Being You

Don’t let other people define how you should live!

14th September 2018 By Jonelle 8 Comments

Don't let other people define you

I see it so often on social media. Women telling other women how to live and why they’re getting life wrong. Instead of supporting each other, lifting each other up, we are out here pointing fingers about who is doing life right and who isn’t.

Why you ramble no one knows | Thoughts on grief

6th August 2018 By Jonelle 10 Comments

I came here to tell you all kinds of things. I was going to write a blog post about staying positive when you’re job hunting.

More to convince myself that I need to remember that it’s a numbers game than anything else. Instead, I am here to tell you I’m sad.

Hi, I’m Jonelle

I write things, I make art, I like good food, wine, a whisky after a rough day and I’m always up for a new adventure. I believe we can all contribute to a better world and we should do it while living authentically. I answer to “mommy,” live in Wellington New Zealand with my family and work for Local Goverment. Welcome to my blog…
