Five things about me

December Reflections Day 7

Our yard the other day: a big blank canvas for this aspiring gardener!

I may have been a little too ambitious thinking I am going to post every day this month! I am actually working on a new online course at the moment and that is taking up a lot of my time and energy. So we’ll see how it goes, I do enjoy the prompts and writing more again…

Here are five (very random) things about me:

1. Whenever someone writes about ADHD traits I feel seen and find myself nodding along a lot. Yet every online test I’ve done says I am not and I think that’s probably correct.

2. When we looked at the house that we ended up buying this summer I had a ‘vision’: I was in the yard, holding a vegetable I had pulled out of the ground, looking fit and healthy, with a big smile on my face. This was interesting because I’ve never been a gardener, I lived in apartments most of my life and barely kept my balcony plants alive. It was a strong vision and I can’t wait to see where it takes me.

3. I play Wordle and Spelling Bee every night and exchange results via WhatsApp with my 19-year old nephew in Germany. We started this when they visited us last summer and we’ve kept it up.

4. I have always loved astrology and the Enneagram but it is the accuracy of my Human Design chart (I’m a 3/5 Projector) that has blown my mind. It’s like a stranger explained my life to me in great detail, which is eerie, fascinating and liberating all at once.

5. In 2000 I learned just enough HTML to create my first ever website (which looks super outdated now), an online diary where I chronicled every month of my single years in the UK from 2000-2004. Kinda like an early blog version of Bridget Jones. It’s fun to go back and read what I’ve been up to in those years and sometimes I wish I had kept it up, what an amazing archive that would be.
