordinary magic.
This is me re-learning how to live slowly in a world that profits from our speed. Re-learning how to listen to my body, honor the seasons, create without pressure, build without burning out.
Maybe You'll Join Me
If you're tired of the elevator pitch version of life...
If you miss the days when blogs were journals and stories took time to unfold...
If you're curious about what happens when we stop segregating our lives into neat little boxes...
If you're ready to remember what adventure feels like in your own everyday...
If you want to watch someone fumble their way back to themselves, one muddy step at a time...
Then welcome. Pull up a chair. Let's see what we discover together.
