Still Away

Hi! Every so often, I find another WordPress blog, and it reminds me that my page, (originally Humble social justice cleric) is still here, trucking along, and even getting some views! It makes me really happy to see that someone has spent a while here, crawling around my scattered thoughts, and found it interesting. If …

Why my personal blog needs to rank with you, not Google

We want to write well and create content we're proud of, without being dictated to by algorithms and search-shaming. So here's how you (should!) build an audience with a personal blog, without keyword research!

HBG Coming Soon: June

Apologies. Due to a pesky migraine I wasn't able to post today. Instead, check out what I'm planning for the next three weeks:

Is it Time for A Leap of Faith?

I've been thinking a lot about my blogging recently. There's some people I follow who have thousands of followers and hundreds of likes, and it makes me feel insecure as a blogger. I'm not a jealous blogger My better self says I'm not jealous because I know they work hard creating their content, but at …

You are worthy of existing (No post this week)

This weekend I had no energy, and right now I need my energy for finding work. Normally I'd write something now to make up for the gap. But sometimes you've got to accept the limits on your spoons, and make time for self care, in whatever form you need at that moment. We're worthy even …

2019 Resolution Theme Review: “Aesthetic”

My resolution for 2019 was "Aesthetic". Lifestyle YouTuber Lavendaire uses themes like "Lead with Light" and "Explore and Experience" to shape her goals and mindset each year. Like her, instead of picking a goal, I choose a theme for each year.

Late Post This Week: Should I post on Advertising or on Giving Support?

Hey, So I’ve been busy, I’m buying my first car very soon and starting a new temp job tomorrow, so suddenly I find myself on Sunday evening with no post. I’ve got two pretty developed ideas for a post, but as I haven’t written either yet, I thought it might be a good idea to …

No post this week – Blog Update

No post this week (18th May), this is because I've had a busy weekend with Eurovision, the end of Game of Thrones, and also I finished a job on Friday. See you next weekend!  

Taking a week Off

Hi. No post this week, as I lost my day yesterday to an agonising migraine-type injury, so not feeling like posting today. Thanks for understanding. See you next week, I will not give up!

Something is Better Than Nothing

Hi I've been growing as a person. I got my autism diagnosis, which I barely believed would actually happen until it did. I've been seeing a therapist, which I barely thought would be worth it until it was. I've been focusing on myself, which wasn't worth it...until it was. I started this blog because I …
