What is Life Crumbs?

Life Crumbs are the delicious tiny morsels I find out in the world. And also in my brain, which is part of the world.

It's a collection of essays, drawings and stories borne as a result of walking around and sitting and looking out the window, and sometimes going to places and then things happen to me. Like one time in Norway a wasp kept trying to swoop in and eat my pastry and everyone around me seemed fine with it and I didn't understand. I wrote about that. I've also written about how ideas are like gardens, how imperfections in our art connect us and a story about calorie counting that other people seemed to enjoy.

I write to understand and to find the funny. Find the wisdom. And I write to connect with others. To feel less alone because what I'm writing connects on some level with someone out there. This makes me extremely happy.

I hope you enjoy what you find here and if you would like to say hello, then I would love to hear from you: lifecrumbs@substack.com

About me

I’m a writer and illustrator living in Perth, Western Australia. I love being out in nature, exploring, reading, watching things and eating desserts uninhibited by wasps.
