There are definitely trends in online photography- have you noticed that? Instagram feeds with sharp, clean, bright, minimalist images, often low-contrast, vaguely blown-out processing are 🔥 right now. While I admit the images are beautiful (I follow many feeds with those types of images), I can't do it. I'm a dark, gritty, lots-of-texture-with-a-pop-of-colour type girl. I can't help myself, man. It's what I'm drawn to. But still, as I say, I continue to follow those feeds for inspiration. Because balancing Stretching Yourself With Knowing Yourself is what it's all about.

Since I work for myself, I hereby decree that we shall institute Casual Fridays in my organization. This means moving all work from the office to the sofa. Hot tea and red blanket mandatory. Occasional nap, optional.
My grandpa - a tall man of about 6'5" - had a special fork that he, and only he, would use at mealtimes. It was silver and duly tarnished - and it was HUGE, the largest dinner fork I'd ever seen, then or since. It was understood that no one was allowed to use that fork: "Grandpas fork" was his, and his alone. Grandpa died in Trinidad years ago, in 1989, but a few years ago I was rummaging through my mom's cutlery drawer here in Houston, and there it was. "Grandpa's fork!" I exclaimed. My mom smiled. "Yes," she merely said. I returned the fork to the drawer, and picked a different one to use for my snack. I love when inanimate objects become so associated with their owner that it starts to feel a bit odd for someone else to use it. In our house, I think my tea mug is starting to get that way - my old, blue, polka-dotted tea mug, that I painted at one of those DIY ceramic stores. Chipped and highly imperfect, kind of like me. 😊
