I felt I had more to say, to share with others, with you; maybe to help switch on an interest in nature or food, to encourage time outside and simplify making things yourself.
Ciara, when I read ‘I felt I had more to say…’, I felt a thud of disappointment thinking you were maybe planning to stop writing here. I’m very glad that’s not the case. It’s wonderful to experience this place through your writing and photography. Happy third anniversary!
Beautiful writing and thoughts. I am embracing leaving behind the idea of perfect. The real joy comes from your community, which you have beautiful captured.
Such a beautiful way with words ( and pastry ) you have Ciara. Here’s to doing what we can when we can. Because I can only speak from my own experience when I say that changes with each passing day. Sometimes each passing moment! But if we all have each others best interests at heart - what more can we ask for.
Happy 3 years! Related heavily to not being best but trying to be better. I’m always criticising myself and agonising over small stupid mistakes I make and this definitely helped but things into perspective :) loved this poem as well ♥️
Ciara, I enjoy looking at the world through your eyes. Your brain. Keep up speaking truths from your beautiful place, helping us realize better is always better than best.
Happy Third anniversary on Substack Ciara. You write beautifully with passion and humanity about food, nature, our North Coast and much more. I always look forward to your unique writing here on Substack.
