Welcome to the heart of Buzz n’ Bloom!

This page gathers the themes I write about most often... the quiet shifts, intentional choices, and digital boundaries that shape a slower, more grounded way of living. Each category reflects a different part of this journey.

Feel free to explore whatever resonates!


Home & Daily Life 

Soft reflections on home, routines, marriage, and the grounding spaces that shape daily life. These posts explore the quiet moments that often go unnoticed.

Intentional Living

Reflections and experiments on creating a healthier relationship with technology, alongside notes on slowing down, simplifying your routines, and building a life that feels grounded. These posts explore social media breaks, notification habits, digital clutter, and the small, steady choices that bring more clarity, calm, and presence into your days.

Personal Growth

Gentle reflections on inner shifts, emotional patterns, and the ongoing work of becoming someone you feel at home with. These posts explore growth at a human pace: slow, steady, and deeply personal.

Work & Career

Thoughts on navigating work with intention... energy, boundaries, learning curves, and the subtle shifts that help work feel more human and less overwhelming.


You’ll also notice a few categories: Personal Reflection, Prompt & Pollinate, and Seasonal.

These come from an earlier chapter of my blogging. Personal Reflection was where I shared my own thoughts and experiences. Prompt & Pollinate paired a journal prompt with my own reflection, and invited readers to explore it too. And Seasonal was a space for welcoming in a new season and the feelings that came with it.


PS — If you’re looking for anything specific, all posts and their categories are listed in the sidebar under Labels.

Pressure.

This time of year can bring a lot of pressure. At the grocery store, tills ask you to top up your bill for a cause. The Salvation Army waits at the exits with donation buckets. Churches and non-profits are racing to meet campaign goals. Family and friends send cards and gifts. It can feel like there’s always something more to do... and the financial strain adds up quickly. I used to love giving generously, buying thoughtful gifts, and mailing over 50 Christmas cards. But after years of participating in the chaos of the consumer holiday season, I finally stepped back. At first, it was uncomfortable. I’d sit with someone who gave me a gift, and I had nothing to offer in return. Living far from family meant mailing presents, and the shipping costs alone turned December into a nightmare of expenses. Over time, though, I discovered something freeing in not being part of it all. Family and friends now understand that we don’t exchange gifts, and the question never even comes up. That shift...

What Does Safety 'Feel' Like?

  Hey friends! ✨ When you hear the word 'safety', what is the first thing that comes to mind? I think a lot of us automatically go to physical safety... what is around me? Am I in a safe place? Those are the things that I think about when I am alone out in the world.  This week, we are talking about 'emotional'  s afety. šŸ›Ÿ I wanted to bring this topic to light this week, because I find it so important for us to bee more aware of our emotional safety. When I answered the questions below, I was able to answer them pretty quickly, because I know where I feel most safe, but maybe don't think about it in those moments when I need  to feel safe. This week's questions...  What does emotional safety feel like in your body? Where in your life do you feel most emotionally held right now? What boundary have you set that made you feel more like yourself? What does a soft space look like in your relationships? What’s one thing you can do this week to offer safety to yourse...

New.

New year, new you… That’s what we hear at the start of every year, isn’t it? We hype ourselves up, stay awake until midnight, and try to soak in all the excitement the new year is supposed to bring. But sometimes I wonder… is it all just a front we put on? How do you show your excitement, or do you not fall into the rhythm of it at all? As I sit here typing this, I don’t feel that usual excitement. What I do feel is a deep motivation to make some real changes. I don’t want to carry my bad habits and old cycles into the new year. I want to become a new version of myself, one I don’t slip away from. It’s a big ask, I know, but I’m also an expert in my own patterns. I can see them forming long before they take over, so shouldn’t I be able to change them? Becoming a better, more direct communicator I want to speak with confidence, communicate clearly, and stop letting myself get offended so easily. I want to catch my defense mechanisms before they take over. Example: I’ve noticed that I ...
