As a person I am a big believer in the concept of decluttering. Of living simply. Of putting things in their place. In a very real way, for example, I love containers and I love to pack (and re-pack) stuff into neat little boxes which I painstakingly label. To put things simply, I love finding [...]

Its been a madhouse around here this past two weeks. Far too many projects and the whole hassle of moving office has been taking a toll on this girl- she’s not been sleeping too well, she has dreams of her having dreams about work which is oddly trippy and makes her think she’s in some [...]

The things with owning your own company is that the buck stops at your feet. You can’t pass it on to anyone else, neither can you pretend its not there. Don’t get her wrong, this girl loves the idea that she has her own joint and really, this not having a boss to answer to [...]

She has been trying to sleep earlier these days since she’s feeling an odd bout of tiredness. Work’s pretty much alright; better since this girl has consistently, conscientiously and consciously cutting back and scaling down where work is concerned.

When this girl was living with The Parents, she had the room in the attic which meant that- for all intents and purposes- she was neatly tucked away in her own little corner of the sky. She had a little haven that was untouched and unsullied by the hustle and bustle that defined the household. [...]
