This column is about whatever is front of mind for me, footnotes to my life.

I am a mother, a lapsed academic, a wife, and a Christian. I am a white South African, a Joburger, A Clergyman’s Daughter and an over-thinker. I am a reader, a community cellist, and the chief-cook-and-bottle-washer of our home. My favourite things are talking about books with my friends, dinner parties (of every variety, fancy with flowers and candles or shared fish-fingers over wine while the kids dirty my just-swept floor), and hanging out with my family in our garden.

I love language, biblical metaphors, and talking to interesting people. I have a PhD in critical narrative psychology, and believe we are the stories we tell.

If you enjoy what you read here, please do share it far and wide.
