Life, it’s feeling so life-y this year, isn’t it?
Surreal and strange with fleeting threads of the finest gold that weaves through the thick foggy air to show us there’s some hope and laughs and good stuff still beaming down on us.
And there is.
2020 – a helluva ride. I keep looking in the mirror to make sure I’m still me; on the outside I’ve got the same face and features, but on the inside everything has changed. Weirdly, I love reinvention. I’m a bit of a change addict; when life gets boring and samey, then doing something totally different always seems a good idea. Jumping in to new things and feeling like a beginner is, hands down, the best medicine I know.
If you’re new here, thanks for stopping by. I’m in the process of reinventing my own purpose and life and it feels good. More space, more writing, more being myself, more genuinely helping the people I can do my best work with. Less social media (time suck!), less consuming short-form content that puts me in a void. More movies, books, good telly. More conversations about how we feel. Yes please.
As i work on creating more (currently working on a story set in Manchester in the 90s) and mentoring amazing people to start their own reinvention, no matter how radical or subtle that is. I hope you’ll join me. Ruth x
My Thoughts
The Reinvention Pt 3: The Best Is Yet To Come
We’ve been back in the UK for almost two years and hasn’t this been a year of unexpectedness? Who knew, back in January, that Hurricane Hercules was about to hit, that words like “isolation” and “bubbles” and “distancing” became the norm. As I write this in November 2020, I can see that living through a […]
The Reinvention Pt2: Absolute Beginners, Kaleidoscope Colours
“But we’re absolute beginners With eyes completely open But nervous all the same” David Bowie, Absolute Beginners It’s May 2018 and I’m sitting with Tony on the beach just outside Barcelona in Montgat. We’ve just had a dip in the Med. I couldn’t be happier because the temperature is sunny and around 23 degrees, […]
The Reinvention Pt 1: Tears and trauma stir something up inside
Because you write, or create, for a living then I’m pretty sure you’re a heart-wide-open kind of person. We choose this path, don’t we, because something inside tells us we have to share our truth and speak our voice in some way? It’s words that unify us, whether we’re copywriters, published authors, unpublished authors, communications […]
Melancholy and Marvel
This week has felt fucking long and rough at times but I’m feeling strangely excited by the new lockdown; a tonic to my chronically overwhelmed and over-wired ADHD brain. Like you I’m sure, I’m wildly oscillating between heart-pumping gratitude and severe anxiety; the kind where my world is about to start falling apart and my […]
