NOW, HERE’S A NICE FRESH BLOG ESPECIALLY FOR YOU

I first started blogging back in 2010, but took a break some time ago to focus on other creative projects I was working on. Rather than pick up where I left off though, I’ve decided to start a brand new blog – a fresh space full of inspiration, creativity, ideas and ways of living gratefully.

International Women’s Day 2017

Today on International Women’s Day, we celebrate women of all ages, race and religion throughout history. My mum Adebi is my hero, my role model  who I have chosen to celebrate on this special day.  She’s the kind of woman I can only hope to be even a tiny bit like. I wanted to draw […]

I Love Lebanon

  As I felt the stones beneath my shoes and looked down, I couldn’t quite believe I was there. Walking on the same ground my parents and grandparents had played on as kids. The exact road my mother, wearing a white dress and flowers in her hair, rode on her father’s donkey to meet her […]

Research Advice for Writers

Bags packed – check. Writing tools at the ready – check. Nerves calmed – check. Ready to go? I think so 🙂 As you probably know by now, I’m off on an overseas research trip to Lebanon tomorrow. It is the land of my heritage, and is one of the settings in the historical fiction […]
