For most of my life I’ve preferred to attempt things rather than just wonder what it would be like to experience them. I’m fortunate to be visited by inspiration frequently but I’m not always its most hospitable host. Many ideas have floated away from me in search of a more attentive creator. Perhaps, I shouldContinueContinue reading “Cups and conversation | surrender to creative impulse”

Circuit breaker diaries part one
The city of Adelaide declared a 6-day long ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown as of 12.00 am Thursday 19 November, following the discovery of 18 cases of COVID-19 in the state. I did a week of groceries with my family and I was pleased to see that calm and polite shoppers were perusing the aisles of ourContinueContinue reading “Circuit breaker diaries part one”

It’s easy to look at what’s going on in the world and become overwhelmed with emotions that are negative, or to feel hard-done-by, but our circumstances alone do not dictate our level of wellbeing.

Seven months on from my 2020 resolution
I’ve recently read my blog from 31 December 2019 Why I’m not making a list of resolutions for 2020 which, in retrospect, seems fitting for that tumultuous year now nearing its end. I’d decided to create a mantra instead, which was ‘lower your expectations, not your standards’ and I dare say it’s served me wellContinueContinue reading “Seven months on from my 2020 resolution”
Meditations on creativity
Three and a half years ago, I started a personal blog which later grew into something more. The blog that began as jennifertrijo.com is now The Serenade Files, my online publication, with its own dedicated domain. I’ve decided to keep it separate from my personal blog so that I can continue to highlight the accomplishmentsContinueContinue reading “Meditations on creativity”
