Thank you for being here!

It has taken all of 23 years or so to finally pluck up the courage to create a blog (and not delete it several hours after its launch) and I find myself starting 2025 with a lot to say. I must say, I am happy to be here.

I have some big plans for 2025 which I shall document here as I go and naturally, many thoughts to accompany no doubt.

Why am I starting this blog? It is more of a project for my own satisfaction but if anyone finds themselves reading it, I’ll be delighted. I want to be a journalist and a documentary maker one day – a blog seemed like a good place to start.

Previously, I have shied away from posting my content for fear of what others think. As a good friend reminded me recently, you must be your own cheerleader, you have to be comfortable with promoting yourself because if you don’t, then who will? Also comparison is the thief of joy and the most limiting factor.

I am hoping this is the first post of many – may it be a diary entry of my solo travel around South America or a more profound piece surrounding grief, I am excited to finally get this off the ground.

Whether you are my granny reading this, a friend or perhaps from as far afield as the internet, thanks for reading and buckle up for 2025.
