My name is Joanne, or Lennie, or Dave, or wife, or mummy. Depends who you are really. I’ve been noodling around on this website since 2007, making things, writing, getting married, having a baby, renovating a house, travelling, learning.
I’ve had a patchwork life, and a portfolio career, and this makes me happy. What makes me happier is connecting with all of you people out there who feel the same, about living in a way that pleases you, even if it isn’t always ‘safe’, and you don’t always feel normal.
When things get difficult, and I wonder about retraining as an accountant (my, but I’d be so miserable), I try to remember these wise words from Ralph Waldo Emerson
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and in too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.Let’s do it.
