Love is…

July 10, 2015 Jen EdenLeave a comment

   Yesterday marked 11 years since one of my best friends became more than 'just friends'. We have had the most amazing 11 years and I couldn't be more excited for all the time to come.  I think the words above ring true not only for romance but for love as well. Anybody can fall [...]

What I’ve Been Reading

April 1, 2015March 29, 2015 Jen Eden1 Comment

I started the year with about 45 books on my 'to be read' list. Well...ok that was the shortened list. Let's call it my 'to be read first' list! I've read 16 since the new year; although they didn't all start on the list, some of them ended up being added by accident...along with another [...]

Share the Love: Valentine’s Craft Round Up

February 12, 2014February 13, 2014 Jen Eden2 Comments

I don't know about you but I like a little bit of craftiness every now and again. I especially love it when I get to give someone the end result, whether it be a quick origami gift tag, or a project that has had hours/days/weeks of love poured into it. There's something special about being [...]

(Is there anything better than a Monday off work?! )
Just so happened that one of the bookshops we visited yesterday had one copy of @ladybookmad’s latest - unlock your storybook heart - and I just happened to have exactly enough points on my loyalty card to treat myself. Clearly it was meant to be. And I am HERE for the autumnal aesthetic - it’s what my storybook heart lives for. 🧡🍂🍁 Having a poetry moment this weekend so this was the perfect addition to my book stack. Just finished @brian_bilston’s Alexa, What Is There To Know About Love; making my leisurely way through @holliepoetry’s Slug (and finding that every page increases my wanting to go for coffee with her!); dipping into @hannahlowepoet’s The Kids and reminiscing about my teaching days; and now I get to have my heart warmed by more brilliant words from Amanda Lovelace. Recipe for a happy weekend.🥰
Breakfast and research! I’m currently working on a presentation for the Greater Manchester Development Conference happening in September, where I’m going to be speaking about the importance of communicating sustainability effectively and with integrity. During this week’s heatwave in the UK, I’ve seen a lot of defeatism - cries that ‘it’s too late’ to address the climate crisis. This is both untrue and unhelpful. I’ve also seen a lot of content that, whilst factual, focuses only on the bleak state of things without leaving room for hope.
Had an absolutely bloody marvellous time listening to @holliepoetry and @michaelpedersenoyster at @homemcr last week and now their writing is filling up my every spare moment.
Very excited to be going to see the ever awesome @holliepoetry at @homemcr tonight! 🤩 Just love, love, love her poetry.❤️🗒✍️
There is a scream inside me,
Next up on the holiday reading list: You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty by the inimitable @azemezi. Very excited to dive into this beauty.
Holidays are for…
