Still buzzing from seeing “Romeo and Juliet” at the Duke of York’s last night! The whole production was fantastic, the place was packed, and the energy was electric. The way they reinterpreted th...
Friday 21 June 2024 in 2024
Crushed it this morning! Squeezed everything into the first half of the day like a financial advisor cramming fees into a client’s portfolio. Rolled into the office at a crisp 7:30, fueled by a t...
Thursday 20th June, 2024 in 2024
So, dinner with Joanne last night. It wasn’t quite the relaxed catch-up I’d hoped for. She ended up running thirty minutes late, thankfully texting to apologise, but it threw the whole evening a ...
Wednesday 19th June 2024 in 2024
This is turning into one of those Wednesdays where even the fluorescent lights seem to be flickering in judgment. The Anderson proposal – a behemoth of legalese and conflicting demands – is threa...

Today, my heart overflows with appreciation for my incredible legs. They carry me through life’s adventures, from the mundane grocery run to the exhilarating mountain hike I conquered last month....
Sunday 16 June 2024 in Daily Gratitude
Today I am grateful for my hair. It’s one of my best physical attributes and I’ve been complimented on it since I was a little girl. I do very little to maintain it, apart from having regular tri...
Monday 17 June 2024 in 2024
Cracked open my eyes at 5:30 AM, the city still mostly asleep outside my window. Mondays are tough, but an early morning workout always helps. Hitting the gym early meant dodging the usual weight...

According to my therapist I might benefit from thinking about the things I’m grateful for. When I asked why, he said it helps develop positive thinking patterns. And this, I need. Admittedly, I s...
Friday 14th June 2024 in 2024
The aftertaste of yesterday’s meeting still lingers. Shadowing Ms. Davies at that corporate takeover was exhilarating. Seeing the intricate dance of negotiation play out firsthand - the polite ja...

Okay, so yesterday’s meeting with Mr. Harding left me feeling like a bowl of alphabet soup - jumbled emotions and all that. Shadowing Ms. Davies on a, well, let’s just say a non-standard client m...

The insistent chimes of my 5:45 am alarm are starting to feel like a personal attack. But conquering the gym first means conquering the day later, right? Throwing on workout clothes and a quick b...
Tuesday 11 June 2024 in 2024
The insistent chimes of my alarm dragged me from dreams of soaring interest rates. Another Tuesday; today, the porridge won, with berries and a sprinkle of almonds for protein. Yoga had to wait f...
Monday 10 June 2024 in 2024
By 7:15 am, I was at my desk, a strong coffee (two sugars, essential) warming my hands. Mornings are for emails and reports, a well-worn routine. Today, however, a new client application sparked ...
Sunday 9th June 2024 in 2024
Sunday. No blaring alarm this morning; just the faint grumble of Mrs. Higgins’s vacuum cleaner from downstairs filtering through the floorboards. A reminder of how old this building is. (My flat ...
Saturday 8 June 2024 in 2024
Exhaustion settles in a pleasant way after a productive day. Today was about conquering the blank canvas of my flat – Operation Spruce Up (I’ve dubbed it in my own head). My first stop was Claren...
Friday 7 June 2024 in 2024
Another Friday morning fueled by a lukewarm oat milk latte and the sweet, sweet promise of the weekend. My inbox remains a warzone, Johnson still freaking about his bonus, and apparently, there’s...
