AUGUST 2026 – True to form, there is forever a reason to continue striving and trying to be the absolute best version of yourself. Every season, every month, every day, it is another chance to reinvent yourself and push upward. That’s what nature does, it never stops trying, so you shouldn’t either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doesn’t mean that everything you do is going to be gold, haha. But continuing to find ways to improve is the secret. Find that little patch of sunlight and showcase the best you have to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n

I spotted these waterlilies out on a bike ride and I wish I had had an easel and paints as they are worthy of a canvas. The photo doesn’t do their scale justice, they are massive in person. I probably should also carry a notebook around with me too, as I need to continue collecting ideas for future writing projects\/characters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t read any books from the 21st century in quite some time. Is there any new books\/authors that you’ve read that you’d recommend? I find I tend to veer back to the classics frequently and I’m curious what is peculating on the collective consciousness currently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
