Welcome to California

I first created this blog as a creative outlet when my life consisted of intermittent work, a lot of time with small children, and absolutely no sleep. I was never great at keeping up with it and when the pandemic hit, I was overwhelmed with life. The blog lay dormant, waiting for me to come back, which I never did. In fact, I eventually cancelled my domain and didn’t renew my website subscription.

I have been mostly #blessed, I know it. My life is a privilege. But it has also been a series of setbacks in recent years, probably since covid-19 upended things or we failed to put them properly back together after. The puzzle shaken and pieces lost. I find myself adrift again with no motivation and a deepening sense of wrongness.

I know a blog will never set things right in the world. I know a blog cannot transport us back in time to fix what went wrong. But writing has always been my safe space, my job and my hobby, my normal. I hope by writing this I can bring that old bit of predictability, normality, back into life. That little bits of joy can be found in the sharing for both the writer, and hopefully, you, the reader, as well.
