Hi there, I’m Majella.
Welcome to my online home, where my words, feelings and moments are woven throughout the pages.
As you’ll see, they take the form of poems, musings, excited shares and emotional stories.
Life is a collection of moments, each holding a special kind of significance - even with their apparently ordinary appearance.
I’m so happy you are here. Settle in, grab a glass of something, find a cosy nook and get comfy. Hopefully you’ll be here awhile…

For as long as I can remember, I have used words to convey how I’m feeling. To help me understand emotions. To connect, communicate and clarify. To make myself feel safe, to feel heard, to feel loved.
But it’s taken me 40 years to finally acknowledge their importance to every part of me. But especially as part of my purpose.
The path I’ve walked has been less than linear, more segues and detours than I liked to admit. Except now I’ve come to the realisation the side steps and “mistakes” were perfectly timed.
From photographer to visual merchandiser, also a barista and bartender, to a stylist and branding specialist to now - a creative who writes, photographs, styles to capture moments.
I think back to when I was younger and I would make huge proclamations about all the world-changing things I would do. How big my dreams were. How vast and improbable and grandiose. And there is nothing wrong with those kinds of aspirations - they surely can change the world.
But as I age, and have the gift of another day, I have realised how important, in fact how critical, it is to live the small moments. Because from each small moment, the bridge to the future is being built.
Now I write to seek more understanding, to remind myself of the precious fragility of life, to bring myself back to presence. And to lift the veil between each of us.
The world is filled with the most exquisite moments of beauty and pain, of tenderness and righteous anger, of love and loss. This is where we pause and share it.
