Turn Your Handwriting Into A Font (It’s *So* Easy)

Turn Your Handwriting Into A Font (It’s *So* Easy)

Right up there in the things that bring me jolts of joy are colour palettes and fonts. I just love how they bring projects, even personal ones, to life; giving them an energy and identity of their own. While I have created some fonts (and sell them), I wanted to share how you can do so with your handwriting - it's ridiculously easy and quick.

A Letter To You If You Don’t Have ‘A Village’

Dear You, They say "It takes a village" and you hate that saying because it's a stark and painful reminder that you don't have one. It hurts, it rankles and it smarts doesn't it?! I know that you often feel alone, depleted, invisible and torn. As though there's nowhere or no one in which to turn for help. You might at times feel jealous of those who do have support. Anger, too, at your circumstances. Regret for the choices you may have made. Despair at the choices which felt as though they were taken from you. Exhaustion at the monotony of it all, wishing and wanting and needing a break.

Body-Doubling For When You’re Struggling to Focus OR Get Started On Tasks

You know how you hear about something new and then you hear about the same thing a few more times before you really take note? I was the same with Schitt's Creek and in more recent times, body-doubling. The term 'body-doubling' is one I've only just learned about but it's a notion I recognise as a mechanism I've used as far as I can remember to focus and get started on things.

A Christmas Gift Guide for Pre-Teen Girls

I do not like choosing gifts for people. In fact, it's a huge source of stress for me. Will they like it? Do they already have it? What if they pretend to like it? What if they're disappointed? Thankfully, we have a long-held family tradition of sharing gift lists and I'm really grateful we do. With that in mind, and because this pre-teen age is one I find tricky to buy for, I roped Peggy into helping me craft this gift guide for pre-teen girls in the hope it'll help you in the same way our lists help me.

Readwise: A Really Nifty Tool For Your Kindle Highlights

As I read books on my Kindle, I tend to highlight the bits that resonate with me or the bits in non-fiction books which I'd like to action. All of these highlights are accessible on Amazon but I'm never sure what to do with them there. In the past, I've printed some and filed them but I prefer a paper-free digital office space. It felt as though I was highlighting and that those highlights would then just lurk around somewhere in the background, never to be acknowledged by me again.
